I have been snooping around a little bit trying to see if it is possible to run two instances of Zope on the same machine (but with a different port). It looks like the dynamic information is kept in the "var" subdirectory of the release. Is it possible to start ZServer and tell it to use a particular "var" directory? Or is it common to simply copy whole releases?

I'm not sure if it is common or not, however I simple copy the whole release. I use one for production on port 8080 and one for development on port 9080. I change a lot of stuff in the lib directory though si copying the whole release makes sense. Cheers, Benno
