I finally convinced my client to give Zope a try. It's taken a long time and I've had to plow thru a lot of "What's Python!?" "What's Zope!?" questions and shrink-wrap inertia. It's a small project, but it's a project and I get to play with Zope! Anyway, I had to share the news with someone that can relate to how I feel about finally having a Zope project that pays! Now for the HELP part. The target system will be RH6.2 and we need to run Apache with SSL in front of Zope and MySQL behind it. I can handle Zope and MySQL, but I have very little experience with installing and configuring Apache and SSL to work in front of Zope. Before I wander blindly into the web looking for the right documentation, I was hoping that someone here might have good pointers to HOWTO's that would speed the learning process for me. Zope specific leads (if there are any) would be fantastic. Thanks for any help you can provide. Eric.

Congrats on the first (paying) Zope job. Get the SSL set up on Apache w/o any special Zope setup first. Depending on your setup, SSL can be a snap (w/RPM install), or it can mean recompiling half of the world. http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/apache_zserver_ssl walks through install SSL + install of VirtualHostMonster. http://www.zope.org/Members/comlounge/vsr is a simple fix to make it easier to use https for absolute_urls. Good luck. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
Eric, I was in a similar position to you yesterday. I used the ./doc/WEBSERVER.txt in the Zope directory as a guide. This gives you several choices. I used fastcgi with TCP port and it worked first time! I still need to mess around a bit with integrating the authentication, but for now I am using the system inside Zope for Zope pages, and my original Apache system for others.
