Tremendous reply!! Just what I needed. I'm curious about one thing tho. <If you don't need a regular web server (for serving files outside of Zope), stick with the built-in ZServer. > Does this mean that I have to have all my files in the zope folder? Wouldn't I want to do that anyway? Can you elaborate? I'd like to stick with the Zserver if I can but I don't want to run into any road blocks too soon down the road. -mjm
A site might be more than just Zope, it could be a whole of bunch of servers applications etc. For example an e-commerce section written in say Perl, or streaming audio from some other server or some fancy. Most stuff 90% of sites do can be done in Zope and ZServer is great for that. To serve from ZServer I think files have to be in Zope (but I might be wrong on that)...

Well, files could also be in an ordinary structure and referred to using the External FileSystem product, which creates a link in the Zope Object Database to a folder on your machine. I use this for legacy compatibility - to access an old folder of images that I can't (yet) move over to Zope only. AndyG
