i think we can look at it this way run zserver only or run apache in front of zserver. or run other servers (IIS/roxen,etc) in front of zserver with apachein front, we have several options -pcgi -proxypass -mod_fastcgi -mod_ocgi2 pcgi was the first(?) apache/zserver interface. it is a long running cgi. installation tips are in zopehome/doc/ proxypass - make use of apache proxy capability. there are a lot of howtos available -mod_fastcgi & mod_pcgi2 - a module for apache. one using fastcgi, one pcgi2. howtos also available pick one, and test that out. zope.org uses proxypass -----Original Message----- From: Dario Lopez-Kästen <dario@ita.chalmers.se> To: zope@zope.org <zope@zope.org> Date: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 6:46 PM Subject: [Zope] How to run Zope?

Hello!

we are trying to figure out the best way to run Zope behind apache.

Background:

We have a machine that will run Zope. Zserver is running all the time. We want to use Apache to serve Zope and other static/php/perl things as well. We also need to use SSL with Zope and apache seem a better choice thatn using SSL-enabled Zserver (more proven, more stable).

So, question:

What is the recommende way to server Zope behind Apache, with URL-rewriting, possible multiple site-hosting, etc.

Is it as a CGI? If so which one? Is it using Apache acting as a proxy to Zope? Is it using any of the available Apache-Zope modules?

or something else?

we are confused; we have read the howtos available, but we are not able to understand the proper way. Obviously there are different requirements for differents scenarios, but it is hard to understand which senario applies to what situation.

Also, we do not fully understand the consequences of the varioius methods available.

Any help is as usual appreciated.

/dario

PS: a howto may come out of this question.
