Hi, I am starting to use Zope and probably my question is too simple (sorry): If I create a web application on a server and want toinstall it on different machine, do I need Zope installed in this second server? Even more, if the first server is Linux and the second one Windows, can I install my application in the Windows Server? I havent found a clear answer for my questions in the web. Thanks, Ernesto.

Yes, unless you just want to suck static pages off the first, and publish them through apache or something similar.. But then you would be hard-pressed to call it a web-appligation ;)
Even more, if the first server is Linux and the second one Windows, can I install my application in the Windows Server?
Yes. Just make sure you have all the same Zope filesystem products on both. Then you just have to copy you Data.fs across.. But wouldn't you rather have it the other way ? Develop on the windows-box and use the linux one for a server ? ;) -- Geir Bækholt

Yes.

Yes, and vice versa. There are, however, a *very* small number of things that are different about Windows and Linux versions of Python. One that comes to mind is that there is no strptime function in Windows... though several third party replacements are available. Just to be safe, I'd test on Windows before delivering the app to the customer. :-) HTH, Dylan

There are also occasional filesystem issues, mostly with regard to paths (especially if they're stored/treated as strings rather than paths.) But unless you wantonly destroy the usual cross-platform of Python, you're good to go. --jcc
