Newbie: Zope installation and phpBB compatibility
Hi all, The first time I read about zope was about 20 minutes ago and since then I've been reading some docs. I'm developing a website and I have 2 questions. But before that, the facts: I have a server running apache2 webserver and I've already installed phpBB to run a forum in my site. Question 1: Is zope compatible with apache2 and phpBB? Question 2: I was thinking about developing the website in my laptop and the deploying it to the server through scp, ftp, I don't really know yet (maybe there's an easier way but none I know about). Where should I install zope, on the server or on my laptop? If I put it on the laptop will zope allow me to deploy it to the server? If I install it on the server, can I develop the website on my laptop? Please help me with any suggestions. Best regards, -- Paulo J.

Certainly no problem with apache2, not sure about phpBB.

It is OK to do initial development on the laptop. But once you have a system working, you will want to move your laptops Data.fs to its permanent location on the server. After that, you have to manually export and re-import folders. I would just work from the server from the beginning. Jim Penny
Please help me with any suggestions.

Question 1: Is zope compatible with apache2 and phpBB?
Rumours (--> mailing list archives) say that Zope is incompatible with Apache 2 at the moment (more precisely: there are people that tried and failed). Unless you need single sign in, internet applications are very easy to (loosely) integrate. Thus, you can use Zope and any other internet application technique together (php, jsp+j2ee, asp, ...)

Install Zope both on the server (for production) and on your laptop (for development). We try to move as much templates/logic as possible out of Zope's ZODB into the filesystem. There we the use open source version control "cvs" to manage and distribute changes. We use "ZSyncer" (a Zope product) to synchronize configuration and remaining templates/logic kept in ZODB between development and production. -- Dieter

Dieter, would you mind elaborating a bit more about how you move templates and logic out of ZODB and into the file system. I am just getting started with Zope and while I like a lot of things about how Zope works, the "through the web" development style is almost enough to make me decide Zope is not worth the pain. If I can get the ExternalEditor product set up that would help. And I was thinking of using ZCVSMixin to track versions in a way that allows one to diff between versions. But I would still rather fire up xemacs and open up mutilple buffers than have several browser windows full of textareas on my screen. -- Cynthia Kiser cnk@caltech.edu

There is no "compatibilty" issue whatsoever. Some virtual hosting directives for httpd.conf have changed and it is up to whoever tries to set that up to read up on it. jens
