If you use FCGI with Apache, then I don't think there is much of a slow down, but of course there is the small overhead of actually running Apache. The main benefit of Apache is to provide many Virtual Hosts, so your single Zope server can be all of www.abc.com, www.def.com, www.xyz.com, etc. Thsi is achieved using the Virtual Host Monster and Proxy pass in Apache. Caching is another feature that helps defeat the slow responses, either Zope or squid or something like that. cheers Graham -----Original Message----- From: Fearless Froggie [mailto:fearless_froggie@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, 22 May 2002 3:13 To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Zope alone or under Apache

From my research I understand that Zope alone is much faster than under Apache.

Are there any advantages to running Zope under Apache that would make the decrease in speed worthwhile? There seem to be plenty of zope products available to take care of things missing in zope like cgi-bin, etc. I'd be grateful for any "personal experiences" people would have to offer. Many Thanks, Rita Mikusch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
