Hosting files sitting out in the OS file structure from Zope
I am running: Zope Version (Zope 2.5.1 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.3, win32) Python Version 2.1.3 (#35, Apr 8 2002, 17:47:50) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] System Platform win32 Can anyone tell me how to host pages via Zope if the pages are not actually internal to the ZODB? I had to install MRTG on our network. MRTG writes out a number of HTML files. It just writes them to a directory sitting on the hard drive of the server. (e.g. c:\mrtg\docs\<somename.html>) I would like to serve those pages with my Zope server. The pages are updated every 5 minutes or so, hence, I am not inclined to sit there FTP'ing them up into Zope as they are created :) I thought I was well on the way to solving the issue by using Apache, mod_rewrite, and SiteBase. Much to my surprise, I ended up with Apache serving Zope content and NOT the other way around. Maybe I did it wrong, but more likely (after re-reading all the documentation) I didn't understand what I was doing in the first place and got it working just like it should, it just wasn't what I wanted. Can anyone tell me how to serve pages out of my file system using Zope while still being able to serve all of my ZODB content? Thanks Robert J.

But that is the expected result, even if it's not what you really wanted. To my knowledge, Zope has very little in the way of HTTP proxying (httpmounter is the *only* one, I think) and quite a bit more in the way of mounting local filesystems into the ZODB (LocalFS, ExtFile, etc.) Zope's HTTP server also hasn't been under as much scrutiny as Apache's, so it's a common practice to have Apache/Squid in front of it, sanitizing any malformed requests ahead of time. In any case, the Zope via Apache method also gives me php, servlet, and UserDir lookups. Though *my* site's original content is almost exclusively Zope currently, I still need to support various php applications and I'd like to provide a variety of methods for my users to get their own content up. With RewriteRules, I can even have my main webserver front for web services on entirely different machines (for example, if mrtg ran on an isolated host with no file server access). -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
