Hmm...

3 times in a row I've tried using composer to publish into my zope server - each time the server has locked up completely after receiving the last image on the new page. I'm using the zope standalone server under win95 osr2 and netscape communicator 4.5 on the same machine.

This is a known problem with ZopeHTTPServer. It is documented in the CHANGES.txt file, and is also locatable with the Zope bugs and features collector: http://www.zope.org/Collector Basically, rather than expend more energy to fix it, we decided to focus instead on the new stand-alone server architecture, ZServer. This doesn't mean we won't accept ZopeHTTPServer patches from people, it's just that we have chosen to focus our energies elsewhere right now. In fact, I believe that the current ZServer alpha works with PUT, though I have not tried it myself yet.

Apart from being nervous about having to manual kill the zope server I'm left wondering how I'll manage if I'm publibshing to a remote site.

Basically if you want to use PUT right now, you should use PCGI, or the version of Zope that runs as a service on win32. Of course, you can always use through the web editing. Soon, when ZServer is rolled into the main release, PUT will work with the stand-alone server, and you'll get FTP access to boot! -Amos
