Sorry if this is all easily understood by studying the source code -- and I'm sure it is -- but please help me out anyway. If ZServer is running, it seems the PCGI wrapper -- or mod_pcgi? -- is able to connect directly to ZServer, without the need of pcgi-wrapper/pcgi_publisher.py. This is fine, and it is our current scenario, which works great. Unfortunately, if ZServer is _not_ up and running, the PCGI wrapper will kick in and start serving stuff itself. This is annoying when doing maintenance that involves stopping ZServer. Is fixing this as trivial as commenting out stuff from Zope.cgi? The main reason for my trouble is that occasionally I find the Zope OFS is behaving oddly -- SQL connections suddenly being closed and refusing to open, for example -- and in these cases I often find pcgi-wrapper running. This happened again just five minutes ago, and the process list looked like this: [...] 16947 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 16968 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd 17111 ?
