Hello, I am trying to install Zope on my machine(SuSE 6.3, apache 1.3.9) with FastCGI and am having a very tough time. The first time I tried it was with the RPM's, but I couldn't really figure out what was going on with those so I uninstalled them, thinking that if I tried the installation from the source I would have a better understanding of Zope configuration and be able to install it the 'right' way. So now I'm about halfway through the installation, trying to set up Zope to use Apache and fastcgi, and I think I'm stuck. Fastcgi has been set up and is running(the 10/06 snapshot as required), and I am to the point in the WEBSERVER.TXT file where I choose whether I have Apache or ZServer handle the requests(?). I have all of my Zope source in a /usr/src directory since I've been putting it together, and am looking at what my next step would be. If anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. Thank you -- Lucas Vogel lucas7@home.com ICQ: 44697169

It would probably be worthwhile to test your Zope installation before tackling the Apache/Zope integration. Start Zope using the supplied 'start' script (which starts ZServer) and try connecting to your site using port 8080, the port ZServer listens for web requests on by default. If that works, then look for the HowTo on Zope/Apache integration on the zope.org website. In case you aren't clear on what is going on, you need to run Zserver whether or not you run Apache. Integrating the two means Apache will hand off designated requests to Zserver, through in your case the fastcgi interface. The advantage of this is you can have Apache to serve some content, but still have the Zope stuff accessible through the normal http port. I've only done this myself using pcgi, so I probably can't help you with fastcgi. --RDM
Lucas, you may want to start out by reading http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO It won't answer many of your Apache/Zope integration questions, but it'll get you going. Search for "Apache" on Zope.org to find HowTos about apache/zope integration. Lucas Vogel wrote:
