Why is this true? I notice that zope.org uses apache and I have been mulling over whether I should use apache (or Roxen, etc) as the main webserver. For my test site I am just using Zope though. Before I get lots of hits, why would Zope 2.x be faster? Also, it seems that zope.org is not lightning fast even with Apache as the main webserver (which was discussed under caching). What is the best strategy for a high-hit site?
Actually the strategy we are using with zope.org and Apache write now is slower (PCGI) than what we're migrating to starting today (mod_fastcgi). As for zope.org's sub-lightning speed, that's explained in a previous email I sent today. We've been too cheap to buy another machine, so one PII-350 is servicing zope.org (plus digicool.com and six other sites) PLUS the mailing lists PLUS mail delivery. We should have moved the mail stuff off to another machine a long time ago. But we've been too cheap. :^) --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul@digicool.com 540.371.6909 ----------------------------------------- The Open Source Zope application server http://www.zope.org/

Actually, I guess the real intent of the question was how many pages/sec can a Medusa server handle versus Apache? At what point do you decide to cut over? I ask this out of ignorance.I have never worked with a high volume site. I just found it somewhat odd that zope runs off of Apache as the entrance to the site. Thanks, John

Medusa is faster, but cannot serve static pages next to Zope. Apache can. That's the sole reason zope.org runs behind Apache. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------
