Zope on a Windows 2K cluster behind IIS
Hi! I'm trying to retrieve some info in order to perform a "sui generis" Zope installation for a (very obstinate) customer. 1) install Zope on a Windows 2K cluster 2) access it via IIS 1) I've found the Karin's post on the ZDP here http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zbook/book/II/ZopeLayers/ZopeServer/Comments/95... and it seems quite complete. Does anybody have some experience in doing the same kind of installation on Win2K or some other feedback on a similar experience? 2) I've found two approachs: a) using PCGI as described here http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zbook/book/VII/IntegraWebServers/IntegraWindows... b) using something similar to Apache's mod_proxy directives (aaah, if I could use Apache.....;-) but you need to purchase ISA Server and the customer isn't willing to do so. c) another approach is the one explained here http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/ASP404 , but I find it a bit too tricky... Are these approachs (especially a) compatible with a WIn2K cluster Zope installation as described in 1) ? I'm not experienced in Win administration and I would appreciate any feedback/help/pointer to other doc over this matter. I could also make a fine job and publish a nice HOW-TO after having survived this foolish installation... ;-) Thanks! Mik

This was nothing more than a toy implementation for an intranet I did to keep someone happy. I wouldn't recommend it for anything serious. People have said you can just point a virtual directory at Zope and that works fine, I have not tried this myself. The PCGI support for IIS is terrible, I would not recommend it. The real answer get or write an ISAPI Proxy. There are some none free ones available, hopefully one day someone will get around to writing a free one. -- Andy McKay www.agmweb.ca
