As Andy also said, "It depends". It depends on what you want to do with your website. Write and let us know so we can give more specific answers. Chances are you can put all your content in Zope's database.

Some folks decide to store some files outside of Zope and serve them thru Apache, for any of the following reasons:

1. You've got thousands of them 2. They're huge (full-length mpeg2 movies, for example -- hundreds of megabytes) 3. They need to be accessible to other applications

But if you don't have such requirements, count on Zope for everything.

Tremendous reply!! Just what I needed. I'm curious about one thing tho. <If you don't need a regular web server (for serving files outside of Zope), stick with the built-in ZServer. > Does this mean that I have to have all my files in the zope folder? Wouldn't I want to do that anyway? Can you elaborate? I'd like to stick with the Zserver if I can but I don't want to run into any road blocks too soon down the road. -mjm
