Zope and Apache vs ZAP? Which server to use?
Ok, I'm installing Zope. My goal is to set up a development environment on my local Linux box, which would then be the basis of a live production environment on another box, to be placed at an ISP. So basically, while I have a little time to learn, I want to learn in the setup that makes the most sense when I take the site live. The site is a commercial website with roughly 8-10 templates and maybe 350 pages of content, which will grow every week by at least 10 pages. (Obviously, I'm thinking in non-Zope terms). Anyway, which server should I use? I'm guessing the Zope Server is not what I want. What's the difference between Zope+Apache and ZAP? Which do you recommend I use? Thanks again, Phil who one day will stop spamming you all ;-)

The determining factor, IMHO, is whether the server box is going to be dedicated to your site (and/or domain) or if your ISP will host multiple virtual domains on the same box. If it's going to be a dedicated box, there is no reason not to run ZServer. It is certainly simpler to set up.

ZAP is an Apache installation preconfigured to run Zope. you will likely want to at least examine the configuration files from ZAP even if you want to configure Apache to run Zope yourself (ZAP uses a slightly older version of Apache). HTH, Michael Bernstein.
