Hi, i am new to Zope but it already works for me, good thing it seems to be, thanks! My problem is to understand how to use Zope in different modes. As i see, it could be done by itself, only ZServer; and with Apache like PCGI and FastCGI and mod_pcgi (that one i havnt tried yet). Only thing i cant figure out is how to get 2.3.3 working in a single-threaded mode. I am just curious about it, is it possible any more at all? doc/INSTALL.txt says There are two ways to run Zope: -- ... - If you *only* want to use PCGI and you don't need multi-threaded operation, you can have a special program, the pcgi_publisger, start Zope for you. See the WEBSERVER.txt file for details on ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ using Zope with an existing webserver. and doc/WEBSERVER.txt is quite vague about it :( saying: Using Zope in single-threaded mode with pcgi_publisher ------------------------------------------------------ The installation process should create a 'Zope.cgi' PCGI file. Copy the 'Zope.cgi' file to your web server's cgi-bin directory. On Unix you can also create a symbolic link to 'Zope.cgi' from your cgi-bin directory. For example:: ln -s /home/amos/Zope/Zope.cgi /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/Zope At this point you should perform any other steps you web server requires to install and configure a CGI script. Note: For more information on PCGI check out Jeff Bauer's "PCGI pages", http://starship.skyport.net/crew/jbauer/persistcgi/. When your Zope.cgi file is correctly configured as a CGI script with your web server, you are ready to access Zope through the web. You should point your browser at: 'http://youmachine.example.com:8998/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage' (Your URL maybe be different depending on how your web server is configured.) You should be prompted to enter a username and password. Enter the Zope "super manager" name and password. ---------------------------- AND WHAT I DID IS LIKE THIS ---------------------------- To get single-threaded Zope going and did the following 1. installed Zope from source like 'python w_pcgi.py' into /home/zope/zopew 2. made /home/zope apache's DocumentRoot and let it treat all files ending as .cgi CGI scripts 3. assured apache treats http://localhost/zopew/test.cgi as CGI and executes it. 4. without starting Zope with ./start and without redirecting Auht. headers from apache i issued in a brauser http://localhost/zopew/Zope.cgi/manage/, and without ending slash and without manage/ but nothing happened. It tired and eventually timed out. (with message - Temporarily Unavailable, i believe its Konquerer) I expected it to start to communicate with Zope, without ZServer. When i tried to run ./Zope.cgi from the command line, it hanged to, seems like waiting for input. Practically i can do very well without single-threaded mode but i have a old machine and there runs weird Zope, what i try to understand. it has proccesses like nobody 1605 0.0 0.3 6720 3464 ?
