Not quite. ZopeHTTPServer is a console app just like ZServer. The service is a PCGI-like thing that runs Zope as a service, listening for named pipe connections from something that is run as a CGI by the web server.

ZServer which I got as a separate download. I have everything working just lovely with the ZServer now, but it needs to be run as an NT service (and respond to start and stop signals, etc) at which point I freely admit my own inadequacies in this area.

ZServer is still at alpha 2 so it's premature to focus on things like how it is packaged. I *think* we have all the issues figured out and the next release, perhaps this month, will be a beta1. Until we get into beta, we'll have to hope that someone in the community packages it up as a service.

Now my question. How can I do what I need to do. Is it simply a case of redirecting a python 'shell' file used by the service to the start.py in the ZServer module, or is there more to it? If it is this simple, which python 'shell' file do I use? If it is not this simple, can someone send me basic instructions on how to do it (why is NT like this - give me an rc.local file any day - I know where I stand with that stuff).

One issue off the top of my head is integration with the NT Event Log. --Paul
