Zopistas, I recently stumbled over a document that shows how to run ZServer via mod_proxy in Apache(1). Link to the document at the bottom(2). So I thought this might be the ideal solution for us, as we don't need any of the standard web-server functions, as the whole site is made in Zope. (with a turnaround time like no other project I've ever attempted :) So, if we set up the Squid(3) proxy/webcache to forward all requests to port 8080 to port 80, is there anything in particular to watch out for? If I understand the documentation correctly, this will both be the fastest solution (eliminating FastCGI/PCGI and the Zope.cgi issue entirely), and simultaneously allow us to run other Apache sites on the box (for other domains), therefore also being the most flexible solution from our standpoint. Please comment if I'm right or wrong on this. Regards, Alexander Limi http://mp3.no PS: please CC this to me if you answer, because of some stupid filtering done on our univerity network, we can't use our MXs anymore, and we haven't got around to setting up a new mailinglist solution yet. Yeah, procmail, I know :) (1) http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver/ (2) Yeah, I know, to much time on alt.sysadmin.recovery. Now where did I put that LART...

If all you are doinf is pure Zope, why not just run ZServer and avoid apache all together? -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900
Ooops, didn't see the 'other domains' comment ... my bad.
