installing and using Zope at an ISP
Hello world :-) Just subscribed to my list and shooting my first question! All you guru's are probbably gonna start banging on my head, but hence, where else to find the anwser to this 100% newbie question :-) Currently i'm running an e-zine, but the current CMS does not satisfy my anymore. Since i have a new project comming up, involving a huge pan-european site, i'm thinking about starting with zope, however, my site is hosted with a ISP (hostrocket.com). An inhouse dedicated server could be possible within the next 2 years. Can i install and use zope without having root access to the server? If the anwser is yes, can you also point my to some documentation about this subject. I downloaded the zope Administrators guide, but that chapter whas not written yet :( Thanks for any help, Greetings, Johan.

Excellent choice. :-)

Yes and no. The only reason you need root access is to start Zope on port 80. However, you may not *want* your web site hosted on a port like 8080 and furthermore that port may be blocked by the ISP's firewall. Assuming you already have Apache and are able to configure it, you can get Apache to function as a reverse proxy for the Zope instance running on a non-privileged port. This is an excellent solution that requires no greater privileges than you probably already have. HTH, Dylan

Yes, but you must still speak with your ISP. Zope is a long running process. Most ISP's kill long running processes as they are likely runawway CGI scripts.

Read the Zope installation instructions... Dieter
