I did setup my first Zope server accessed via Apache and PCGI some minutes ago, and I think now I understand how pcgi works. As far as I understood PCGI supports only an architecture where the ZServer runs on the same host as Apache. PCGI currently does not support INET sockets. Is this true? Did anyone manage to set up a Zope system with a remote Apache server? Miklos Nemeth
Are there any sites out there showcasing a practical application of either Confera or zDiscussion? Lots of places to download the stuff from, or get modified versions of the code, but it appears that simply nowhere are there practical applications... (/frustration/) Harry

That is so. You can put Apache and Zope on different machines by using Apache's proxy or rewrite modules, or you can look into FastCGI which is much like PCGI but doesn't cost a fork() and can use a tcp port to communicate with Zope, allowing you to move it to another machine. Mike.

I thought we had just established that FastCGI does *NOT* yet work with Zope. Can we *PLEASE* get a definitive answer on this!! Harry

If your site is entirely accessible from an anonymous user, then you can use fastCGI with the latest stable version. If you need authentication, you just need to use aq more recent version of mod_fastcgi and zope will be fully functiional (barring any bugs on the apache module, of course). --sam

Consider doc/WEBSERVER.txt the definitive answer. It has been updated in the CVS and will be included in the next Zope 2.1 release. As respects the present queries, a SNAP of 2.2.3 is _required_ to use FastCGI with _full_ functionality. 2.2.2 may work, but it is untested and it does not have support for the '-pass-header' option. You will not be able to authenticate through FastCGI using header-based authentication with 2.2.2. Mike.
