I can't seem to find on your site whether Zope can be installed on a web hosting acct. or must be installed directly on your own server. Thanks, Jeff Rawlins
Jeff, I have cc'ed your question to the list, not to defer it, but to let you pick the brains of several people who have tried, some successful, some not, to run zope as a user in a web hosting environment. None of us here have tried it so we're not really the ones to ask. It is true there is no documentation on Zope with web hosting, perhaps your discussion will provide information for the Zope Documentation Project, AKA the Martijn Conspiracy. As I understand it, the web hosting provider you pick is key to the whole issue. If they run the kind of environment that works with Zope, great. If they don't (and most probably don't by default) you must communicate to them clearly what you want. If they are cooperative and cool, they will oblige you and join our Zope hosting family. If you can't get ahold of them and/or they don't care, your out of luck unless you go with a Zope friendly provider of which there are two to be found here.: http://www.zope.org/Community/ZHP -Michel

My experience has been that if the hosting company is running Apache (many do) and if they have mod_rewrite installed (which is probably also pretty common), it is not *too* difficult to get Zope running in that environment. However, many hosting companies have policies against creating long running processes. Zope takes up a few MB of memory, which is considerably more than an instance of Apache... so many providers are not keen on that kind of thing. Before putting effort into trying to make Zope work in their environment, you'll probably want to ask them if they are willing to let you run a process that will hang out in memory all the time. CodeIt (one of the Zope hosting companies, http://www.codeit.com) will actually host Zope for you. You don't need to deal with building and configuring the package at all. Kevin
