I have been using zope for a while, but now I am thinking about moving the bulk of my website to zope. Is it better to use apache with zope, or will zope cope well enough on its own? What advantages does apache have over zpublisher, if any? Regards, Julian Gollop Codo Technologies ltd.

Always use *something* in-front of ZServer. Zope/ZServer itself isn't robust enough to trust in a hostile network environment. Apache is a good choice, if you understand how to configure Apache to take advantage of the additional protection it can provide.

Apache is well tested, and well maintained. Apache is also vastly better at RFC compliance. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution." -Sathington Willoughby

If you does not know why you need an apache before Zope, use pound reverse balancing proxy designed mainly for Zope. It is very good, lightweight, fast and it removes/reformats bad http request so your Zserver will be happy. www.apis.ch/pound You can use flash-fast http proxy Squid as reverse caching proxy too of course. If you incorporate www.esi.org tags in your html (and compile squid with ESI support), you can get different caching times for parts of single pages. But if you does not know why to use squid before Zope, use pound. Regards, -- Jaroslav Luke -- Tento e-mail nemu*e obsahovat VIRY jeliko nepocházi z virózního systému M$ Windows!
http://www.zopewiki.org/ZopeAndApache Summary: When should I run Zope behind Apache? a.. You need both Zope based sites and non-Zope based sites. b.. You are a nervous dude that don't trust that Zopes Zserver can handle when people send you weird and invalid http requests in hacking and denial of service attacks (ZServer? is pretty vulnerable to DOS attacks). c.. You want to use Apaches SSL. (There is also ZopeSSL?, but Apaches SSL is well-tested and full featured). d.. You want to have a cache of the finished pages to speed up access. e.. Your boss/customer requires you to use Apache and you don't want to argue with him/her. f.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julian Gollop" <julian.gollop@ntlworld.com> To: "Zope mailing list" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 1:47 AM Subject: [Zope] Zpublisher or apache?
