Hello; Currently my workplace is experimenting with using Zope (on NT) to serve or corporate Intranet. For the last while we've been prototyping everything on a test-server for now in a self-contained way (using ZServer to dish up the pages). Now we are taking a second step and trying to test Zope using IIS (version 4, I believe) to act as the webserver using pcgi. This is where things begin to get a bit sticky as I've got a reasonable amount of familiarity with Zope now, but almost none with NTServer or IIS. Working with our Admin, we went through the instructions of configuring Zope/IIS though still seem to be running into problems. (The available document, the IIS How-To on Zope.org is a bit dated, perhaps? A few of the steps differ from the ones we had to perform on our server; such as the location of the registry key we had to edit, etc). One of the items that troubles me is that perhaps I've also complicated issues by using an external version of Python (we needed to install the win32 Python extensions for some of our Zope products, which in turn required an external version of python), so I don't absolutely know if our configuration is correct or not! The info in our Zope.pcgi file is as follows: PCGI_NAME=Zope PCGI_PORT=8090 #PCGI_MODULE_PATH=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\lib\python\Zope PCGI_MODULE_PATH=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\lib\python\Main.py PCGI_PUBLISHER=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\pcgi\pcgi_publisher.py PCGI_EXE=C:\Progra~1\python21\python.exe PCGI_SOCKET_FILE=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.soc PCGI_PID_FILE=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.pid PCGI_ERROR_LOG=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet\var\pcgi.log PCGI_DISPLAY_ERRORS=1 BOBO_REALM=Zope BOBO_DEBUG_MODE=1 INSTANCE_HOME=C:\Progra~1\MCIInternet (The change in the PCGI_MODULE_PATH was made after the test on Zope.pcgi failed, and other examples showed it pointing to Main.py instead... the python\Zope directory is empty in my installation). If we try to access Zope via http://webtest/cgi-bin/Zope.pcgi without Zope running we get an error from Zope.pcgi that indicates it is working correctly on that end. When we start Zope and try to access it we typically get an error message on the Zope console (CMD/DOS-Window). Then it usually starts a pcgi-wrapper.exe process which then sits around using 99% of the CPU and can't be killed by an 'End Task'. Unfortunately, this seems to be doing little to gain the confidence of the Admin I am working with (he distrusts the lack of "available documentation"). I'd like to be able to pinpoint where the problem is without having to constantly bother the admin over and over again to try different options, just to ease aggravation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jeff Robinson Graphic Designer Motor Coach Industries
