Hello! I have some questions about Zope and I thought I ask them before spending alot of time reading the documentation. Can I install zope on a apache system WITHOUT being root? My ISP is running apache on a Solaris 5.6 system. I want to create a system that lets any user create his own User Data Record. The user data record will contain data about the user, e.g. Name, email address, etc. This record should only be editable by the user (and admin) with somekind of login. This user data must then be searchable! Listings on all or some of the data should be able to present in different sorting orders, e.g. Lastname, country, etc. Is Zope suited for this kind of system? Maybe someone already has created a system like this? // Anders -- Thought I could organize freedom how Scandinavian of me

You can, but would your ISP allow you to run Long Running Process? Zope is LRP, you know, and many ISPs are very afarid of it. In any case you'd nned a support from ISP to setup a way their WWW server will use to talk to your Zope installation - pcgi-wrapper, mod_pcgi2, ProxyPass...

Looks like a job for Zope Portal Toolkit; probably, you'd need to extend it... Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann Foundation for Effective Policies phd@phd.russ.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

We made something like this with zclasses and regular user folders recently, using a zclass to hold the info, and dynamically creating users with localroles in their own zclass-instance, allowing them to edit their own information.. Not the best way if you expect a lot of writes to your server,i guess, but nice enough for small sites.. -- Geir Bækholt Hansen web-developer/designer geirh@funcom.com http://www.funcom.com
