Hi guys, I have some experience with Zope on my desktop pc with an WIN XP operating system. Now I want to order my own virtual server but I am unsure about the features I will need and I do not know how to install ZOPE on such a system at all. Can you give me any advice what features I will certainly need, e.g. SSH(?), Root access(?)? Can you tell me where I can find more infos about this issue (installing ZOPE on different VServers with different OSs)? I hope my inquiries were not too trivial to be answered. sincerely, Benjamin __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsstarkeren E-Mail-Postfach!

I've just ordered the "Zope Virtual Server" from Zettai, which seemed to mysteriously morph from a Zope instance to a virtual server part way through the sign up process - which I am very happy about. I wouldn't have chosen a virtual server initially, because all my experience is Win32 and I don't have time to learn for this project. However, it feels like the best of both worlds - I didn't have to set Zope up at all, it was all in place for me (Zope 2.8.1, Plone 2.1 + the "classic" products I'd have expected to install), and I get SSH and Root access more or less as a bonus. The only thing I have had to get my head around is the file system - but that hasn't been hard at all. You might consider a Zettai account, or you might want to see how they do it, 'cos they seem to have got it right from my PoV. Put it this way - I bought a second identical account less than a week later for a personal project.
I hope my inquiries were not too trivial to be answered.

This same hosting thread went on a short time ago but I will throw another big plug for Zettai.net. George and his team have been incredibly helpful and supportive. Lots of great information upon signing up and help is ALWAYS there through a wide variety of communication channels. hth -Allen Philip Kilner wrote:

Whatever goes for hosting a Zope under linux goes for hosting a Zope under a vserver. If the vserver guy has does his job, to you it should be like any other linux server. Most of our server linuxes are in fact vservers. 2005/9/27, Benmania Guin <benmania@web.de>:

Somehow, you need to install/manage your Zope. "ssh" is one possibility. There might be others (though "ssh" is a good one). , Root access(?)? "Root access" indicates a *nix server. Under *nix, you need "root access" to bind to a so called priviledged port (any port with number < 1024). The standard HTTP port (80) is priviledged. If you want to use it, you need "root access". If you do not need priviledged ports, you do not need root access. An essential feature required for Zope: the virtual server must allow long running processes (which hopefully is standard for a virtual server environment). -- Dieter
