Well, I know 9.0 is bad because of a bug in the threading library ... Not recommended for running long running python processes such as Zope. I've been running 7.3 for a while now and it's proven very solid, so I'm not moving off of it until the new kernel distro's start coming out next year. As for Apache, I just did a test with 2.0.47 vs 1.3.28 ... Works much the same way, except that caching is experimental and does not work properly. I had to go back to 1.3.28 because the 2.0.47 cache module was caching all sorts of things it wasn't supposed to. If you don't use Apache's cache, but just do the proxying part (Or maybe use Squid for the caching), then you're ok. As for 2.6.1, it's a good upgrade, I did it a while back. Theres just one bug related to packing your Data.fs after an undo (It corrupts the Data.fs) that os truly scary. Otherwise it works fine. Might want to look at CMF 1.4 too ? Good luck!

It seems our server kept running solely on it's RAM memory, but it finally died this morning. Mayor bummer because I have to reinstall everything from scratch, there goes my weekend. We were using zope 2.5.1 and CMF 1.3 with Apache 1.3.23 on RedHat 7.3 Our Data.fs file has been backed up, I hope we can recuperate that one :-) We now have the opportunity to upgrade to whatever is best. Here are some questions: 1. I'm not sure wheiter to use RH7.3, 8.0 or 9.0 (I've seen some issues with 9.0 on the mailing list) 2. Also I'm thinking of installing Zope 2.6.1 or 2.6.2b5 in stead of 2.5.1. 3. Is there a difference between Apache 1.3.X and Apache 2.X regarding the communication with Zope? Any suggestions are very welcome. WKR, Roel. - - - Roel Van den Bergh This email and any attached files are confidential and may be legally privileged.
