RE: [Zope] Zope behind non-Apache webservers
I don't think this is a fair response. First, he doesn't need all of Apache's (web server) advanced capabilities but he may still need some of Zope's (content management/application) capabilities. As you correctly point out, they are different types of tools. As for running behind all web servers, I think you way oversimplify the situation. First, Zope 2.7.x stopped support for PCGI so you can't fallback on that. Second, I run two sites behind two somewhat exotic web servers (Roxen and iPlanet) and neither was easy to setup and I'm not happy with the current configurations. Getting information on specific details of interfacing Zope to these servers has been difficult and the integration was far from seamless. I don't have anything useful for the original poster but I can certainly empathize with his situation and I would not discount the importance of getting the kind of information he is seeking. -- Mike

1. If you don't need "Apache's advanced capabilities" why use a system 1000 times more advanced than Apache?
2. Apache is simply a web server.. Zope is a CMS.. Do not compare one with the other.
Your answer: Zope can run behind all web servers that use pcgi or that can pass requests to a system behind them (i.e. rewrite rules).

Does anyone know if Zope can be run behind either httpd[1] or Boa[2]? I have a small personal site and have never needed all of Apache's advanced capabilities so I have always used either of the aforementioned servers.

The problem here is not Zope but the Web Server features: As soon as the Web Server supports some kind of proxying, you can use it together with Zope (and VHM). Same is true, if it supports "FastCGI". While "pCGI" is not longer part of the official Zope release (as it is rarely used), you can still fetch it separately from CVS and use it -- in case the Web server does not support more efficient ways of integration. -- Dieter
