[Zope] Running ZopeHTTPServer and PCGI together = a bad thing?

[Tony McDonald]

Hi,
I'm running a ZopeServer on port 9673 of a machine and have set up a 
virtual host using the Apache redirect rules to start up the PCGI 
process when someone enters the site via the virtual host route.

My problem is that the information shown to the user is *different*, 
depending on what route they choose.

If I look at the database information for the PCGI Zope I get
Database Size :: 11.3M
Database Location :: 
/home/nnle/zope/Zope-1.10.2-solaris-2.5.1-sparc/var/Data.bbb
You are running Zope version: Zope 1.10.2 (binary release, python 
1.5.1, solaris-2.5.1-sparc), on Python 1.5.1 (#1, Feb 16 1999, 
18:37:21) [GCC 2.7.2] on sunos5. Zope has been running (with a 
process ID of 24082) for 19 days 15 hours 49 min16 sec.
(on this server I can only 'undo' two or three transactions)

The same data for the port :9673 Zope is
Database Size :: 11.3M
Database Location  :: 
/home/nnle/zope/Zope-1.10.2-solaris-2.5.1-sparc/var/Data.bbb
You are running Zope version: Zope 1.10.2 (binary release, python 
1.5.1, solaris-2.5.1-sparc), on Python 1.5.1 (#1, Feb 16 1999, 
18:37:21) [GCC 2.7.2] on sunos5. Zope has been running (with a 
process ID of 3895) for 22 days 43 min 40 sec.
(on this server I can 'undo' literally hundreds of transactions).

In addition, the Zope server is much faster than the PCGI.

I have been working on the 9673 server for a long time, and usually 
start up the PCGI to demo the site without using port numbers. 
Eventually however, I must get rid of port numbers and (presumably) 
use the PCGI method.

I'm really concerned that there is the discrepancy in the server and 
would like to get it sorted out.

Does anyone have *any* clues as to what is happening?

cheers
tone.
