[Zope] How to run Zope?

[Bak @ kedai]

i think we can look at it this way
run zserver only
or run apache in front of zserver.
or run other servers (IIS/roxen,etc) in front of zserver

with apachein front, we have several options
-pcgi
-proxypass
-mod_fastcgi
-mod_ocgi2

pcgi was the first(?) apache/zserver interface.  it is a long running cgi.
installation tips are in zopehome/doc/

proxypass - make use of apache proxy capability.  there are a lot of howt=
os
available

-mod_fastcgi & mod_pcgi2 - a module for apache.  one using fastcgi, one
pcgi2.  howtos also available

pick one, and test that out.  zope.org uses proxypass
