[Zope] Zope and IIS

[Igor Leturia]

  Hi all!

  There's been a lot of answers to my question. Thanks to all! But
there's been a lot of discussion about what I really needed, and I
couldn't answer because I wasn't at work at the time. I'll try to answer
to all the proposals and questions that have arised after my post:

  Thanks for the indication, it will be one of the things I'll try.

  As Max M and Dirk Datzert later pointed out, I need IIS on port 80 for
webmail services.

  No, I've got Microsoft Exchange 2000 installed, and this has got a
webmail server that uses IIS on port 80.

  Sorry, I'm far from being an ISAPI expert...

  Thanks, this will be another one of the things to try.

  Thanks, I will try this combined with Tom P's proposal.

  Yes, I know how to change the IIS port to one different from 80, but I
prefer not to (as I said, we use IIS and Exchange for webmail, and the
addresses would have :81 or something like that), unless we install
Apache as frontend and make the :81 and :8080 transparent.

  Well, thanks to all again. Maybe I'll have some more questions when I
start trying the proposals. ;-)
