[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Separate staging and development areas for a product

[Graham King]

Well, really, you should have 3 machines, probably on separate LANs:

Devt - usually on a corporate private LAN, not externally accessible.

QA - on production LAN - machine config should be identical to your
production one (so should Devt but that doesn't always happen).

Prod - external LAN, and not accessible by developers.

(this is Engineering practice, not just IT).

I took the liberty of moving this thread to zope, as it's
probably better suited for that ML ...

I do this using one machine for development and another
for production.  ZSQL Methods can be kept in different
folders for Dev/Prod, but External Methods would require
different modules for this, which will get hairy if you have
many EM's.  I think two machines is best, two Zope's is
next (using INSTANCE_HOME), and a naming convention
is next (Production_EM.py vs. Development_EM.py).

To get that, you need to instantiate your product.  Within the
ZMI, use the "Add .." dropdown menu and create a new instance
of the "myproj" method in the Root folder.  Then your URL
will work.
