Suppose I start out with a single, standalone Zope server, and later realize
I want to utilize the scaling capacity of ZEO. Here's how I would naively
assume this would work:
1. Setup ZEO on another server (I know theoretically I can have ZEO on the
same server).
2. Start ZEO.
3. Stop Zope on ths standalone server.
4. Backup Data.fs, place a copy on the ZEO server.
5. Place a custom_zodb.py in the INSTANCE_HOME folder of the standalone
Zope server; the custom_zodb.py points to the ZEO server.
6. Start Zope on the previously standalone server.
Is that all there is to it? I'd be able to answer this question myself if I
could get ZEO running. In the meantime, I'd very much appreciate any
insights into this seemingly common use case.
Thanks,
