[Zope] Newbie needs help

[Marc Scheib]

Hi Experts,

sorry for bothering you with my you with my question - I have read only 
rough pieces of the Zope documentation, but my problem affects Zope 
only in a very limited context:

I am responsible to prepare a server for the (academic) presentation of 
an internet-application running on a tomcat servlet container. One of 
the included frameworks (the Open Source Flash-Remoting Service 
'OpenAMF') is still in a very early development state, and I could not 
persuade it to function properly on a port different to 8080, Tomcats 
default port.

Unfortunately there is another Web-application deployed to this server 
(by another academic group, which is currently unavailable): Zope has 
currently the port 8080 tied to its services.

Since I do not know anything about the Zope applications architecture 
or even installation I am asking you for advice on how to disable Zopes 
service temporarily.

I could imagine to 'simply' change the Zope port for the next two 
weeks, but i guess for an expert arise even more and surely more 
intelligent ideas.

My ideal solution would limit changes to comments on one or two lines 
of code in a 'reusable' manner. Of course I could sudo kill zope-*.py 
and change tomcats config towards 8080, but that way I had to screw 
around with obfuscated bash.sh scripts. Isn't there a way that is far 
more obvious to roll back for the Zope-teams administrator after my 
presentation?

Again sorry for not studying the documentation extensively.. I hope 
very much you have a recommendation for me.

Thank you in advance,
Marc Scheib
