I am using Ape 0.7.1 with Python 2.3.2 and Zope 2.7.0 on RH Linux 9.. No problems 
other than trying to store an ldapUserFolder. I have a workaround from shane but I 
haven't tried it since I had refactored my site to remove the problem.

But it works for me.

Put Ape into 2.7.0/lib/python/Products  (it cannot be in an INSTANCE_HOME Products 
directory)


Ape has a file called "component.xml" that tells you what to do for 2.7::

To use this, first add the following line near the top of
Zope/Startup/zopeschema.xml:

  <import package="Products.Ape"/>


Then add to zope.conf:

<ape-db fs>
  <ape-storage>
    mapper-variation filesystem
    <ape-fs-connection fs>
      basepath $INSTANCE/var/myfs
    </ape-fs-connection>
  </ape-storage>
  mount-point /fs
  scan-interval 10
</ape-db>

Then start up Zope, and "Add A ZODB Mount Point" via ZMI. I don't know if it matters 
where you "add the mount point", it seems to use what's in zope.conf for the path 
anyway.
