Zope's Zope.cgi missing

95se · 10-03-2006, 12:36 PM

I am trying to follow DevShed's "Using Zope with Apache" to get Zope working w/ Apache, but the Zope.cgi file is mysteriously absent. Is this file not included in Zope 2.9.4 or am I missing something? I've looked at all the files Zope comes w/, and none seem to suggest they should be used as a CGI. Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Looking at that page, it appears that it is about serving up Apache content with Zope.

Perhaps you could look at Plone, which is basically a user friendly frontend for Zope. I use it on my site, with good success.

I'm actually working my way up to Plone

The organization I work for has been creating a quick prototype site (for internal use) w/ Plone on Windows, but would like to move it to something a little more dedicated before they do more. I would like to have Apache, not Zope's built-in web server, serve up the content, but it's not an absolute necessity. Nonetheless, I'm still looking for help if someone knows what's going on

OK, I figured it out. You can configure Zope (via .../etc/zope.conf) to create a unix-domain socket for fast-cgi (Zope runs as a server and handles the fast-cgi requests through this), then just use the FastCgiExternalServer directive to use to socket created by Zope.
