Using Zope With Apache - Zip Zap Zoom (Page 7 of 7 )
In the event that all of this configuration and recompilation is not toyour taste, there is a far simpler option available to you. The niceguys at Zope.org have created a pre-compiled, pre-configured packagethat's designed to simplify Apache/Zope integration - it's called Zap("Zope plus Apache in precompiled form") and it's available for freedownload from
http://www.zope.org/Download/Releases/Zap-1.1.0This pre-compiled package comes with its own custom "httpd.conf" file,designed specifically to get the server up and running with Zope. Itcontains binary versions of both Apache and Zope, and is a breeze to setup and install, so long as there isn't any mismatch between your systemlibraries and the precompiled binaries in the Zap distribution. Check itout, if only to get a better idea of how to configure Apache to workwith Zope.
And that's about it for the moment. Whatever you've learned in thistutorial is just the tip of the iceberg - there's a lot more you can dowith the Apache/Zope combination, including running multiple Zope-basedvirtual hosts and replacing Zope's built-in authentication scheme withApache's HTTP authentication system. I'll be talking about those itemsin a follow-up piece soon - so stay tuned!
