Thread: Re-installing Zope on the server

Re-installing Zope on the server

From

Hi all,

Pablo has taken a look at the Zope instance on the server, and reckon's
it's best if we reinstall Zope on it.

He'll make sure we don't lose any data too.

Is that ok with everyone?

Btw - He's new to FreeBSD, so we might have to give him pointers for things.

Actually, I wonder if it's easy for Marc to setup a duplicate VM for him
to practise in first?  :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Assuming that yolu aren't giving him root, and he's starting from scratch
... why?

I'm actually concerned in that I think I may have to give him root in
order to install stuff (not sure), and giving root to an inexperienced
FreeBSD user on a "production" server isn't always that bright an idea.

Hello,

New to the list but it is my experience that Zope takes quite a bit of
resources. Is there any reason why we are using it?

Sincerely,

Yep, it's a legacy system that we'd like to move off of, but we don't
have time to do that yet.

At present there are some bits of it that are broken, so this
re-installation is a "quick fix" move to unbreak things.

Aha!.. Yeah we use Plone2 here at CMD for a small Intranet, but only
becuase we couldn't find anything better at the time.
I would like to see what happens with FrameWerk.

Anything he would need to install, that would require root, ask me first
... if I can put it on the template, all that much better ...

its no worse then running Tomcat, at least as far as memory foot print is

I find that the Zopedb deal is abysmal. Tomcat at least, you can connect
to a real database. :)

I'm not sure how that whole thing works ... I know that for those clients
that I have using it, they are connecting to a database backend, but does
that somehow "tunnel" through the Data.fs file?
