Thread: Re-installing Zope on the server
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

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. ;) + Justin > ---- > Marc G.

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, Joshua D. Drake Justin Clift wrote: > Marc G.

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. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > Sincerely, > > Joshua D. Drake

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 ... ---- Marc G.

its no worse then running Tomcat, at least as far as memory foot print is concerned ... in fact, it uses up about 1/3 of the resources, from what I can tell ... On Tue, 5 Oct 2004, Joshua D.

I find that the Zopedb deal is abysmal. Tomcat at least, you can connect to a real database. :) J > > On Tue, 5 Oct 2004, Joshua D.

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? > > J > > >> >> On Tue, 5 Oct 2004, Joshua D.
