Russel,
we do install our zope/plone instances in a simmilar way you did.
in addition to the steps you described we the do the following
- make Zope-2.7 and Zope-2.8 a softlink to the respective source
directory and then create the instances from
the Zope-2.X/bin directory. the mkzope/zeoinstance scripts create
startupscripts with hardcoded paths.
With ZopeX a softlink you can easily make updates to minor new zope
releases for all your instances
- in the zopeusers homedirectory we have a Products directory where we
have all the products installed.
In the instances/Product folders we then link to them. Again we have
Plone-1/2/2.1 links pointing to
the respective Releases, so we can make minor Plone updates without
hassle.

Folks,
First post from a real newbie, I have currently got Zope installed under a
test server and would like to ensure that I get things right for our
production environment. Being a complete newbie to Zope I would like to be
sure I am doing things right and understood the numerous articles I have
read, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Currently, I made a user account; zopeuser , I installed Zope via this
account and I can access the management interface without issues and managed
to get a Plone installation working with mod_rewrite mod_proxy via apache
(we have a cPanel dedicated server). However, I think I may have made some
fundamental administration or poor practice errors.
When I compiled Zope, my source is in the same directory as my final
instance, is this a security issue or at least poor practice, is there a
better way to do this? If, so could someone point me in the right procedural
direction to install Zope.
I shall be uninstalling the instance I have, so a fresh install will be
completed for the production instance. We are planning on running several
Plone instances for different domain web-sites, so that each site can be
managed separately by each different department.
Does anybody know of any issues that we are likely to bump in to running
Zope under a cPanel based server, to date I have manually added Plone
accounts in the httpd.conf but will also be adding a few standard cPanel
Apache based domains through the control panel as well, in time.
Thanks for your thoughts, I am learning still and hopefully learning
quickly, so hopefully my very basic questions will reduce over a short
period of time grin.
Regards,
Russ Winter
