As we've got a number of things we'd prefer to keep as is, and run alongside Zope. How much integration do you need? You say "run alongside". is it enough to run Zope and CF behind the same Apache? Apache integrates the two in a single URL namespace, but keeping the application logic separate?

[Zope] CMS/publishing system
Pete asked: How well does Zope integrate applications/cgi's written in ASP, Cold Fusion, Perl, etc...? As we've got a number of things we'd prefer to keep as is, and run alongside Zope. and added: Is it possible? I'm thinking that with Apache and mod_rewrite it would be doable (using file extensions to map the request), but I'm not sure how that might work under IIS or within Zope... Yes, the mod_rewrite approach is a very common way to serve from both Apache and Zope, e.g. static pages / images from Apache, dynamic stuff from Zope. In fact, that's how Zope.org was set up for quite awhile, and may still be (don't know the details). There are many refernces to this topic in the mail list archives. Try searching at : http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html For more intimate integration with existing Perl stuff, see: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-perl/ CMS is the latest buzzword for Web Application Development, AKA WorkFlow, Distributed Applications, etc. Zope is perfectly at home with this paradigm, whatever the nom du jour!

[Zope] CMS/publishing system
[Note: this was also sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Content Management System Mailing List] I'm looking for opinions on Zope being used as a CMS/publishing system. Here's some rough notes on our situation and my thoughts on Zope. We run NT now, but would like the option of migrating to *nix. (Zope runs on both.) We want to deploy across 50+ sites. (Since it's open source, we'd spend our money on customization/development rather than licensing fees.) We'd prefer a browser based administration system. (Zope's already got a very good one.) Some questions I have are: How well does Zope integrate applications/cgi's written in ASP, Cold Fusion, Perl, etc...? As we've got a number of things we'd prefer to keep as is, and run alongside Zope. How does Zope deal with serving virtual domains off of a single NT box? What approach would that require? Zope looks like a really nice platform, any real-world evaluations would be most appreciated... (Besides what I've read on www.zope.org) thanks...

You get better performance and much cleaner solutions (better to maintain and more secure) then any of the mentioned solutions allow. Many things are better done completely different in zope. How does Zope deal with serving virtual domains off of a single NT box? What approach would that require? There are several options. One of it is site-access (product at zope.org) You can also server different instances of zope off the same server (using different ports and apache or squid in front as dispatcher) Zope looks like a really nice platform, any real-world evaluations would be most appreciated... We are currently implementing a light CMS. So stay tuned... ;) Regards Tino Wildenhain ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I'm thinking that with Apache and mod_rewrite it would be doable (using file extensions to map the request), but I'm not sure how that might work under IIS or within Zope... There are some systems in place that are either, large/legacy/developed by others/etc that we can't simply reimplement in Zope... Plus, I'd consider it a big plus for Zope if I could run apps written in other languages/environments without too much of a hassle.
