[Zope] Zope is slow on a windows 2000 server
Hello, I've been using Zope on a Linux box without any problem this last month. I now have to move the Zope server to it's final location, which is a Windows 2000 server (it's not my choice ;-( I am trying to get the user authenticated based on his IP address to allow everybody on the subnet we are here to access the Zope server, but not other IPs. This works fine except it is really slow (about 5 seconds to go to an object to start downloading). I've tried it on a clean Win2k box to check if I had a problem with my configuration, but it didn't change anything. Here are the basic operations I did. First create a local role "test" in / that has the same authorization as anonymous. Then disable any authorization for this Anonymous user. Create a user in acl_user which don't have a password but has a domain entry 192.168.0.* and the role "test". Now when I connect from the 192.168.0. subnet, I have access to the Zope server, but it is very slow to answer. When I add a user that has to log in (password instead of IP check), it goes much faster. I am using Zope 2.2.0 with the built-in Medusa web server. As I am with the Win2000 questions, is there a way to configure IIS to behave like Apache an the rewrite rules? Thank you for your help.

I've tried it on a clean Win2k box to check if I had a problem with my configuration, but it didn't change anything. OK, so let's answer my own email in case somebody comes into the same problem one day. I changed my configuration to use IIS instead of Medusa of the front end. Since then, everything is fine. Now instead of using my.server.com:8080/ , I simply use my.server.com/zope.cgi/. I simply followed the excellent How-to available under http://www.zope.org/Members/brianh/iis_howto. I only had a few problems for the authentication. To be able to use Zope for the authentication, make sure you allow Anonymous login and that you set all the "Custom Errors" of IIS to default. Else you won't be able to log into Zope management screen for example ;-) As I am with the Win2000 questions, is there a way to configure IIS to behave like Apache an the rewrite rules? This is still an open question. By the way, a very interesting site about IIS configuration is http://www.iisfaq.com ;-) Best regards, Gérard Métrailler Jr. Meeting Maker Inc. ... the intelligent choice for collaborative scheduling Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.meetingmaker.com ___ 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 )
