Hi Christopher,

Great pointers, thank you very much for your response!

I use pound for load balancing (from the beginning - nothing changed here).

I will investigate using your indications.

Thanks again,
Dragos

Re: [Zope] ZEO manageUndo not working - DisconnectedError

2015-05-06 Thread Sebastian Tänzer
Good morning all,

after further testing we noticed our Zope2 virtualenv setup was done with the 
ZMS3 (CMS) install routine using pip install ZMS3 --process-dependency-links. 
This installed different package versions.

The original pip Zope2 uses these versions: http://pastebin.com/ZEwhVba0
The ZMS3 people use these versions: http://pastebin.com/iu43Ss5w

For example, the ZMS3 setup uses:

• ZopeUndo==4.0
• ZODB==4.1.0
• ZODB3==3.11.0

as the original Zope2 uses:

• ZODB3==3.10.5

No ZEO, no ZODB packages.

Why is Zope2 using the old 3.10 ZODB version and why is there no ZODB4 
installed? ZEO server and clients still work fine without these packages.

The thing is, I notice a lot worse performance with the ZODB, especially with 
traversal, using the native Zope2 setup routine. Catalog search takes almost 
2-3 seconds compared to the ZMS3 versions with a local non-ZEO-Zope instance. 
With the ZMS3 versions ZODB usage is a LOT faster, but there are problems with 
Undo for example in combination with ZEO.

Any ideas on this? I don’t get this version jungle...

Best
Sebastian

Re: [Zope] ZEO manageUndo not working - DisconnectedError

2015-05-06 Thread Sebastian Tänzer
After more „research“ I see that the ZMS3 pip packages uses completely 
different versions that don’t seem to be compatible with ZEO (at least Undo is 
not working). I’m aware „undo“ is not a really used feature at all as revisions 
most of the time are beeing implemented by products. My only fear is that we’re 
running into other problems with the ZODB if the base setup is using wrong 
versions and I’d like to avoid that.

Examples:

zope2 via pip uses Aquisition 2.13.8
zope2 via ZMS3 installed via pip uses Aquisition 4.1

zope2 via pip uses ZopeUndo 2.12.0
zope2 via ZMS3 installed via pip uses ZopeUndo 4.0

Most packages with ZMS3 install are newer versions.

So, basic question: What is the recommended way to setup Zope2 with ZEO. Which 
versions work? It seems almost impossible to understand what versions should be 
used. The Zope2 egg uses way older versions. Any problems with that? Which 
packages are safe to update?

Also, there were some patches by the ZMS people last year 
(https://github.com/zopefoundation/Zope/pull/13) - but Zope2 installed via pip 
works just fine here.
Using newer package versions require the patches though.

What is the „best“ setup if I’m using ZEO to connect with Zope2 ZEO clients AND 
from other remote setups (non Zope-Clients, Python command line code working 
with the ZODB via ClientStorage).

Maybe Tres could give me some insight on this?

Best,
Sebastian

After further testing I was able to sort this one out by downgrading ZopeUndo

PyPi only said 4.0 brought Py3 compability. Should I expect any problems using

Undo has long been a standard functionality in Zope2 but proven to be
quite dangerous as it is possible to totally mess up your object
tree.

IIRC undo has therefore been removed even from the ZODB - that is
what you are experiencing with the current version.

What seems to work quite well is to enable history support where you
have access to every old transaction and can compare or copy them
to be on top of the stack - which avoids the problem with disappearing
transactions as Undo has.

Unfortunately out of the box only a few Products have history support
enabled. Some monkey patching can enable it for many of the other
Products of stock Zope2. ObjectManager/Folder is a bit limited
since accessing a whole historic version of a subtree can't be done
easily. However, if you are interested and want to try:

http://old.zope.org/Members/tino/PatchHistory/view

(very old, but seems to work with the 2.12 at least)

Best,
Tino


Best, Sebastian

[Zope] Zeo scaling question

2010-12-21 Thread Small, James
Hello,

I am working on a solution that has a very high number of users and a 
significant amount of traffic.  Using a zeo configuration we have been running 
into a few bottle necks while trying to improve our load testing results.  The 
problem we see is if that put our Zeo Configuration under load that Zope does 
not close the connections and the application server ends up running out of 
connections for Apache to connect to.  The connections once opened idle 
indefinitely.  (Apache is running on a dedicated server different from our Zeo 
instances).  We are using RR between 2 vm instances using 10 zeo clients per vm 
to distribute load.  The bottleneck is occurring on the Apache server because 
it's keeping TCP connections in time_wait status.

We have completed load tests on both Windows 2003 and 2008.  In 2003 we were 
able to adjust the registry so the OS would terminate connections after 15 
seconds of idle, however in 2008 the minimum is 30 seconds.  In the upper 
levels of testing the OS runs out of TCP connections because it can't close 
them fast enough and it begins to fail requests.  Ideally we don't want to 
close connections forcibly via the tcp stack because Zope keeps them open.  
We'd hope that Zope would manage this clean up gracefully.

One option we are considering is using IIS7.5 and ARR as a replacement load 
balancing/rewrite method.  This could allow us to check health of destinations 
prior to forwarding a request.  It may also give us more control over closing 
connections at the OS level.

One other detail we think might be the issue is that Zope is not initiating the 
close connection event.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge they can lend to help out?

Configuration:
Windows 2003/2008 server
Apache 2.1
Zope 2.12
MS SQL 2005
Python 2.6.6
SQLAlchemy 0.6.5
sqlalchemy version is 0.6.5
and z3c.sqlalchemy=1.4.0
zope.sqlalchemy=0.6

[Zope] zeo cache-size tuning - number of obj. vs MB

2010-01-06 Thread Gaute Amundsen
Hi

What's the difference between the to cache-size settings here?
I've not been able to find a good description to guide me in finding the
right values.

zodb_db main
  mount-point /
  cache-size 1  1.
  zeoclient
server foo:9080
storage main   
name zeostorage  
var $INSTANCE/var
cache-size 20MB  2.
  /zeoclient
/zodb_db

As far as I've been able to determine, the second one 2. refers to a
separate cache at the zeo connection level.

Running 9 zeo clients (2.7.9) like this on a frontend with 4G ram,
varnish, apache, and haproxy. Tethering on the edge of too much
swapping. Needing to cut down..

Would it be better to spend all the memory on 1?
Is there a good way to find a balance?

Regards

Gaute Amundsen

The ZEO client cache is a disk-based cache, separate from the RAM-based
cache used by any ZODB connection.  It doesn't use RAM, per se, except
for an in-memory index of OID - (layer, offset).

 Running 9 zeo clients (2.7.9) like this on a frontend with 4G ram,
 varnish, apache, and haproxy. Tethering on the edge of too much

Assuming you are running with the default number of worker threads
(4):  1 objects in the cache * 4 active connections per appserver *
9 appservers means you are caching 360,000 objects in RAM.  If they are
putting you into swap, then you are averaging something like 10Kb per
object, which is pretty big.

 Would it be better to spend all the memory on 1?
 Is there a good way to find a balance?

I think I might cut down on the number of appservers on that host, if it
truly is hitting swap.  Or trim the number of threads per appserver down
from 4 to 2 or 3.

Sorry, forgot to mention: 1 thread per appserver.
Otherwise there's not much use in haproxy's load balancing we figured.

Meory usage as reported by munin is avg. 160M, max ~220M
and backend loads/stores are about 1000/10 a minute avg. 
and iowait at 45% avg today.
committed memory 3.7G avg.

This little oneliner for summing VSZ:
ps auxf | grep zope | awk  '{total+=$5} END{print total}'
reports: 
1918552 for zope
1489768 for varnish
2270732 for www-data

And for RSS
1375908 zope
 177200 varnsih
 374624 www-data


in addition to the 9, that includes one appserver with 6 therads/6
obs and one with 1 therad/2 for developers and robots respectively.


  Would it be better to spend all the memory on 1?
  Is there a good way to find a balance?
 
 I think I might cut down on the number of appservers on that host, if it
 truly is hitting swap.  Or trim the number of threads per appserver down

 What would happen if set too small or too large?

If it is too small, your app will have to go across the net too often to
fetch an object's state from the ZEO server.  If it is too large, then
recovering after the client disconnects from the ZEO server can take a
very long time.

 Assuming you are running with the default number of worker threads
 (4):  1 objects in the cache * 4 active connections per appserver *
 9 appservers means you are caching 360,000 objects in RAM.  If they are
 putting you into swap, then you are averaging something like 10Kb per
 object, which is pretty big.
 
 Sorry, forgot to mention: 1 thread per appserver.
 Otherwise there's not much use in haproxy's load balancing we figured.

I would probably test that assumption.  One rule of thumb I use is one
appserver process per CPU, and then tune number of threads / connection
cache size until the machine stays just out of swap.

 Meory usage as reported by munin is avg. 160M, max ~220M
 and backend loads/stores are about 1000/10 a minute avg. 
 and iowait at 45% avg today.
 committed memory 3.7G avg.
 
 This little oneliner for summing VSZ:
 ps auxf | grep zope | awk  '{total+=$5} END{print total}'
 reports: 
 1918552 for zope
 1489768 for varnish
 2270732 for www-data
 
 And for RSS
 1375908 zope
  177200 varnsih
  374624 www-data
 
 
 in addition to the 9, that includes one appserver with 6 therads/6
 obs and one with 1 therad/2 for developers and robots respectively.

Nothing jumps out at me:  I might look at pushing varnish or apache off
onto another machine, maybe.

 I think I might cut down on the number of appservers on that host, if it
 truly is hitting swap.  Or trim the number of threads per appserver down
 from 4 to 2 or 3.
 
 Problem is we run out of them way to often now, and get 503's from
 haproxy. I just added another 3 in fact..

If your proxy is timing you out, then maybe you need to look at more
hardware, or elas spend some time profiling the application and trimming
out unnecessary work there.

[Zope] ZEO configuration question ...

2008-09-19 Thread Analog Kid
Hi All:

I have a zeo setup which has one zeo server (say s1) and 5 zeo clients (say
c1 through c5). All of these clients share a single Data.fs. Now, I need a
zeo server (say s2) between just some of the zeo clients (say c1 and c2).
all of these instances should share just one Dafa.fs file. Is this
configuration possible/feasible. Any alternatives?

Thanks for your time.

It is possible to mount a second storage at a given point within the
main storage used by the database:  the standard zope.conf, for
instance, sets this up for the session data::

 zodb_db temporary
# Temporary storage database (for sessions)
temporarystorage
  name temporary storage for sessioning
/temporarystorage
mount-point /temp_folder
container-class Products.TemporaryFolder.TemporaryContainer
 /zodb_db

You can do the same thing in your two special clients, setting up a
mount for the private storage.

One caveat is that you will have to add a mount point object (an
instance of 'Products.ZODBMountPoint.MountedObject.MountedObject') in
the main part of your database at the path pointed to by 'mount-point'
in the configuration.  The other clients will see the empty mount
point, but won't be able to traverse into it, because they won't be
configured with the stanza that actually creates the mount.

HTH,


Tres.

I think there is no general rule. E.g. we are running a production cluster
with 10 ZEO clients where two or three nodes  care about long-running 
requests (like document checkin/checkouts). All other clients deal with the 
standard request. With this approach we can have different configurations 
for the number of threads and cache-size. The balancing is done based on 
patterns where we identify the long-running requests through a pattern with 
the URL.

[Zope] ZEO clusters on a single box

2008-08-12 Thread Jean Jordaan
Hi there

We have a server running many ZEO clusters (many more than the number of
CPUs, of course). Each cluster consists of a master and two clients.

Would it make sense to run both clients and spread requests across them?

Or would it be better to just increase the number of threads of a single

for failover if the first client needs to be restarted?

Would it ever make sense to have *more* than 2 clients per master, in
this scenario (many more processes than CPUs)?

So far, I've had the following response to my questions:


[...] at every zope/plone conference there are people who claim that
adding more threads makes no difference and that you should rather add
more zeo clients, but my CS background says more threads can share
memory and perform better. But for zope it seems that each threads
maintains it's own cache anyway, so there is little memory sharing going
on. You may as well run 10 clients with one thread each rather than one
client with 10 threads, it would make little difference other than the
overhead for the extra process, which is less than 100MB.

I'm a little disappointed in zope's memory usage patterns. It doesn't
really matter how much memory you have or what sorts of limits you
impose, it seems zope always uses more and more until it consumes about
1GB of swap and starts killing the box. So you need to monitor RAM usage
with nagios or something and restart the instance every so often.

On some of our managed machines we restart zope about once an hour
because of this. That just doesn't make good sense, you kill your cache
every time.


RTFM with pointers most appreciated.

[Zope] zeo configuration HOWTO

I'm trying to find more documentation about all the configuration parameters
for a zeo.conf

Namely, I have a zope with multiple zodb's and mount points. I am trying to
learn how to migration a single zope instance with multiple mounts into zeo.
One thing I don't understand is temporary storage. If I have

zodb_db temporary
# Temporary storage database (for sessions)
temporarystorage
  name temporary storage for sessioning
/temporarystorage
mount-point /temp_folder
container-class Products.TemporaryFolder.TemporaryContainer
/zodb_db

in zope.conf -- how do and transfer that into zeo.conf and modify the
zope.conf to properly understand.

specifically, do I put 'container-class' in zeo.conf ?

Also, in zope.conf what do 'server', 'storage', 'name', and 'client' map to
in zeo.conf? There must be a more detail descriptions of how to configure
zeo somewhere.

[Zope] Zope Zeo Performance

2008-03-14 Thread FuBuJo
Hello. I've thumbed through the list for Zope Zeo performance issues similar to
mine - but have found a lot of conflicting information - so I thought I'd ask
(and keep reading and experimenting).

Zope - 2.7.x (Zeo) Apache 2.x Zope is using Plone (2.0.x)

Basically I have a high traffic (high performance) Apache - Zeo - Zope(ZODB)
setup. 10 Apache/Zeo boxes - and one big old Zope/ZODB box. The equipment is
high end DELLs (well as of 3 years ago) - all running FreeBSD (we tried Red Hat
but it blows up - but thats another post).

Anywho - if your still reading thanks.  We know Plone and code is a major issue
- and we are working on a migration plan to 3.  But it the meantime ...

The traffic is heavy write traffic (I read some of Dieters posts and am testing
that out as well). Once overall load hits about 100 people or so the Zeo's start
dying - heavy load, slow response, python takes all CPU/Memory.  Then when
traffic is removed from the ZEO instance ... the system remains CPU bound by the
python process ... and you have to bounce Zope(Zeo instance) and Apache to free
it.

The ZODB reports heavy Clients waiting ... but doesn't budge on load.

So ... anyone have any suggestions.

I can throw 10 more Apache/Zeo instances as it - but not sure if that's the
right approach. So I guess here's my questions.

1. Is there a Zeo Client limit you can have when connecting to a Zope(Zeo
Server) instance? 2. Are there any special setting to allow for 'many' Zeo
clients connecting to Zeo server? 3. Are there any 'tweak' on the Zeo Client
side or the Zeo Server side that I should consider? I've reviewed quite a bit on
confirguration ... but nothing seems to really make a difference. 4. Anyone have
any special 'high performance' tricks / tips they can point me to?

I'll continue to read and research ... but any information would be helpful.

Thanks -FuBuJo

2008-03-14 Thread Dieter Maurer
FuBuJo wrote at 2008-3-14 13:31 +:

You need to be a bit more careful in your description.

For example the diagram Apache - Zeo - Zope(ZODB) is
very confusing. It is very rare that Apache speaks to Zeo.

The confusion between Zope and Zeo may go straight through your
description such that it is often unclear whether you really
mean Zope when you write Zope and Zeo when you write Zeo.

More below.

 ...
The traffic is heavy write traffic (I read some of Dieters posts and am testing
that out as well). Once overall load hits about 100 people or so the Zeo's 
start
dying

Here again, you use a wrong word: dying would mean that your ZEO
process terminates but below to say that it gets slower.

- heavy load, slow response, python takes all CPU/Memory.

Which python? The python executing Zeo? Or the one executing Zope?

 Then when
traffic is removed from the ZEO instance ... the system remains CPU bound by 
the
python process ... and you have to bounce Zope(Zeo instance) and Apache to free
it.

Which system? The one running ZEO (the ZEO server) or the one running
Zope?


The ZODB reports heavy Clients waiting ... but doesn't budge on load.
You see this in the ZEO logfile?
Then, it is ZEO which reports the waiting -- not the ZODB.


So ... anyone have any suggestions.

We are having similar problems -- I call them commit congestions.

As far as we understand it by now, it is a multiple cause problem.
Commit congestions can be caused on the client (=Zope) side and on the
server (=ZEO) side.


A client drastically increases the probability for commit congestions
when he does expensive things while he helds the commit lock, i.e.
during the second phase of the two phase commit protocol.
We have identified three causes:

  *  garbage collections

 During a garbage collection the garbage collector holds
 the GIL and blocks all Python activity.
 We found that a single generation 2 (i.e. full) garbage
 collection can take between 10 and 20 s.
 We had a bad text index implementation
 that caused excessive object creation and thereby lots
 of garbage collections.

 Our measure has been to drop the bad index implementation
 and reconfigure the garbage collector to reduce the
 garbage collection frequency by a factor of 1000

  *  stats in the second commit phase.

 In our system, stats for NFS served files could take up to
 27 s. It is a complete mystery why. Local IO, too, occasionally
 seemed to need excessive time. This, too, is still mysterious.
 We may have some hints: some ranking bugs in a search engine
 could cause millions of IO operations within a short timeframe
 and may have significantly affected the Linux IO behaviour.

  *  invalidation message reception and correspondng client cache updates
 during the second commit phase


Other causes for commit contention come from the (Zeo) server:

  *  FileStorage.pack unnecessarily holds the commit lock
 during large periods of the copying phase, drastically
 increasing the probability for commit contentions

  *  during some pack phase (reachability analysis),
 access to the storage file is high volume and erratic.
 This drastically reduces the performance of the storage
 and make commit contentions likely.

  *  other heavy use of the file system can affect the IO performance
 available for storage access and can increase the
 likelyhood for commit contentions.

I can throw 10 more Apache/Zeo instances as it - but not sure if that's the
right approach.

It is not. Commit contention is a synchronization problem.
It does not go away but is likely to increase when you scale
your frontends up.

So I guess here's my questions.

1. Is there a Zeo Client limit you can have when connecting to a Zope(Zeo
Server) instance?

There is no limit in principle -- but as you can see,
lots of clients can affect performance.

Invalidation message processing poses a load on the server
which grows linearly with the number of clients (each client
must get all invalidations).

Most other Zeo load contributions are more dependent on the actual
number of requested operations (reads, writes, commits)
and less on the number of clients that request these operation
(of cause, more clients can generated more requests).

2. Are there any special setting to allow for 'many' Zeo
clients connecting to Zeo server?

Reconfigure the Python garbage collector such that it runs far
less often.

Get rid of components that (unnecessarily) create lots of Python objects.

Check whether you do unnecessary operations during the second commit
phase.

Place your ZODB storage files intelligently in the file system
such that other high volume IO operations do not badly affect
IO on the storage.

[Zope] Re: Zope Zeo Performance

2008-03-14 Thread FuBuJo
I apologize that my description was so confusing.
I appreciate the feedback and so would like to clarify.

The diagram is how the traffic flows.  So we have:
Step 1 - a Load Balancer that passes traffic to Apache

Step 2 - Apache which uses mod_proxy to obfuscate the URL and proxies traffic to
the Zeo Client

Step 3 - the Zeo Client (residing on the same physical box as Apache) that then
forwards the traffic to the Zeo Server

Step 4- the Zeo Server that runs on its own box and writes to the ZODB.


I thought putting Apache in front of Zope was very common (using VirtualHost
Monster) - guess not. 

As for versions:
FreeBSD 5.3
Python 2.3.5
Zope 2.7


The load on the Zeo Server is minuscule.
The load on the Zeo Client(s) gets very large.

It's the python process on the Zeo Client that grows large and seems to become
unresponsive. Possibly due to the Transaction blocking being reported in the
Zeo Severs log.  Strangely disconnecting the Zeo Client from the Server while
the Zeo Client is locked rarely gives the ... disconnected during
transaction error message that I expected to see more of.

Hope that clears up things for anyone else who'd like to chime in.

Dieter - As for your suggestions. Thanks so much!
I will certainly begin to investigate and pursue each.  They seem very good
things to do - just in general. I appreciate the input. I'll let the list knows
how everything works out.

I do notice that there was no mention of any general (config file) configuration
techniques (increasing threads, cache objects, etc. etc.) --- is configuration
not really that big of a performance boost?

Thanks again for the direction.

Usually -- but of course not always.

If you use and start ZEO from a Zope installation,
then lib/python needs to be on PYTHONPATH such that
ZEO finds its code and supporting packages.
Then the content of lib/python/Products can be used
normally as package Products. There is no magic needed for this.

Of course, you can start ZEO from a non Zope installation (e.g.
from a standalone ZEO installation) and then Zope's Products
will be unavailable

Dieter,

Apologies for jumping late in this thread but how precisely should  
App.FindHomes be imported?


And a related question.  Any suggestions on how to support multiple  
product directories like a non-zeo config?  I checked already and  
zeo.conf doesn't appear to support the products directive.

[Zope] Don't use Solaris for Zope/ZEO!

2007-12-04 Thread Dieter Maurer
Occasionally, someone asks whether Solaris is an adequate platform
for Zope/ZEO deployment.

Up to now, I answered to those questions -- we are using Solaris
in our backend and up to now we did not see problems.

This changed a few days ago -- we met an incredible limitation
in Solaris: the number of File streams is limited to 256
in 32 bit applications This limitation caused us ZEO restarts
once or twice a day since several days (with a completely
stupid error message EAGAIN from fdopen).


The problem is described in
http://blogs.sun.com/mandalika/entry/solaris_workaround_to_stdio_s


Don't use Solaris for Zope/ZEO, unless your are willing to
deploy it as a 64 bit application (which we will try with our ZEO)
or you are using at least Solaris 10 update 4.


Watch out for EAGAIN exceptions from fdopen or
other file creation functions. They indicate that Solaris
has hit its 256 File limit

Re: [Zope] ZEO clients going zombie

2007-04-10 Thread Dieter Maurer
Bengt Giger wrote at 2007-4-10 15:36 +0200:
with our new ZEO client systems, we frequently observe this problem:

a ZEO process starts to use 100% CPU time (user) without a significant
increase of requests. Sometimes (but not always) the process stops answering
requests, still using 100% CPU.

When we kill such a process, it changes to zombie state (shown in top as 'Z'
and 'defunct'), still using 100% CPU, but now its system time, not user. The
HTTP port is still in use, so we have to reboot this node to restart the ZEO
client. This usually fails because some filesystems cannot be unmouted, there
are still files locked.

I tried both start modes, runzope and zopectl, but no difference.

All that is in opposition of what I know about zombie processes, they should
use no CPU time.

I may have seen a similar problem (though I am not sure about the details):

  The problem was a buggy Python signal handling together with
  a doubtful Linux thread implementation (2.4 kernel).

  When a fatal signal occured, the signal killed the main thread
  but all other threads were in a strange state. Only a SIGKILL
  could get them out of this state. Of course, the ports
  remained open although nobody serviced them.

  I am not sure whether the threads were in zombie state or used
  CPU. Probably not.

[Zope] Zeo Client Hanging Unresponsive

2007-02-23 Thread Paul Williams
I have posted this several times, but have not until now been able to
get DeadlockDebugger installed.  

 

zope 2.9.5 + zeo
pythonm2.4.3
Red Hat RHEL 4
Plone 2.5.1
 
Our zeo clients hang intermittently.  We have no way of reproducing the 
problem, but it occurs daily.  The client hangs and a restart seems to
fix the 
problem.
 
In the event log with tracing on we get
 
Trace zeo.zrpc.Connection(C) wait(16697) {server:8100} pending, async=0
 
There are hundreds to thousands of these until the server is restarted.
 
In the zeo log we get
 
Error caught in asyncor asyncore.py
 
error:(110,'Connection timed out')
 
We have been trying to track this down and have had no luck.  Does
anyone have 
any suggestions?  Below is our deadlock debugger output

[Zope] Re: zope/zeo on multiprocessor machines?

cristopher pierson ewing, on 2007-01-23:
 I've been told that zope is not set up to utilize the extra processing 
 power of multiproc machines.  I have a new intel x-serve with the 
 dual-core dual-proc setup, and want to get the most I can out of zope. 
 I've read a few articles that mention running more than one zope process 
 as zeo clients sharing a single ZODB.  What isn't mentioned is any 
 additional seetup needed to ensure that each zeo client uses a separate 
 processor.  Is there any?  Or is this automagically handled?

A site we (Zest Software) made for a big customer runs on a dual-core
server, with some multithreading so it seems like there are 4
processors.  With one zeo client, only at most 25 percent of the
processing power was used.  We added a few zeo clients and saw the
processor a lot more active, probably approaching 100 % when all
clients are fully active.  A big improvement, with no additional setup
that I am aware of.  So it is automagically handled, yes.

You can use taskset on Linux (schedutils package). However it is somewhat 
a mistry about the overhead when you don't tie a process to a particular 
CPU. The current Linux scheduler tries to keep long-running processes on 
the same CPU instead of migrating them from one CPU to another one. The 
basic

rule: 1 CPU per major process (ZEO client, ZEO server etc).

Ola,
thx maciej and Jonathan...your answers have helped a lot

Each zope instance can access multiple ZODB's (as Maciej mentions

and a local zodb which is specific to the zope instance.


auaua...i didn't know that ;)...this is really cool. Now the inevitable 
question - 'Is there any documentation about how to set this up ?'
Maybe I just define another zodb_db in my zope.conf and mount it into 
a folder like maciej said and just customize this folder.
What i need to do is just create a custom skin on each zope instance to 
show that it is Manaus,Belem or wherever serving the information but 
have the same global content shown in each instance. From what you have 
said it seems this should be possible with a bit of tweaking



Zope is very flexible!  You just need to build a configuration which 
meets your use case!

To set up multiple mount points you need to edit your zope.conf (to 
configure the various mount points), then you need to Add 'ZODB Mount Point' 
via the ZMI at the appropriate location (note: this is for zope 2.7+). You 
can google for 'zodb mount points' if you need more info.

You can easily do this by changing the 'display' routines on each zope 
instance.  Another method I have used is to set up URL subdomains for each 
'different' entry point and then use Apache rewriting to automagically 
redirect the user to the correct location within the zope instance (ie. a 
different folder for each subdomain) - this allows you to have each zope 
instance be a real 'copy' (and not have to maintain different versions), but 
it depends on your use case as to which method is most appropriate for you!

[Zope] Zeo question

2006-12-12 Thread ian

Hi,
Hope you can help
1. I am having trouble connecting a zope client to a zeo database.The 
server and client are in different goegraphical locations and behind 
different proxies and firewalls. I read that they communicate using a 
'custom RPC protocol'...what does this mean and does it have any 
influence on which firewall/proxy rules we need to implement on our 
network??
2. I can create a custom skin on each zope (in reality plone) instance 
right or is each zope instance is just a mirror of the other?

thx

Re: [Zope] Zeo question

2006-12-12 Thread Maciej Wisniowski
 2. I can create a custom skin on each zope (in reality plone) instance
 right or is each zope instance is just a mirror of the other?
Nope. It is something different. In general ZEO is about sharing ZODB
(Zope Object Database) between few Zope instances. There is no mirroring
but just one ZODB. ZODB is a place where all objects you have created
through ZMI (Zope Management Interface) are hold.

When you have standard setup (one Zope instance)
it has it's own ZODB (you may see this in instance/var/data.fs.

With ZEO you have ZEOServer that holds ZODB (data.fs file) and multiple
ZEO Clients that are connecting to it. ZEOClient is a normal
ZopeInstance that is not using it's own data.fs (ZODB) but shared one.

Because of this, every object created/changed/removed on one ZEOClient
is removed from shared ZODB therefore all ZEOClient see this.

There is more things that can be done. You may for example define (in
zope.conf) mount points for folders that are individual for each zope etc.

You could store all objects in a shared zodb, even objects which are 
specific to a single zope instance (and control access via permissions, 
application logic, etc). And you can create objects in a local zodb  (which 
would only be accessible by the local zope instance).


Zope is very flexible!  You just need to build a configuration which meets 
your use case!

Re: [Zope] Zeo Client hanging

2006-10-18 Thread Allen Schmidt Sr.
I see references to asyncore.py near the end of the thread listing when 
using DeadLockDebugger and seeing a stuck thread process. The tread 
eventually clears out but sometimes an impatient user reloads, reloads, 
reloads...and then all 4 threads are stuck on exact same thing. Then you 
can see the same URL jump to the other Zope/ZEO client and same thing 
happens there. Another few reloads and one user has effectively crashed 
the siteuntil the threads clear themselves out. Usually is a catalog 
search for a news article or something spanning our 6 years of online 
news articles searching on the word 'bob' or something like that.


+1 for DeadlockDebugger... love it.

If you mean having zope commit a single transaction to multiple storages,

No, that's not true. ZRS is used to create hot read-only or stand-by
copies of a ZEO server (and all storages within such a server are
copied).

One ZEO server can deal with multiple storages just fine. Transactions
involving multiple storages commit just fine.


First off, does this make any sense? Is it worth pursuing?


I think so.

I would think, but do not know for sure, that transactions only
involving one storage should not delay transactions involving other
storages.


Secondly, I
assume that where an object is stored does not limit what other objects it
can access in a transaction (e.g. object A could add a property to object
B if they were in different storages) because all changes would occur in a
client. (this ties into the single transaction committing to multiple
storages)


You assume correctly.

Note that a stock Zope install already runs multiple storages; one for
Session data (tempstorage) and one for all other data.


Lastly, any thoughts on how we could split up our existing data.fs file?
One thought I had was to attempt to import/export data.


Either before or after upgrading to 2.9 (probably best after to take
advantage of the more robust ZODB), export and import.

Caveat: You buy nothing by having a single ZEO process serve several  
ZODBs when you're trying to decrease commit times. You should run a  
ZEO process per ZODB you're serving out, that way the writes can be  
segregated and parallelized. That also makes it easier to move  
processes/databases around disks/hosts to spread I/O load.

Yes and No!

Yes: a single zeo server can deal with multiple storages (ie. a storage can 
contain mount points to other storages)


Yes: if a single transaction creates/modifies multiple objects and each of 
those objects is stored in a different storage (all storages 'served up' by 
a single zeo server), then the single transaction will commit those objects 
to their respective storages with no problem. (however, there are little/no 
performance improvements in this scenario)


No:  if a single transaction creates/modifies a single object, that single 
object can not be stored over multiple storages (ie. you cannot achieve RAID 
'disk striping' type of performance improvements)



However, that being said there may be some improvement, if the application 
is disk-bound, by giving each storage its own disk subsystem (never tried 
this myself, but it may buy some small performance improvement).  For the 
cost/effort involved I would stick to having a single zeo server 'serve up' 
a single storage, and have each zeo server on its own hardware platform 
(much more scalable, easy to implement).

I didn't say that the storage 'knew' anything about mount points.  I simply 
stated that a storage can contain mount points to other storages (storages 
contain objects, if one of those objects happens to be a mount point to 
another storage the storage containing the 'mount point' object doesn't 
care).


So the wording is not misleading (if the storage doesn't contain the mount 
point object, where is it stored?)

First off, does this make any sense?

I makes sense and we do it successfully with our large editorial
system.


However, ensure that each storage is self contained data wise:

  e.g. do not put data in one storage and have them catalogued
  in a different one.

Otherwise, selective backup of individual storages will introduce
inconsistencies.

Is it worth pursuing?

Yes.

Secondly, I

 That's misleading wording, a storage knows nothing at all about   
 mounts. The storage server can't do anything except for reading  
 from  and writing to ZODB databases. Mounting is a client concept  
 only.

 P.S.  Or is the mount point  totally controlled by zope.conf and  
 nothing relating to the 'mount point' is stored in the storage?

You got it.

I am not sure about the most recent Zope/ZODB versions.

But, up to Zope 2.8/ZODB 3.4, Jonathan was right:

  Beside configuration, there have been MountPoint objects
  in the ZODB that handled the mounting magic.

  While not completely impossible, I would be very surprised if the need
  for MountPoint objects were dropped in newer Zope versions...

[Zope] ZEO with Multiple Storages

2006-09-13 Thread Brian Brinegar
We currently have a ZEO environment with FileStorage (data.fs) over 100 
gigs, which continues to grow. Currently we are approaching a major 
hardware and software upgrade. All new hardware and moving from Zope 2.6 
to Zope 2.9.


Our server hosts sites for several different schools and departments 
within our college, what I have considered doing is trying to split up 
the data.fs into multiple smaller storages, possibly one per school. I 
suspect if this is possible it could potentially have several benefits. 
The first being that we would not have to deal with 100 gig files which 
are very difficult to move around backup/restore, etc. Secondly, we 
often have a very large number of users updating content at a given time 
and will run into slowdowns where a transaction is blocked while another 
commits. I hope that multiple storages could allow for a transaction to 
commit to one storage at the same time as another, though I am not sure. 
Along this line can a single transaction commit to multiple storages?


First off, does this make any sense? Is it worth pursuing? Secondly, I 
assume that where an object is stored does not limit what other objects 
it can access in a transaction (e.g. object A could add a property to 
object B if they were in different storages) because all changes would 
occur in a client. (this ties into the single transaction committing to 
multiple storages)


If this does makes sense is there any documentation, recommendations, 
best practices for how to set something like this up?


Lastly, any thoughts on how we could split up our existing data.fs file? 
One thought I had was to attempt to import/export data.

If you mean having zope commit a single transaction to multiple storages, 
then 'vanilla' zope won't do it (Zope Corp has a commercial product called 
ZRS which does this type of thing).


Alternatively, if your server is disk-bound then you could look into RAID 
disk striping to try to improve performance.



First off, does this make any sense? Is it worth pursuing? Secondly, I

Lastly, any thoughts on how we could split up our existing data.fs file?

If you have the time and hardware you could easily set up several zeo 
servers on different 'back-end' hardware servers (ie. put each zeo server on 
its on computer) to improve performance, increase reliability/robustness, 
etc.  Your 'use case' in which you have different schools and departments 
would lend itself to this kind of distribution (put the biggest/heaviest 
users on their own servers, group together smaller/lighter users on shared 
servers).


You just need to define a mount point (in zope.conf) for each different zeo 
server (and set up each zeo server of course).


If you already have the data for the various schools  depts stored in 
separate folders, it would be easy to export each 'school' folder and then 
import it into the new configuration.

[Zope] ZEO Problem

2006-09-02 Thread beno

Hi;
I'm reading the Plone book. It states that for Zope 2.7 (I have 2.78) 
ZEO is built in by default but must be instantiated thus:


cd /opt/Zope-2/7/bin
./mkzeoinstance /var/zeo

or some such code. So I tried this:

cd /usr/local/zope/278/bin
./mkzeoinstance.py ../../instance2/var/zeo

where 278 is my installation, instance2 is a Zope instance (I have 3), 
and mkzeoinstance.py is the command that works (mkzeoinstance by itself 
doesn't print anything to screen other than a command failed message). 
The Plone book then states that I must move Data.fs into the new 
/zeo/var dir, which I did. Everything seems to go well. If I start Zope 
using runzope I get this output at the tail end:


--
2006-09-02T13:15:35 INFO(0) Zope Ready to handle requests

However, if I try to log into the ZMI my passwords don't work. I even 
tried creating an emergencyuser and that didn't work, either. What to 
do? Also, should I move these other files into the new zeo/var dir?


Data.fs.index   
Data.fs.lock
Data.fs.old  
Data.fs.tmp 

I tried that, also, with negative results, but it seems to me that if 
I'm moving Data.fs I should move these others as well.

TIA,
beno

This will tell you that your zeo client is connected to the zeo server

Also, should I move these other files into the new zeo/var dir?


Data.fs.index   Data.fs.lockData.fs.old 
Data.fs.tmp


All you need is Data.fs.

Data.fs.index will be recreated if it is not found when zope starts
Data.fs.old is created when you pack your zodb
You can safely ignore the .lock and .tmp files (they are created by Zope as 
needed)

You need to make sure that the entry in your zeo client config file

eg

zeoclient

 This one was a very quick one only 30 seconds. I have Blocked Transaktion
 that ware waiting for more than 2 minutes.
 
 This means that you have very long transactions -- transactions that
 take very long to commit.

 ZEO cannot commit two transactions for the same storage at the same time.
 Therefore, it sets a storage look when a transaction commit begins for
 the storage.
 
 If another transaction tries to commit to the same storage, the transaction
 is blocked until the first transaction commit completes.
 That's your Transaction blocked waiting for storage
 
 When the commit is completed, then a waiting transaction is restarted.
 That's your Blocked transaction restarted.
 
 You should try to understand where the huge transactions come from.
 Very often, they are caused by poor persistency design (either far
 too huge objects or an immense number of tine objects or just some stupidity
 (e.g. writing objects unnecessary).

I have benchmarked my Harddisk (which is at the moment an emergency system
because of a hardware failure of the main system) it has 40 MB/sec write 
speed and it doesn't show high io load when we have such a hangup. I have 
tried to create an object with 50 MB in the storage the ZEO server had no 
problem with that. calculating this, there has to be an objekt of CD Image size
to cause the write to take more then 30 sec. But this whould 
mean that the Data.fs whould grow at least a 2-3 Gig a Day (we have 5-6 
such hangups a day) but it only grows arround 50-100 MB a per Day
(difference befor and after Pack) and real growth is 2-10 MB per Day. 

To the number of tiny objects. I have the zeo.log on debug level. Entries 
like these seam to be the objekts that are requested to be written.  

2006-08-08T07:44:12 DEBUG ZEO.zrpc.Connection(S) (10.152.64.21:50210) calling 
storea('\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0057\x85', '\x03gZW\x00\xa0\xa1\xcc', '(...

I don't see a lot of them bevor a hangup occur. 

So there are two areas where the Problem could be located. The filesystem
of the host system and in the network between the App-Server and the Zeo. 

To understand this can you tell me when a transaction is started and when 
its closed. Does the Zeo server wait until all data is recieved bevor the 
transaction is started or does the transaktion start when the datatransfer
from the appserver starts.

This one was a very quick one only 30 seconds. I have Blocked Transaktion
that ware waiting for more than 2 minutes.

When there a 9 Clients waiting our complete Zopesite comes to a halt until
the transaction is restarted.

As im not realy deep in the ZODB/ZEO subject. Can anybody pinpoint me where
to look for the Problem.

This means that you have very long transactions -- transactions that
take very long to commit.

ZEO cannot commit two transactions for the same storage at the same time.
Therefore, it sets a storage look when a transaction commit begins for
the storage.

If another transaction tries to commit to the same storage, the transaction
is blocked until the first transaction commit completes.
That's your Transaction blocked waiting for storage

When the commit is completed, then a waiting transaction is restarted.
That's your Blocked transaction restarted.

You should try to understand where the huge transactions come from.
Very often, they are caused by poor persistency design (either far
too huge objects or an immense number of tine objects or just some stupidity
(e.g. writing objects unnecessary).

 You will gain nothing -- as ZEO does not implement a cache
 but forwards any request immediately to the storage.
 Its only task is to synchronize concurrent access to a single
 storage -- nothing else.

For my primary goal this whould do perfectly. Primarily I whan't the

Why would you want to use a ZEO server just for this relaying?

Would it not be better to use a DNS name which you could remap
at a central place (the DNS configuration) in case of problems?

Or use a TCP forwarder.


A ZEO server is definitely not appropriate just to relay requests.

[Zope] Zeo as a Zeo Client

2006-05-02 Thread Gerhard Schmidt
Hallo, 

I am trying to install a setup like shown below 

ZEO_M 
 | -- ZEO_B
 | | -- ZOPE
 | | -- ZOPE
 | | -- ZOPE
 | ...
 | -- ZOPE
 | -- ZOPE 
 ...

The ZEO_B should be a zeoclient of the ZEO_M (MainZEO). The reason for
this setup ist that the ZEO_B is located in a backup computing center on 
the other side of our campus.

When I configured the ZEO_B as a zeoclient of the ZEO_M. I comes up 
without problem. I've connected the first client, the connection is 
establisched but the server never come up. 

Here is the log from ZEO_B level debug

You are trying to create a cascade of multiple ZEO Clients? That looks
very odd. Usually a ZEO client talks directly to a ZEO server.

 You are trying to create a cascade of multiple ZEO Clients? That looks

I try to reduce the load of the line between the backup Computing Center 
and the Mainsite by having a zeo server as Proxy between the zope server 
at the backup site an the ZEO at the main site. 

Secound part is that the zeo at the backupsite can easily reconfigured in 
a normal ZEO when the mainsite is offline. So I don't have to reconfigure 
all zeoclients at the backupsite. The Data.fs is copied  every hour to the 
backup site so that a have an up to one our backup of the data.fs in case 
of a desaster at the main site. 

A configuration like that is described in the Zope Book on page 230. 

Besides I have found that with a growing number of zeo clients the Zeo 
server gets slower but neither the CPU nor the Harddisk IO is at the limit. 
We have a load of 0.2 to 0.3 and disk IO arrond 2-3 MB/sec. We have 12 
zeoclients at the moment and 12 more are planed for the backup site.

I can not see anything like that in the Zope Book 2.7 edition. As said
a ZEO client talks to a *ZEO server* and *not* to another *ZEO client*.
Anything else makes no sense. When you're look for HA solution then 
checkout ZRS (see on zope.com).

As Andreas mentioned, the (commercial) ZRS product from Zope Corp  
will give the the hot backup/hot standby you seem to look for. All  
backup ZEO servers can be accessed by clients, but read-only.

[Zope] ZEO ClientDisconnected error

2006-05-01 Thread Cyrille Bonnet

Hi there,

One of my clients is using Plone on Solaris 9. We have set up one ZEO 
client on a Solaris machine and a ZEO server on another Solaris machine 
(for testing purposes only at this stage).


Performance is great but every morning, the first hit to the Plone site 
returns a ClientDisconnected error (see full error log below). It looks 
like the socket on the server gets corrupted or something.


When the error occurs, the server is non-responsive for a while 
(anywhere between 10 sec and 2 minutes) and then eventually the server 
responds.


Has anybody seen that before? Is it Zope related or should I look in 
other directions?


Researching Zope on Solaris, I read somewhere (can't remember where now) 
that Solaris doesn't like long-running processes too much (well, the 
Zope process, for instance). Could it be the culprit here?


Any advise or pointer welcome.

Cyrille

best approach to get more information to localize the failure.

A crash presented to Zope as a fatal signal (usually SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS).

Reconfigure your Linux account running Zope to write
core files (ulimit -Sc 10). With a bit of luck
you will get a core file written in case of such crashes.
Look into the core with GDB. Note, that the value 10
might not be big enough to get a complete core file.
GDB may have problems to really understand incomplete ones.

Arh...
I forgot that internal logging levels override.
Still, you'd think something that triggers a crash would have a level
higher than info.  Careful examination of the trace log shows nothing.
I'll fix the log level  see if that turns anything up.

[Zope] ZEO disconnects, Zope auto restarts (via zopectl)

2006-02-03 Thread Dennis Allison

Zope 2.9.0

We are seeing spontaneous restarts of Zope with no indication in any of 
the standard Zope logs.  Looking at the ZEO log indicates that the 
restarts of Zope are due to a lost connection between Zope  ZEO but 
with no other information.  The logging level is set at the distribution 
default (INFO).

The restarts are a huge problem because session variables are not
persistent and so all of the user state they contain is lost on restart.
In our statful implementation, this is a major problem.  I want to adjust 
the configuration so that the Zope/ZEO connection is stable.
  
In our configuration, Zope and ZEO are linked via localhost on a
distinguished port.

I've Googled about looking for some infomation about tuning the ZEO/Zope 
interface, but have found little real information.   Some additional log
detail would be helpful.

We are running a fairly vanilla setup, excerpted below:

zope.conf
# ZEO client storage:
#
zodb_db main
  mount-point /
  # ZODB cache, in number of objects
  cache-size 5000
  zeoclient
server localhost:8301
storage 1
var $INSTANCE/var
# ZEO client cache, in bytes
cache-size 20MB
# Uncomment to have a persistent disk cache
client group1-zeo
  /zeoclient
/zodb_db

zeo.conf
zeo
  address localhost:8301
  read-only false
  invalidation-queue-size 100
  pid-filename $INSTANCE/var/ZEO.pid
  # monitor-address PORT
  # transaction-timeout SECONDS
/zeo

runner
  program $INSTANCE/bin/runzeo
  socket-name $INSTANCE/etc/zeo.zdsock
  daemon true
  forever false
  backoff-limit 10
  exit-codes 0, 2
  directory $INSTANCE
  default-to-interactive true
  # user zope
  python /usr/bin/python2.4
  zdrun /usr/local/src/zope/Zope2.9/lib64/python/zdaemon/zdrun.py

  # This logfile should match the one in the zeo.conf file.
  # It is used by zdctl's logtail command, zdrun/zdctl doesn't write it.
  logfile $INSTANCE/log/zeo.log
/runner

It's not clear what changes will lead to a more stable connection because 
it is not clear what's triggering the problem.  Any advice would be 
appreciated.

Presumably the shotgun approach would work -- increase the cache sizes, 
lengthen the invalidation-queue-size, and increase the backoff-limit but 
it would be nice to have some guidance.

Are you *sure* that is the cause, rather than the effect?  

If zope restarts for any reason, I'd expect the zeo log to 
show a disconnect and reconnect as a result.

Check the clocks on your zope and zeo boxes and make sure the timing of
events in your logs is really what you think it is.  (Systems that
aren't running ntpd are the bane of my existence...)

Wild guess: Any chance your Zope process is running out of
memory?  I've had that on several occasions, when some
naively-written software attempts to do something huge in
memory that should really use a temp file on disk.
(Zope itself used to have some code like that in the FTP
server, don't know if it still does.)

I discovered this by looking  in /var/log/messages.
At least on linux, the kernel will log something there
when it kills a process that consumes all available memory.

 We are running a fairly vanilla setup, excerpted below:
 
 zope.conf
 # ZEO client storage:
 #
 zodb_db main

 storage 1
 var $INSTANCE/var
 # ZEO client cache, in bytes
 cache-size 20MB

Unrelated to your problem, and maybe you know this, but depending on the
size of your storage, I'd consider increasing the zeo client cache size.
It's a disk cache and you can safely make it huge.  But if you don't see
cache flipping messages in your event log, it may not matter.

 # Uncomment to have a persistent disk cache

No, I am not and there's nothing in the logs which hints at why
it restarted.  We are running under load.  The failures are 
silent.  We do have a fairly high rate of conflict errors (which 
all get resolved finally!).

Timing correlates to the second.  Zope and ZEO live on the 
same physical box.

I doubt if I am hitting a limit.  The box has nearly 8GB of

OK.  Do you have more than one ZEO client?  If not,
I'd reevaluate whether you need ZEO at all.
(It's great for zopectl debug on a live system, but otherwise it does
nothing but add overhead if you're not using it to run multiple
Zopes. But you probably knew that.)

OK. It should be pretty obvious if you were hitting a limit.
I don't think it's possible on linux to run out of memory without the
kernel complaining somewhere in /var/log.

Well, as I said, it's very unlikely to have any impact on
your problem. 

If I were in your shoes the first thing I'd do is bump up the log levels
on both zope and zeo to BLATHER.  Adds overhead I know, but you need to find 
the problem somehow... it's a weird one, I've never seen zope
restart for no reason.

This can be a symptom of a segfault if you've got zope running under  
a daemon manager like zopectl/zdaemon/supervisord.

I see that ZEO supports a simple digest authenitcation of clients and that this 
is set in the zeo's config file with the keys: authentication-protocol, 
authentication-database and authentication-realm.

Further, I can see that a client can connect using e.g. ZEO.ClientStorage with 
arguments for a userid  password (set in the ZEO authentication database).  
However, how does one configure Zope (as a client to the ZEO server) to use this 
authentication?  I see nothing in the Zope config file.  Somehow Zope must be able 
to pass a valid userid and password in the authentication database to ZEO.


The best place to ask these questions is the zodb-dev@zope.org mailing

Thanks!  Works great.

I found that you can generate the encrypted password with 
Lib/python/ZEO/zeopasswd.py

I wish there was a better solution than having the cleartext password in the

Hi Dave,

this might help, although it's not written by me so I'm not 100% sure that

[Zope] ZEO client authentication

2005-10-03 Thread Mika, David P (Research)
I see that ZEO supports a simple digest authenitcation of clients and that this 
is set in the zeo's config file with the keys: authentication-protocol, 
authentication-database and authentication-realm.

Further, I can see that a client can connect using e.g. ZEO.ClientStorage with 
arguments for a userid  password (set in the ZEO authentication database).  
However, how does one configure Zope (as a client to the ZEO server) to use 
this authentication?  I see nothing in the Zope config file.  Somehow Zope must 
be able to pass a valid userid and password in the authentication database to 
ZEO.

Re: [Zope] ZEO clients eating up / filesystem

Perhaps your FS grows because ZEO write the cache files to /tmp (which is 
on your root filesystem)?

No I checked that. Nothing in /tmp (and that would have been listed by 
lsof)

[Zope] ZEO on Windows

2005-08-24 Thread michael nt milne
Hi


Does anyone know if the 2.0.5 windows release of Plone includes ZEO? Is there any configuration information on this? Also does Zope 2.8 for linux have ZEO as standard.

Finally, if you don't run ZEO does this mean that Zope can only handle one request at a time?

Thanks

Do you have installed it?

Then see whether the Zope part contains the folder ZEO
(usually in lib/python). If it does, then it contains ZEO.

Also does Zope 2.8 for linux 
have ZEO as standard.

Yes, I think so. Again: install and check whether the ZEO part is
there.

 Finally, if you don't run ZEO does this mean that Zope can only handle one 
request at a time?

No.

It only does mean that a single process can access your ZODB data.

A standard Zope process has 4 worker threads that can execute requests
in parallel.

Note, however, that even when you run on a multi-processor maschine,
the various Python threads may not be able to truely run
in parallel (a single process allows only a single thread to execute
Python code; other threads may wait on something external or execute
non Python (e.g. C) code, but they cannot execute Python code
truely in parallel).

All versions of Zope at and after 2.7 include ZEO, and regardless of
platform (Linux, Windows, Solaris, ..., doesn't matter).

Dunno what you mean.
