OK, consider these scenarios. Source install - simplest:: ./configure.py # PREFIX defaults to /usr/local/zope on UNIX # probably C:\\Progra~1\\Zope on Windows make; sudo make install /usr/local/zope/bin/mkzopeinstance.py /var/zope/inst1 /var/zope/inst1/bin/zopectl.py start Looks just like before! Distribution install - most common:: ./configure.py --prefix=/usr \ --skel=/usr/share/zope/skel \ --doc=/usr/share/zope/doc mkzopeinstance.py /var/lib/zope/default ln -s /var/lib/zope/default/etc /etc/zope/default echo -e '[default]\n/var/lib/zope/default' >> /etc/zopectl.conf zopectl.py start default All the above is invoked by ``apt-get install zope``, and the package can use a /etc/init.d/zope to loop through all instances. Multiple pythons, zopes, instances - most complex:: cd Zope-2.7.1 python2.1 configure.py --prefix=/opt/zope271-python21 # ... python2.1 configure.py clean python2.2 configure.py --prefix=/opt/zope271-python22 # ... cd ../Zope-2.7.2 python2.1 configure.py --prefix=/opt/zope272-python21 # ... python2.2 configure.py clean python2.2 configure.py --prefix=/opt/zope272-python22 Then you permute these with: python2.1 /opt/zope271-python21/bin/mkzopeinstance.py \ /var/zope/zope271-python21-instance1 python2.2 /opt/zope271-python22/bin/mkzopeinstance.py \ /var/zope/zope271-python22-instance1 # etc. And you have an installation with all permutations of multiple Pythons, multiple Zopes and multiple instances. Does this alleviate your concerns? ;-) a. -- Adrian van den Dries [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development team www.dev.flow.com.au FLOW Communications Pty.
