[Zope-dev] 2nd Zope Instance

2002-06-13 Thread William Trenker
I appreciate the good advice I got here on starting a 2nd instance of Zope using a separate INSTANCE_HOME folder and a different HTTP port. That works great! Now I'm wondering where I can get a bare-bones copy of the data.fs file for the 2nd instance without having to re-install Zope using

[Zope-dev] Testing Zope Products with Python Debugger

Re: [Zope-dev] PHP vs Zope cost benefit

2002-04-23 Thread William Trenker
I have only minor experience with PHP so this may be ignorant, but isn't programming a web application with PHP scripts more comparable to programming such an application with Python scripts? If PHP scripts are handling HTTP requests directly, that can also be done with pure Python scripts.
