Actually, for the record, the 2.1.2 OS X Installer was put together
to be consistent with previous versions of the installer, built by
Tyrell. If you have feedback or concerns about the installer,
please contact the good folks at Tyrell and voice your concerns
there, not here.
And If you have feedback on what a "proper" OS X installer would
be, I would be happy to hear it : )
Best regards,

p.s. No offense taken
O.K., I retract that statement. But I have had several e-mails with
you concerning this, and you've pretty much stated you have no
intention of taking action on any of them. As I see it, the
installer needs to be changed as follows:
1) Pone2 should be installed to /Library, not /Applications. That is
where Apple has installed, Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, and WebObjects.
That fairly clearly shows that to be the location server software
should reside.
2) Make the Default site and other sites not require separate rewrite
rules. If for some reason this can not be done, clearly document the
need. In the several e-mail exchanges we had where had the same
issue the original creator of this thread had, you never once
mentioned that separate rewrite rules would be needed. It was only
through trying every possible combination of rewrite rule and VHM
location that I finally got it to work. I use Apache2, not Apache1
on my server, so that may be why Daniel saw a slight difference.
3) Allow for ZOE. The documentation I have read states that ZOE is
the preferred means of Zope communicating with ZODB. And al least on
of the products I want to use requires ZODB, as it has an external
process writing into ZODB; this is only allowed with ZOE.
There is much to like about the installer, and I do prefer using it
over manual install. I actually tried manual install, but ZODB
became corrupted after only one day of use. As this has not happened
with the installer Plone, I'll stick with the installer. The
installer makes it easy to add additional sites to the system, other
than #2 above. The script provided for this is a good thing.
Installing external Python products works in most cases, with the
provided script installing it into the special structure created by
the installer. I had one case where the installer did not work for
this, but did not troubleshoot to determine why. It was a ctags
product which was a bit old.
Anyway. I do appreciate Kamal's efforts with the installer. I do
realize how much work such things can take. Thanks Kamal.
