Quick Start
If you are impatient, the following commands should get you up and
running with Zope 2 using ZServer and ZODB 3 on Unix::
python wo_pcgi.py # Note, this mst be Python 1.5.2
python z2.py -d <your dns server>
where you need to supply the IP address of your dns server to the -d
option. If you get errors indicating that addresses are in use,
then you will have to supply arguments to z2.py to change the ports
used for HTTP or FTP. (See the help for the z2.py script by
running z2.py with the -h option.)
You can then connect to Zope 2 by directing your browser to::
http://yourhost:9673/manage
where yourhost is the name or address of the machine running Zope 2.
If you changed the HTTP port with the -w option to z2.py, then use
it rather than 9673.
You will be prompted for a user name and password, which may
be found in the 'access' file in the Zope installation directory.

Zope authentication with existing web servers.
Two ways to support PCGI
There are two ways to handle PCGI requests with Zope.
Using PCGI Publisher
By default, accessing Zope.cgi from your web server will
automatically cause a Python script, pcgi_publisher, to run.
This is a single-threaded application that serves PCGI requests
one at a time. The script will run as whatever user (and with
whatever group) your web server uses to run CGI requests.
Using ZServer
The Zope 2 start script, z2.py will run ZServer and serve PCGI
requests by default. ZServer is a multi-threaded server that
can simultaneously support multiple protocols, including PCGI,
HTTP, and FTP. If Zope is started by root (on Unix) with z2.py,
then the Server will run as nobody, otherwise it will run as
whatever user ran z2.py.
Zope authentication with existing web servers.
Zope normally performs both authentication and authorization of users.
Some web servers don't pass authentication information to CGI scripts.
