Plone and mod_python

Hello

Can some one explain what are the differences between "plone" and "Apache +
mod_python"?

From plone.org. It says "Plone is powerful and flexible. It is ideal as an
intranet
and extranet server" does this mean if I use "plone" I do not need to
install
"Apache + mod_python"? Thanks in advance!

Plone is a content management system (CMS) based on the Content
Management Framework (CMF) based on the Zope web application server
From plone.org. It says "Plone is powerful and flexible. It is ideal as an
intranet
and extranet server" does this mean if I use "plone" I do not need to
install
"Apache + mod_python"?


Plone (in specific Zope) needs a web server to serve HTML pages. You
can use the builtin Medusa for that or Apache for larger environments.
mod_perl enables Apache without Zope to execute Python scripts (CGI).

Plone is a 'portal' type content management system build over Zope and
the CMF. Which means that you need at least Zope to run Plone. Now you
can either choose to run Zope as a standalone web server, or 'hide' it
behind a running Apache server.

In both cases, you won't need mod_python.

Hello Thornsten and Bruno

Thanks very much for the explanations, from your answers, it looks like, it
is better
to use "Plone + Apache". Is this means I need to install Apache, then Plone,
and
configure Apache or Plone to talk to each other?

But under the plone.org downloads it offer a bundle installer for Window XP.
Does
this mean the bundle will use Zope and the built-in Medusa as the web
server? and I
do not need Apache?

Not better, bigger.

You have to configure Apache and Zope to talk to each other.
But under the plone.org downloads it offer a bundle installer for Window XP.

Yes.
and I do not need Apache?


Yes.

"better" depends on your needs !-)

This means that you need to install at least Zope and Plone. If you want
or need to run Zope behind Apache, you'll of course need to install
and configure Apache...

Zope comes with a builtin web server, Medusa, which also exists as a
stand-alone web server. So you don't *need* any other web server.

You *can* run Zope 'behind' Apache, the latter forwarding requests to
the former.

Wether you *want* to run Zope 'standalone' or behind Apache depends on
your needs. We can't make this choice for you !-)

NB : I just don't know what's in the Plone XP package, if Zope is
included or not, but I doubt that it will contain Apache anyway !-)

Plone, CMF, Zope, (internal) Python; and even starts the server
as an XP service.
