Running Zope under Zeus

This note describes the configuration of Zeus and Zope that allows access to the ZMI without Medusa.

We want to create easy access to the ZMI at http://zopedev.vasudevaservice.com. This requires Zope to be available on port 80.
Since Zeus controls port 80 on our server, it is necessary to configure Zeus to give access to the ZMI. This how-to describes the steps taken to do this under Zope 2.7.0 and Zeus 4.2 on Linux.
  1. Establish an IP address for zopedev.vasudevaservice.com.
  2. Configure zope.conf to listen on fcgi on port 7777. Edit the fast-cgi element to read as follows. 
    <fast-cgi>
  address 7777
</fast-cgi>
  3. Create a virtual server named zopedev.vasudevaservice.com Config Summary: 
      Comment         development Zope instance 
  Host name       zopedev.vasudevaservice.com 
  Port            80 
  Document root   /home/vasudevaservice.com/public_html 
  Webmaster email mail@vasudevaservice.com 
  DNS lookup      yes 
  Error log file  /home/vasudevaservice.com/devlogs/errors.txt 
  Aliases
  Bind address
  Bind port
  SSL enabled     no
    FastCGI Remote Responder: 
      Requests for /
  are mapped to localhost:7777
    htaccess Support: 
      Enabled
  Global access file: /home/vasudevaservice.com/devlogs/global.htaccess
    Access Users and Access Groups: 
      Users and groups are stored in an internal database. 
  Create a user named admin (name doesn't matter);
  specify no password.
    Restricting Access: 
      Enabled
  Top Rule: Enabled; Deny "/" to GET|PUT|POST for Any Valid User
  Bottom Rule: Enabled; Allow "/" to GET|PUT|POST Only These 
  Users: admin 
  (REALM=ZEUS_RULE, for debugging...)
    Commit these changes to the virtual server.
  4. Create logging area
    • Create /home/vasudevaservice.com/devlogs/
    • Create /home/vasudevaservice.com/devlogs/global.htaccess with content: 
      <Location />
PassEnvAuthorization on
</Location>
    • Make sure the directory and file above have full permissions for the owner
      of /home/vasudevaservice.com/.
  5. Start the virtual server
  6. Start Zope
  7. Browse to http://zopedev.vasudevaservice.com/manage
    If all is well, you will be prompted for the username and password for "Zope"
    at zopedev.vasudevaservice.com Enter these as usual, and you enter the ZMI.
  8. Finally, create a custom index_html login page and a Cookie Crumbler. Now you can browse to http://zopedev.vasudevaservice.com when logging in.
