plone.recipe.zope2instance 0.7

ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 instance

This recipe creates and configures a Zope 2 instance in parts. It also installs a control script, which is like zopectl, in the bin/ directory. The name of the control script is the the name of the part in buildout.

You can use it with a part like this:

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
zope2-location = /path/to/zope2/install
user = admin:admin
http-address = 8080
eggs = ${buildout:eggs} my.package
products = ${buildout:directory}/products
zcml = my.package

The available options are:

zope2-location

The path where Zope 2 is installed. If you are also using the plone.recipe.zope2install recipe, and you have that configured as a part called ‘zope2’ prior to the zope2instance part, you can use ${zope2:location} for this parameter.

zope-conf

A relative or absolute path to a zope.conf file. If this is not given, a zope.conf will be generated based on the the options below.

repozo

The path to the repozo.py backup script. A wrapper for this will be generated in bin/repozo, which sets up the appropriate environment for running this. Defaults to “${zope2-location}/utilities/ZODBTools/repozo.py”. Set this to an empty value if you do not want this script to be generated.

The following options all affect the generated zope.conf.

products

A list of paths where Zope 2 products are installed. The first path takes precedence in case the same product is found in more than one directory.

zcml

Install ZCML slugs for the packages listed, separated by whitespace.

debug-mode

Set to ‘on’ to turn on debug mode in Zope. Defaults to ‘off’.

verbose-security

Set to ‘on’ to turn on verbose security (and switch to the Python security implementation). Defaults to ‘off’ (and the C security implementation).

effective-user

The name of the effective user for the Zope process. Defaults to not setting an effective user.

http-address

Give a port for the HTTP server. Defaults to 8080.

event-log

The filename of the event log. Defaults to var/log/${partname}.log

z2-log

The filename for the Z2 access log. Defaults to var/log/${partname}-Z2.log.

file-storage

The filename where the ZODB data file will be stored. Defaults to var/filestorage/Data.fs.

zeo-client

Set to ‘on’ to make this instance a ZEO client. In this case, setting the zeo-address option is required, and the file-storage option has no effect. To set up a ZEO server, you can use the plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver recipe. Defaults to ‘off’.

zeo-address

Set the address of the ZEO server. Defaults to 8100.

zodb-cache-size

Set the ZODB cache size, i.e. the number of objects which the ZODB cache will try to hold. Defaults to 2000.

zeo-client-cache-size

Set the size of the ZEO client cache. Defaults to ‘30MB’.

zope-conf-additional

Give additional lines to zope.conf. Make sure you indent any lines aftter the one with the parameter.
