plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver 0.5

ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 zeo server

This recipe creates and configures a Zope 2 ZEO server in parts. It also installs a control script, which is like zeoctl, 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:

[zeoserver]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver
zope2-location = /path/to/zope2/install
zeo-address = 8100

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.

zeopack

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

zeo-conf

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

The following options all affect the generated zope.conf.

zeo-address

Give a port for the ZEO server. Defaults to 8100.

effective-user

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

zeo-log

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

file-storage

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

zope-conf-additional

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