ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 instance

Project description

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-server = 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 to be set up. 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).

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. This is currently only set for ZEO storages. 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.
