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-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.

extra-paths

A list of paths where additional python packages are installed. The paths are searched in the given order after all egg and products paths.

default-zpublisher-encoding

This controls what character set is used to encode unicode data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding. Zope defaults to iso-8859-15

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.

ip-address

The default IP address on which Zope’s various server protocol implementations will listen for requests. If this is unset, Zope will listen on all IP addresses supported by the machine. This directive can be overridden on a per-server basis in the servers section. Defaults to not setting an ip-address.

port-base

Offset applied to the port numbers used for ZServer configurations. For example, if the http-server port is 8080 and the port-base is 1000, the HTTP server will listen on port 9080. This makes it easy to change the complete set of ports used by a Zope server process. Zope defaults to 0.

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

event-log-level

Set the level of the console output for the event log. Level may be any of CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, or ALL. Defaults to INFO

z2-log

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

z2-log-level

Set the log level for the access log. Level may be any of CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, or ALL. Defaults to WARN

file-storage

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

blob-storage

The name of the directory where the ZODB blob data will be stored.

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 5000.

zeo-client-cache-size

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

zeo-storage

Set the name of the ZEO storage. Defaults to ‘1’.

zserver-threads

Specify the number of threads that Zope’s ZServer web server will use to service requests. You shouldn’t change this unless you know what you are doing. Zope’s default is 4.

zope-conf-additional

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