ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 instance
Project description
plone.recipe.zope2instance
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
Options
- 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. This defaults to ‘utf-8’.
- 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.
- 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’.
- 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.
- 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 after the one with the parameter.

Change History
1.1
Small documentation update. Added link to the bugtracker. [hannosch]
Changed default of zope.conf option ‘default-zpublisher-encoding’ to ‘utf-8’ instead of Zope’s default value of ‘iso-8859-15’.
Have PID file’s location default to ‘${buildout:directory}/var/${name}.pid’. Keeping the PID file in $INSTANCE_HOME gives trouble when buildout rebuilds the part. [nouri, mustapha]
1.0
Increased ‘zodb_cache_size’ default value to 5000, which is more likely a better default these days. [hannosch]
Added support for ‘extra-paths’ as in ‘zc.recipe.egg’; this is useful when using regular python packages for which no eggs are available (yet), i.e. with ‘plone.recipe.distros’. [witsch]
Added zeo-storage option (merge branch ree-add-zeo-storage-option). [ree]
Avoid doubled entries to eggs specified in the buildout in ‘sys.path’: the working set (‘ws’) gets passed again when installing the script (‘bin/instance’), but it is not also added to ‘extra_paths’. [witsch]
Patching ‘PYTHONPATH’ in the Zope startup skripts should insert all additional paths (to eggs) __before__ ‘SOFTWARE_HOME’, because otherwise (newer) egg versions of components from the standard Zope distribution (i.e. stuff that lives in ‘lib/python’) cannot be used. [witsch]
Changed the option to suppress deprecation warnings to “–nowarn” or ‘–nowarning” to be consistent with “zopectl test”. [witsch]
Added option “-w” to allow the test runner to suppress deprecation warnings, so it’s easier to spot failing tests… [witsch]
Updated import for Zope 2.7 (and below) compatibility. [duffyd]
Merging -r51966:52659 claytron-zopeconfoptions branch to trunk. [claytron]
Made the config snippet prettier while still getting the resulting indentation right. [witsch]
0.9
Added support for zodb 3.8’s “<blobstorage>” directive. [witsch]
Added a script name arg before callint zope.testing.testrunner.run. zope.testing.testrunner:1772, get_options removes the first arg from the list of arguments expecting a script name there. Was causing “bin/instance test” to behave improperly. [rossp]
0.8
Use bin if present falling back to utilities. This makes it possible to use a Zope version installed from a tarball and not compiled inplace. [rossp]
0.7
Found the problem with strange environment variables. [hannosch]
Fixed documentation bug, the cache size is respected by non-zeo instance as well. [hannosch]
0.6
J1m actually read the docs ;) [hannosch]
Attempt to fix the sometimes insane number of tests which are found by the test runner. [hannosch]
0.5
Added an option to set the effective-user. [optilude]
0.4
Generate a bin/repozo script to perform backups using repozo.py (and set up the appropriate pythonpath for this to work). [optilude]
Document options properly, and add the ability to specify a zope.conf file explicitly rather than having one generated from a template. [optilude]
0.3
Finally found a way to provide the Zope Windows service with the right environment. We need a new wrapper script, which sets up the PYTHONPATH. [hannosch]
Make it possible to configure the name of the zopectl script using the control-script option in the [instance] section. [wichert]
0.2
Extend support for zcml slugs to include Zope 2.9. [dunny]
Added support for making a ZEO-client. [regebro]
0.1
Initial implementation. [hannosch]
