	sharing instance_home? by Jürgen Herrmann :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message currently i'm running a single zope2 process with relstorage as storage backend. to improve performance for our end users i'd like to fire up a 2nd zope2 process that will handle all internal background processes and db packing. for simplicity's sake i'd like to share the instance_home directory between these two processes, just use a different config file to enter a different http port for each server. no how can i run 2 zope processes from the same instance home with 2 different config files? modifying $INSTANCE_HOME/zopectl to include a different config file name does not work, as it's also contained in $INSTANCE_HOME/runzope. renaming/modifying runzope does not work either, as it's name is hardcoded somewhere in zopectl. thanks in advance and best regards, jürgen herrmann -- >> XLhost.de - eXperts in Linux hosting ® << XLhost.de GmbH Jürgen Herrmann, Geschäftsführer Boelckestrasse 21, 93051 Regensburg, Germany Geschäftsführer: Volker Geith, Jürgen Herrmann Registriert unter: HRB9918 Umsatzsteuer-Identifikationsnummer: DE245931218 Fon: +49 (0)800 XLHOSTDE [0800 95467833] Fax: +49 (0)800 95467830 WEB: http://www.XLhost.de IRC: #XLhost@... _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@... https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope No cross posts or HTML encoding!

What version of Zope is this? Should be fine, provided the instances are configured to use different pid files, log files, local zodb cache files, etc...

If you are using RelStorage you won't be saving much space by reusing the instance home. I'd be wary of sharing the directory between instances, because 3rd party products sometimes use it to store instance-specific data (e.g. not sharable between 2 zope processes). -- Martijn Pieters _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@... https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope No cross posts or HTML encoding!

That seems pretty evil... Have you got some examples?

That seems pretty evil... Have you got some examples? Why would that be evil? That's what the instance home is for, to store instance-specific data. No examples here.
