Description:

Persistent CGI (PCGI) is an architecture designed by Digital Creations
(http://www.digicool.com) for publishing Web objects as long-running
server processes in order to improve the performance of serving Web
pages. This package is PCGI for use with the Zope application server
and portal toolkit.

It is not necessary for ZServer to actually listen for incoming HTTP
requests. If you want Apache to do the actual listening and serving,
then you can use ZServer's PCGI component to communicate with Apache.

Please note that versions of the Apache Web server prior to 1.3 do not
have a sufficiently implemented rewrite module to provide authentication
for Zope. You'll need to upgrade your Apache if you're using a version
prior to 1.3.
