</div></div>As someone who has never used grok, but would like to be able to install<br>
grok-built applications, I'd feel most comfortable if those applications<br>
were 'standard' wsgi components, just like the other wsgi applications<br>
I already run (trac, paste, repoze and one day plone). These most likely<br>
run under apache mod_wsgi. There is a tutorial here,<br>
<a href="http://grok.zope.org/documentation/tutorial/installing-and-setting-up-grok-under-mod-wsgi/" target="_blank">http://grok.zope.org/documentation/tutorial/installing-and-setting-up-grok-under-mod-wsgi/</a><br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, the only drawback to using mod_wsgi compared to<br>
proxying is that there is no way to provide session affinity. Useful<br>
when you want the zodb cache to be relevant.<br></blockquote><div><br>(Un)fortunately I don't care much about WSGI :-)<br><br>Andreas <br></div></div>
