Eek! - can't have that!

Ok, all our current work is done on Solaris using Zserver with an Apache
front-end using Virtual host monsters (what a name!). You could run your
Zope server on port 80 using Zserver only, thus avoiding PCGI - there's lots
of info on running windows servers as services on the mailing lists. The VHM
stuff is very flexible (as is SiteAccess) and may be able to help.

I've found this setup to be very stable (PCGI gave me the same kind of
errors you're seeing - but it was a while ago)

This is a very old Zope, you could try the 2.3.0 type releases (very stable,
runs with 1.5.2 python - the 2.4.x Zopes, although more feature laden, do
have stability problems - and they are not trivial to fix). I'm sure Oleg
might mention using FCGI :) - but I have no experience of it.

I'm sorry Steven, I don't remember *any* of these kind of errors from PCGI.
