paleorthid Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Is Plone not workable on TCH? Most recent info I found was this. Which bits (Python?), keep Plone from working on TCH? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 OK, I did a quick check on the Plone site so I may be off a bit but it looks like you need shell access to use this. As shell is not available on a shared account you would not be able to install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Plone runs on top of Zope. The combination is not recommended for a shared hosting account due to the resources it needs to run. The author's themselves recommend a dedicated server: When setting up Plone, what kind of server is recommended? The first thing to remember is that Plone is not an "I want to host my weblog" or "I simply need a web forum" kind of product. It is a complex (but easy-to-use and extend) system which demands quite a lot from the server. It's more like an operating system than an application, to use an analogy. Therefore, if you are just looking to solve a simple use case, there are probably less demanding and better suited applications out there. Plone is much heavier on RAM and CPU usage than your run-off-the-mill web system. It's built to do a lot of different things, and should preferrably be hosted on a dedicated server if possible. Zope, the application platform Plone runs on top of (which you won't be able to run in a shared account), is the main reason it won't work on TCH (or pretty much any shared hosting) servers, unless those providers specifically provide Zope/Plone instances for you as part of their service.
