wsgi app won't startup

[Nathan Van Gheem]

In using Zope 2.13.0a1, you can't create the wsgi app because it tries to configure the zserver. In the file, Zope2/Startup/__init__.py shouldn't we configure the zserver conditionally if they are set in the configuration file like this?

>>> if self.cfg.servers:
>>> self.setupZServer()
>>> self.setupServers()

Or should we have some kind of configuration option for the cases of starting it as a wsgi app. That way you could still use the same zope.conf for wsgi app and zserver.

So you are trying to use a zope.conf file which has a zserver configuration in it, but use it to start a WSGI application?

I think what should work is to have no zserver config in the zope.conf and then start it as a WSGI app. Probably it's a job for the buildout recipes to offer such a "WSGI" option.

Sorry for the delayed reply--I was on vacation...

Yes, I had no zserver configuration in the zope.conf I believe.

I'd just prefer a zope config to work with wsgi regardless if there it is served by wsgi or by zserver and even if there is a zserver config in the zope.conf file.

Downgrading to "medium", this is more an opinion than an actual bug. We'd likely solve this best by providing documentation on the setup and adjusting plone.recipe.zope2instance to provide wsgi support.

Matthew and me are working on better WSGI setup docs and a new recipe. Those should solve this issue.
