How can I compile Python 2.3.3 and Zope 2.7.0 in a VDS?

[Prepare VDS]

[Python 2.3.3]

Create new directory for Python 2.3.3:

cd /usr/local
mkdir python
chmod 755 python
chmod +t python

Create a directory for extracting source files:

cd /usr/local
mkdir src

Download Python's sorce file and extract:

cd src
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.3/Python-2.3.3.tgz
tar -xzvf Python-2.3.3.tgz

Configure, compile and install Python 2.3.3:

cd Python-2.3.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python
(You may see some error messages regarding missing "sort" command.)
make
make install

Create a symbolic link for Python 2.3.3:

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s ../python/bin/python python

Test it by running this command:

python -V

You should get version number "Python 2.3.3" for Python printed to your screen.

[Zope 2.7.0]

Create new installation directory for Zope 2.7.0:

cd /
mkdir opt

Create "instance home" directory for Zope 2.7.0:

cd /usr/local
mkdir zope

Download Zope's sorce file and extract:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.0/Zope-2.7.0.tgz
tar -xzvf Zope-2.7.0.tgz

Configure, compile and install Zope 2.7.0:

cd Zope-2.7.0
./configure
make
make install

Create "instance home":

/opt/Zope-2.7/bin/mkzopeinstance.py

Directory: /usr/local/zope
Username: xxxx
password: yyyy
Verify password: yyyy

Start and stop Zope:

/usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl start
/usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl stop

To start and stop Zope automatically with VDS:

cd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d
ln -s /usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl S90zope
ln -s /usr/local/zope/bin/zopectl K90zope

To disable Zope's debug mode:

cd /usr/local/zope/etc
vi zope.conf

Add following line.

debug-mode off

Save zope.conf and restart Zope service.
