Re: Best Practice for Setting up 19 Sites in Plone 4.3

I configured my zeo.conf  in /usr/local/plone/zeocluster/parts/zeoserver/etc/    
with additional filestorage (see codes in pastebin - http://pastebin.com/Cb7fFeVY)

The zeoserver starts up fine and the separate ZODBs are recognized and populate with Data.fs
for example:

[root@plone01 /usr/local/plone/zeocluster/var/filestorage/data_fec]# ls -lh
total 12K
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone_daemon plone_group 4 Aug  5 11:23 data_fec.fs
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone_daemon plone_group 7 Aug  5 11:23 data_fec.fs.index
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone_daemon plone_group 7 Aug  5 11:23 data_fec.fs.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone_daemon plone_group 0 Aug  5 11:23 data_fec.fs.tmp

But in ZMI, I am unable to do ZODB Mounting Point because the site is not listed under Contents.

Then I tried to wrap the additional filestorages in zeo.conf with:
zope-conf-additional = 
  <zodb_db sitename>
    # FileStorage for sitename
    <filestorage>
      path ….
    </filestorage>
    mount-point /sitename
  </zodb_db>

When zeoserver starts, errors:
zeoserver: Error: 'zope-conf-additional' is not a known key name
zeoserver: Error: unknown type name: 'zodb_db'
zeoserver: Error: 'mount-point' is not a known key name

Wonder what am I doing wrong?

In addition, in my Plone 3.3.5 production site, the buildout.cfg has  - http://pastebin.com/t9qMvaZm   to help with creation of mounting points for separate ZODB data files.

I did the same for Plone 4.3.3 buildout.cfg, but it has no effect.

Thanks in advance for your advise.
