Installing Open-eGov and other AddOn products used by Open-eGov

These instructions are for installing the Open-eGov product and associated products in a Linux environment.

We run our system on Linux with Pound as a load balancer for two instances of Zope and Squid as a cache manager.

These instructions assume you have installed Plone and Zope and have a Plone site created. You will need to know the Administrative username and password that was created when your Plone site was built and the path (we refer to the path in these instructions as yourpath) on your server to the Plone directory of your Plone site.
