Plone 4 Production Server - 32bit
This is a minimal text based server appliance that is customised to run Plone 4, a state of the art open source content management system.
The current release of this appliance (1.1.0) comes with Plone version 4.0.7.
In this latest release, the Plone 4 server appliance now also comes with nginx and pound preconfigured to provide a production ready deployment. Plone is configured with two front end clients load balanced and available from port 80 through nginx out of the box. For alternative deployments, the appliance also comes with additional tools and packages to make just about any Plone deployment scenario possible.
Some of the additional packages included are apache2, squid, varnish, and webalizer (with sample configurations for apache2 and varnish). All additional packages are based on the SUSE repository versions, making it simple and practical to manage with the default package distribution tools.
The Plone 4 appliance is built from a JEOS framework to minimize unnecessary packages and to maximize server functionality. It is also integrated with additional configurations for logrotate and cron to regularly cull your log files, and keep your Zope database in great shape.
Once you have downloaded and launched the Plone 4 appliance, you can log in to your server directly on port 80 and create your new Plone site with the following administration login:
username: admin
password: JstqQn8t
If you are using a previous version of the Plone 4 appliance (4.0.2 or earlier) you may need the following login/password instead:
username: admin
password: fiv8o71r
Please feel free to leave comments if you find this useful or if you have additional suggestions on possible improvements, or run into issues.

Thanks for your contribution. have you thought in add Varnish 2.0.5 adn nginx 0.8 in your distro? It would be amazing.
Both nginx and varnish are included in the appliance but not configured specifically for Plone. Working on having nginx preconfigured and launched at boot time in the next version.
What is teh default username and password on the Plone Instance?
The username and password is:
username: admin password: fiv8o71rDetails can be found in the following file:
/usr/local/Plone/zinstance/adminPassword.txt
It is a good idea to change this for a production instance. More info can be found here
I made an EC2-instance out of this but http://(your server name):8080/Plone gives me nothing. Server is running and I have ssh-access to it, but can’t figure out how to get Plone running. Any help?
Have you tried port forwarding through using ssh to connect via your local machine? It is likely a firewall issue somewhere between your appliance and the computer you are accessing it from.
