Recommendations are not requirements. WindowsXP can run on a 3Ghz Pentium4 with 2GB RAM, but MS recommends a 10Ghz Pentium6 with 16GB RAM if you want decent performance. My big development/administration experience with Tomcat was 3.3. I am probably happier now with Lenya running under Tomcat5 than I would have been with Tomcat4 (except the installation I finally got working does not have the Rewrite module. Oops.) The Installation Instructions imply that Tomcat 5.0.28 is required. That will scare away new people with existing Tomcat 4 production servers from trying Lenya because they think they must upgrade before using Lenya. The documentation is most of the marketing Lenya has. Anything that scares away potential customers is very bad. I still worry about advertising features Lenya does not have. Would someone please update the Installation Instructions with a note about other known good versions of Tomcat? "1. Get Apache Tomcat for JDK 1.4 Lenya is developed and tested with Tomcat 5.0.28; it is assumed in the following instructions, and we highly recommend it. Tomcat 4.0.0+, 4.1.24+, 5.0.18+ and 5.5.0+ should work too." Use the oldest possible versions in the documentation: 4.1.0? Hey everybody, What versions of Tomcat are you using with Lenya 1.2.2? solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
