Hi Karl, I was responsible to install MCF on our system. When I first saw the how-to-build-and-deploy page, it seemed to me a little bit complicated. It was the first problem for me. I would like to see deployment page like Solr’s page for instance,
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat I mean if I want to deploy the MCF, I have to be very familiar with the MCF (I’m happy about it by the way but I think not everyone). Our server shuts down sometimes and I couldn’t run start-agents.sh after the shut down. I have to exit (with Ctrl + C) from the process before the shutdown (I think I should have created a ticket for it. I don’t know may be it resolved newer versions of MCF). It was the second problem for me. I wrote a repository connector for our system and I couldn’t test it seriously so I can’t say a lot of things. They were my little problems as a beginner :-) On 17 Apr 2014, at 15:30, Karl Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Muhammed, > > SHMMAX is mentioned, I believe, in the how-to-build-and-deploy page, > although it is not singled out as especially important.
