List,
I'm currently look to move from my testing environment to a live one and was
wondering if anyone could provide any advice or tips.
At present I'm using:
* VMware Virtual Machine
* 2 Physical Processors (Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5-2680 0 @ 2.70GHz)
* 4GB RAM
* Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition x64
* Geoserver 2.3.0 running as a service installed via the Windows
Installer through Jetty
* Oracle JRE 6 (32-bit)
I'm planning on having my VM replicated and then installing everything from
scratch on it (so up-to-date Geoserver, etc.). however I have a few questions
that I've found conflicting or limited advice on the internet about:
1. As I don't have an existing servlet container application (e.g.
Tomcat), I'm presuming my options are either using the Windows Installer or the
Windows Binary; is one preferred, what are the pros/cons?
2. Should I be using the JRE or JDK (or indeed Server JRE); I know that
only JRE is required but I've seen some people advised in the past to use the
JDK (I think it was using the latest version)?
3. Which version of JRE/JDK should be used, I've been recommended to use
JRE6 in the past but should I now be using JRE7; are there any
compatibility/security issues with either?
4. Also I note that if you use the Windows 64-bit JRE/JDK you cannot run
Geoserver as a Service, what are the disadvantages of this, any recommendations?
5. Again with the Windows 64-bit JRE/JDK; there doesn't seem to be an
option to install native JAI and JAI Image I/O extensions, would it be better
to use the 64-bit JRE with the pure Java versions or use the 32-bit JRE with
the native extensions?
6. How have people found the best way to upgrade Geoserver to the new
point releases? Is the only way to take everything down, uninstall completely
then reinstall Geoserver (+ extensions, etc.) every time? Any tips on limiting
downtime?
Thanks for your time and apologies for the number of questions.
Regards,
Rob
