RE: Porting to OS X

[Vuillemot, Ward W]

Wheeler's site provides a lot of great information.  When I get to my other computer, I can send you some other useful URLs for setting up UNIX apps on the OS X if you want.   I found it took about an evening to install all the software. Another evening to get mod_perl apps up and running, but I had to install XML-related software, too. . .mysql is a snap, too. And I am NOT a sysadmin...not even close.   I think it is relatively an easy move, IMHO.  Just beaware that the Mac OS filesystem is NOT case-sensitive.  Which can cause problems with certain applications. . .and we hope (Apple, you listening?) that they will fix this gross over-sight.   Cheers, Ward -----Original Message----- From: Noam Solomon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 10:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Porting to OS X Can anyone give me a rough idea how much time it would take to move a server serving mod_perl websites from UNIX to OS X?  It uses Apache::Session, DBI::Mysql, HTML::Mason, CGI, and Apache::OpenIndex, among others,  and uses both AuthHandlers and AuthzHandlers.   I know it's difficult to estimate without knowing how big the websites are, what kind of functions they call, etc., but if you could give me an idea of what kind of problems I can expect to encounter and how difficult they are to work around, I can give a quote to my client.   Thanks, Noam Solomon
