Hi Howard, Responding now to the general question too...
For our libraries, we're current running a variant of Evergreen 2.7 series (with lots of local customizations) on multiple virtual machines -- split between 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 server editions; we're primarily Ubuntu shop here. In general, I would recommend Evergreen 2.7 be installed on Ubuntu 12.04 due to some minor quirks with 14.04 for specific areas like Acquisitions EDI, but if you're just testing things out, Ubuntu 14.04 should be "safe" to use to get the feeling for Evergreen. Special note, the 64-bit version of Ubuntu is the only widely tested platform, the community in general does *not* test the 32-bit version for compatibility. Also, for Ubuntu, you need "server edition", there may be quirks and problems if attempting to use the "desktop edition" or others of Ubuntu (or there has been mention of problems with desktop edition in the past). While Fedora is noted as an installation target, it has not been widely supported as an "official" Linux platform for use and I would not recommend using it for your tests. Others will suggest Debian as a platform too; I can't speak for the whole community but some past surveys of users did seem to suggest the vast majority are split between either Debian or Ubuntu as their platforms of choice (I'll link to the survey thread http://markmail.org/message/6w56bgogb4475nqr , but it looks like the link in the archive is not working quite right or something else is wrong with Edoceo's site for me as I tried it). In general, the installation process for Evergreen has improved dramatically over the years I've been using it, but there may be always room for further improvements to the process. Others might have suggestions or further opinions to offer on the matter. -- Ben On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Howard Canning <hcann...@bluehills.org> wrote: > Hi > Having problems with connecting the staff client to evergreen 2.7.4 on > ubuntu 14.04.
