Re: [RDD] Using Apache under Windows for Rivendell
I'm a bit puzzled as to why anyone would want to use a Windows server, whether for MySQL or audio. What advantages does Windows offer?

( among other things ) It's not just locking, but the way the file system internally refers to file data itself. That's why windows can't ( not just won't ) do some of the things various parts of Rivendell require. Depending on what you do, when, and how, you might see nothing, or you might see some real damage to your audio store. You are playing Russian Roulette !

I know that it is possible to run an NFS server on a Windows box, but underneath it all Windows still handles your files > quite differently from Linux. For example the way that Windows does file locking is a big area of concern and one of the big reasons > Rivendell has not been ported. It took me a while, but I got things pretty stable. I use Samba and reconnect shares in fstab with appropriate permissions. I've also created a "user" on the server for rd and made sure that Windows' permissions were properly set. I've not seen a problem with locking. Not that it won't happen, but I've not yet seen it. By the way, right now this is just a hobby machine; if I move it to actual on-air deployment I would be using Paravel's server/client model. But right now I'm developing (under Windows but with Lazarus to eventually create a Linux version) my own music scheduling software specifically for Rivendell, so I prefer to have my server running Windows. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
