They are not clear enough. You can't step on anyone by giving instructions. There's no copyright preventing anyone else from making up other instructions.

I could write up the php/apache stuff pretty easy and make it nooby proof, UT, I haven't done that because it was not my idea, and I don't want to illegally" step on Kevin. However, I did write up complete instructions on how to install Apache on IX 5.3 if anyone needs that. have to write things down because my limited brain power often forgets.

I know that Tony feels like people should just get smarter, but I'm not the only one who has pointed out that there simply are no good install manuals for any of the various free options. Yes there are installation instructions, but they quickly spiral off into the level of geek speak that you have to already know, in order to understand. At which point most people give up. -----Original Message----- From: Symeon Breen <syme...@gmail.com> To: 'U2 Users List' <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Fri, Dec 2, 2011 11:52 am Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1 Unresponsive UO Connection The benefit of using any http server , iis, cassini, apache etc, is its hole multiplexing functionality, which to do well is not trivial. Iis is lso very integrated into the OS, the whole http layer is in fact inside the s, as opposed to being an application on top of the os. So it makes sense n many ways. And if you want to use .net (of which I am a big fan) and you don't have to se linux then why use mono ? Contrary to what many people believe Visual tudio, .net, MS Sql are all free (as in beer) for development/small and edium scale deployment. ----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno ent: 02 December 2011 18:24 o: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org ubject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1 Unresponsive UO Connection For reference, it's a widespread myth that you need IIS to do web services r other website integration with Windows. That's simply not so. IIS is an pplication that provides many services including authentication, memory anagement, process allocation, routing, logging, and many others. If "all want is a pipe into my daatabase" then you can easily run a Windows ervice that's listening to a socket which will do whatever you want. You ust won't get all of those other services. Now, in response to not needing Windows Server, I try to avoid discussions n religion. ;) Seriously, if you like like the ASP.NET model, just not indows or Microsoft, look into Mono FOSS) where you can run your code in Windows or Linux, just like Java. Or slightly more practical) run a Windows 7 or XP guest in a virtual machine ver Linux. It's just another application, about 400MB of overhead, and houldn't require much maintenance unless you're doing other things with it. f course these aren't solutions for the masses but for some sites these olutions could be ideal in comparison with others. YMMV T From: John Thompson I do remember playing with this a few years ago, but, at the time I wasn't "smart" enough to make it work. I did like the fact that it did not need IIS, or Windows Server to work :) Rex Gozar wrote: > My u2pipe has been available on PickWiki since 2006. > If can be used with PHP, ColdFusion, ASP.NET, raw sockets, etc. > http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?U2pipe _______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ---- o virus found in this message. hecked by AVG - www.avg.com ersion: 10.0.1411 / Virus Database: 2102/4052 - Release Date: 12/02/11 _______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- ohn Thompson ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
