Hallo,
I need some experienced comments again.
1) Which kind of Linux is used successfully with WO Deployment.
Background: I recently
did deploy WO on Debian Linux but could not find a means to get WO
starting automatically
on server start, which is a bad thing really.
You would just need to use whatever startup mechanism debian uses,
perhaps look for an /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d
It also does not support to
store variables
like NEXT_ROOT on the system permanently.
This isn't strictly necessary, NEXT_ROOT only needs to be in the
environment that is used to start wotaskd and JavaMonitor, any sub-
processes they launch will inherit the environment. So all you need
to do is export NEXT_ROOT in the launch scripts for wotaskd and
JavaMonitor
So those of you, who do have Linux Deployments running, on which
flavour
of Linux do they
run?
I don't use Linux. I use FreeBSD.
Any comments why (if not personal preference)?
Because FreeBSD is better than Linux (ducks!). Seriously, I have used
FreeBSD for over a decade, the kernel is (or at least used to be) a
LOT cleaner and nicer to work on than Linux. FreeBSD also has the
"ports" system, which I have leveraged to allow building a full
deployment environment in a single command "make install" (once you
have downloaded some prerequisite files).
2) I suppose running on Linux is the cheaper way to get an App up and
running. Is that
true or are there other upsides in behalve of Linux.
It's all relative. Depends on the cost of the hardware you run it on,
and the expertise of your admins.
3) Do you have high traffic apps on LInux as well or would it be
better to
have a high
traffic app running on Mac hardware?
Either option should be equally capable on similar hardware.
