At my shop, we use WebSphere, but I hate it with a passion. Updates are a nightmare It's not J2EE compliant Automated deploys are very difficult What is the best J2EE Application Server out there and why? Edit: We see largish scale activity 50k+ daily logins, 50ish Web Applications, Several MDBs and an EJB. ...
Is it good, bad, or indifferent to run SQL Server on your webserver? I'm using Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005, but I don't think that matters to this question. ...
I would like to use my laptop as a web development (PHP, Python, etc.) machine, but I'm hesitant to do this unless I can ensure that it can not be accessed by the outside world. I'm guessing that something more than a firewall is necessary, such as configurations to the Apache configuration files, but I'm not sure what else I would need...
I've noticed that just in the last year or so, many major websites have made the same change to the way their pages are structured. Each has moved their Javascript files from being hosted on the same domain as the page itself (or a subdomain of that), to being hosted on a differently named domain. It's not simply parallelization Now, t...
Hi, I'm doing PHP development. And coming from a Rails background, I'm looking for a like-for-like replacement for Webrick in PHP. Is there such a light weight server? Something with minimal configuration and installation effort. Apache is actually fine. But I would like to know if there're other options. Or do most of you use Apache? ...
I'm considering rolling my own, but just in case there's a good piece of software already available, I'm asking here: Is there something that will provide an interface to webserver redirect configuration, and allow redirects to be managed by a fairly non-technical userbase. The following requirements must be fulfilled: Open-source Apac...
As a follow up to an earlier question that attracted a whole zero answers, I'm wondering about the possibilities of allowing a web server (apache) to write to its own document root (Linux), in order to dynamically create meta-redirect files. Of course, this sounds incredibly dangerous, and I'm wary of going the whole hog and granting th...
Are there other possibilities besides IIS for hosting web sites and web services based on ASP.NET, which are recommended by Microsoft for small-scale environments? ...
Take a very simple case as an example, say I have this URL: http://www.example.com/65167.html and I wish to serve that content under: http://www.example.com/about UPDATE: Note that the 'bad' URL is the canonical one (it's produced by a CMS which uses it internally for linking), so "/about" is just a way of polishing it. I have two...
I "inherited" a PowerBook and want a place to host some of my pet Rails apps. What's the best step-by-step guide (or guides) to set this up? Feel free to write your own here, if you like, or write the steps with references. ...
I have a J2EE-based system which is running currently on Apache Tomcat. We are in discussions to move our production servers to the Glassfish server. Can someone share their experiences with either of them? ...
i get the error ... Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\cbnonreg\fc933fca\bbf91eea" is denied... whenever i try to access my newly deployed site. I looked at the path and discovered that .../cbnonreg\fc933fca\bbf91eea does not exist... please what can i do? Idis. ...
Using in-process session state is evil when it comes to scaling web applications (does not play well with clusters, bombs out when server recycles). Assuming you just need to keep a small amount of information in the session state, what is the downside of using encrypted cookie items for this purpose rather than specific state servers/d...
I am thinking of the next steps for a project I have written. It is currently a desktop application that controls a serial port device. I am considering allowing browser clients to connect to some process to get "near real time" updates about the state, etc of the device. Possibly also allowing control from a browser client. I'd ra...
I've always wondered about this ... and thankfully, now have a good environment of experts to ask this question. When creating a web application project which web server is the most expedient to use? This is a duplicate question ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/281667/asp-net-development-server-or-localhost-iis ... my bad! ...
Maybe someone can shed some light on this simple question: I have a .NET web application that has been thoroughly vetted. It loads a cache per appdomain (process) whenever one starts and can not fully reply to requests until it completes this cache loading. I have been examining the settings on my application pools and have started won...
A bit more context, in case this question is too general: the uses I have in mind are running django and serving static content and name-based virtual hosting. I am vaguely aware of the performance/resource tradeoffs between the different servers, but that is a secondary concern. Anyone who has deployed all three in production? ...
We develop a web app that manages files and resources for different users to download throughout the day on a web server with very limited upstream bandwidth. Is there any way to monitor in real time how much upstream bandwidth is being taken up by individual connections to IIS (7.0)? Ideally we'd like way to see a list of each activ...

Recently our Software Analytic provider (NETTRACKER) sent us a plugin in order to be able to capture visitors in a better way. This plugin is for Apache 1.x and Apache 2.x. They said and I quote that since Apache Tomcat is built on Apache HTTP server the configuration of the plugin should be the same. I have looked for a httpd....
