However, I've been told that static content (HTML, Images, etc.) is slower on Tomcat than a pure webserver like Apache. My understanding is that when you're using Tomcat as a stand-alone webse...
I think this question has not to do with programming in general, but nevertheless the answers might be interesting to other web developers. I just wondered how to estimate the minimum requirements to have a fast website. Obviously there are some facts that have to be considered like the expected number of visitors, the derived number of...
I have 2 Apache instances on the same server, one on port 80, one on another port. The first one works fine. When I go to mydomain.com:otherport I get the error message named in the title. The directory does exist, and has the same user and group that the web server is running as. ...

My internet sites are at the folder public_html I noted that www/ seems to have a symbolic link to public_html. I do not know why we need the www/ -folder, when we have public_html. Perhaps, it is a security reason. Perhaps, the name of the folder where websites are should be hidden. Why does www/ -folder point to the folder publ...
When I yesterday returned to Visual Web Developer I was no longer able to run/debug my projects.

IE7 says "Cannot s...
