Forum OpenACS Development: Response to How about Apache 2.0?

Posted by David Kuczek on
I would like to clear some things concerning the use of an AOLServer with openacs. My basic concern is: Which server should I use, when my future site should carry some (lots of) traffic.
<br><br>
The <a href=https://openacs.org/doc/openacs/aolserver/x10.html>Simple AOLServer Installation Guide</a> tells you only about the regular distribution at www.aolserver.com and not about the AOLserver+ad12.
<br><br>
The Installation Guide tells you "In my personal experience nsd76 is a bit faster, so choose it according to your needs" <b>while</b> Don tells you "Tcl 8x is byte-code compiled as opposed to Tcl 7.* and earlier, which was truly and agonizingly slowly interpreted".
<br><br>
If this is a contradiction we could open a thread on experiences with different servers (or distributions) relating speed, installation etc. People from the opennsd project could quickly introduce their effort and I would write a "HowTo" or "WhichToUse" for openacs.
<br><br>
This would clear some confusion I believe...
