Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to stupid newbie question

Posted by Jade Rubick on
Hmmm, that's an approach I hadn't thought of. We using ACS
3.4, and I'd also like to take advantage of OACS 4.x based
functionality. If there was a way we could use both while I ported
each module, it would be so much easier for me.

I really haven't thought about this too much, but could you install
3.x to listen on one port, and 4.x to listen on another, and then
modify the registration system to use 4.x on both?  It would take
some customization, because as far as I understand, the user
data model is totally different, so it would take some
basterdization of your 3.x system...

I guess you'd probably need two different Aolservers running,
each one with its own set of procs and so on.

Anybody else thought about this very much? Would this be
easier than just biting the bullet and porting everything to 4.x?
