We recommend the latest 1.1.x release.

For using orcale as a database you must look into the com.opencms.file
package. There are some classes which have "mysql" attached. These classes
contain the SQL statements. These will probably have to be edited to work
with different databases.

Installation on NT should work the same way as on Unix, provided you use the
Windows ports of Apache, Jserv and mySQL. We currently have not tried it
with IIS, but it worked some time ago. Setting up Jrun for the servlets was
pain, though, so we switched to Apache / Jserv.

Best Regards, 

Alex.
