[opencms-dev] a CMS for a publishing site

[Ivan Biddles]

Hi,
 
The version of Tomcat to use is 4.1.18 which is a new stable release
from Apache Jakarta that fixes some security bugs that were introduced
in a previous release. The JDK to use is 1.4.1 which is also the latest
from Javasoft.
 
On my installation, Tomcat itself takes about 6 to 7 Mb. With only 25 to
30 Mb available you would need to go with the Java run-time only (not
the full developer kit). You could get away with that as long as you
didn't want to develop customized subclasses of OpenCms classes. With
the necessary zip files, my fairly extensive site uses about 30 Mbytes
for OpenCms and my pages - that would be in addition to Tomcat and the
JRE.
 
You may be able to shave it all down to fit in 25 Mb but it would very
close.
 
I hope this helps. Maybe somebody else has experience of fitting an
installation in a small partition.
 
Best wishes,
                    Ivan

Dear techfolks, 
 
I edit and manage and public affairs website that is currently
hand-managed at the HTML level. We've made a decision to consider moving
to an Open source CMS and that's how I ran into OpenCMS. My website run
in an FreeBSD/Apache environment, and MySql is installed and enabled. 
 
I'd like to download the OpenCMS binaries and test it for the purposes
of evaluation of the the CMS as well as MySQL. We have a total disk
space of around 25 to 30MB free on the website for this purpose, and
hence these questions.
 
Can someone tell me: 
 
1.       What is the diskspace usage of the runtime OpenCMS
installation? I take it the *.zip file downloadable is compressed. 
2.       I understand from the installation documentation that I may
need JDK and Tomcat. Which exact packages of JDK and Tomcat to download
for FreeBSD (minimal configuration), just to be able run the CMS and
create web pages (no frills) and what disk spaces they require?
 
Appreciate any and all inputs. 
 
-Subbu Vincent
