[opencms-dev] a CMS for a publishing site

[Pritpal Dhaliwal]

Subbu,

I have ran Java on FreeBSD before using linux-compat, and then run the linux jvm. There are some efforts to port java over to freebsd but I have not heard of 1.4 being ported and stable. You might want to look around http://www.freebsd.org/java/ 
I recommend using linux-compat way, but I doubt you will be able to do the whole operation in 20-30 megs that you have.

It might be worth to spend $10-$15 a month and get an actual host that will give you servlets and stuff ( and lots of space )/

  Dear Ivan and others, 

   

  From the Java developer website, I noted that the runtime JDK is not available for the FreeBSD platform. Is there another source I can get this from?

  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
