[opencms-dev] new website announcement built with OpenCMS

Wed Jun 8 19:36:25 CEST 2005

Hello and Thank you for the kind words.

I have to oppoligize though, in that our needs are not very demanding as far 
as "http" goes (all our energize are spent on our internal ICC.NET Value Added Network, 
built on top of our custom built Object Messaging architecture in Java).
I won't be able to provide you with the answers you need as I have no
experience in that end.  

Your idea however seems sound.  Perhaps using
log shipping if it exists in MySQL, or using a scheduled job to take the
periodic backup of one MySQL image and distributing it to others.

However I believe the MySQL that you pay for has advanced features, and may/should
have transactional synchronization built in, saving you from having to have a patchwork 
of jobs keeping databases in sync on redundant servers.

I honestly have not had a second to devote to thinking about upgrading OpenCMS.

I started with something like 300Megs.  The working set is only 100Megs.  
The machine it's on has 2Gigs. :)  ...no problems there.

Best Regards,
-steve

	Steve,

	Very nice design indeed. I had a few questions for you. 

	We have deployed our global website, consolidating 40+ websites,  using opencms 6 beta 1/Tomcat/Apache/MySQL this month as well and I had the following questions:

	1)       How are you ensuring that you have high availability of the site ? Example MySQL were to fail or Tomcat were to fail… I am looking at Alkacon’s clustering module for potentially enabling high availability. Also looking at possibly ‘publishing’ the content to redundant web servers as static content ( not sure if this is possible )

	2)       What is your plan for future upgrades ?. While I know that you can export DB, modules and re-import to the new version, I believe that there is no way to export projects and you have to re-create manually.

	3)       We are seeing some out of memory errors in the Tomcat log file. Our JVM memory is set to 128M. I will be bumping it to 512M shortly. Do you have a similar experience ?

	Thanks for your response. 

	Best Regards,

	I would like to announce release of our new website developed with OpenCMS.  

	http://www.icc.net/en_US/oc/icc.net/

	Thank you to dhtmlcentral.com 's CoolMenus, TomCat, MySQL, etc., as well if the authors/contributors are on this list.

	Font color may change visually a tad over the next few days, as we find viewing of the site on certain monitors is difficult.

	Thank you OpenCMS developers for your efforts.

	...hope maybe that the OpenCMS community would be willing to answer more then a small fraction of my questions when I post to here in the future now... ;)

	Best Regard,
	Steve Mato
