This is a very good question. I just started (today) having a look at Naviserver, and I have more experience on Aolserver on Windows than on Naviserver, anyhow, for what I have been able to see up to now:
1. I can compile Aolserver with Visual C++ Studio 2010 and 2012 both 32 bit ad 64 bit 2. Aolserver sources have some Windows specific makefiles that I used for the compilation mentioned in point 1 and they do work 3. Naviserver has a Win32 folder containing some Visual Studio project files (something similar to the makefiles), but they are in Visual C++ Studio 2006 style. So my guess is that Naviserver has never been compiled for Windows 64. 4. I am not sure the ns_oracle driver I specially debugged and corrected for Quest and that works on Aolserver will work also Naviserver. So I will further investigate this point, but: If I do not manage to compile Naviserver on Windows 64 (as I said in other posts I am not at all interested in Windows 32) or If I do not manage to port my version of the ns_oracle driver I will stick to Aolserver.

Hi all I fully support any efforts to merge both projects. One question though: is Naviserver supported on Windows?

Gustaf Neumann recently got ]project-open[ running on NaviServer without any issues with tcl8.5.11 + xotcl 2 + libthread (head) + tdom 0.83. There are a few compatibility issues, but they are minor, so that we can confirm from our user perspective that there is nothing missing in NaviServer. We are currently running OpenACS 5.7.0 as the base for ]po[ V4.0.

I'm guessing it's easier to fix whatever is perceived as not working with Naviserver and freeze Aolserver than the other way around? Just a guess. I always liked the Naviserver name better anyway... I'd vote for trying to get onboard the naviserver wagon, as a) they seem to have had a lot of innovation b) their documentation has apparently come a long way c) their handling of scalability, leaking and memory bloat is apparently further along than aolserver d) their project name doesn't make people cringe. Question: what does aolserver have that might need to be merged into naviserver? -john ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
