Questions:
1) This will likely be a Windows 2012 r2 box, so 64 bit. Any specific
issues on W2k12? Is it preferable to use an older OS?
----- Windows 2012 r2 is fine - BUT use a 32 bit Perl !!
----- Don't mix any 32 and 64 bit components used by assp - always use 32
bit!
----- If you expect assp will require more than 4GB RAM - use a 64 bit nix
system - with all 64 bit components.
2) The Win32 quickstart guide that is in the new install zip file that I
just downloaded says:
4) Install the latest OpenSSL version 0.9.x (don't use version 1.x.x on
production systems)
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Is that still advisable?
----- NO - use the latest OpenSSL (will have to look at - is this still
written there ???)
3) Also that quickstart says to use activestate perl 5.12. That can't be
up to date can it? What's recommended, 5.16, 5.18? Lower?
----- 5.16.x is recommended for windows - there is still no repo for
5.18.x available at ActiveState
----- If your skills are really high, you can build mysql, Perl 5.18 and
all modules from source. (horror on windows)
----- This is also the only way to get 64 bit running on windows.
4) Database
a) Now that I'm hoping to use HMM, I need a database (right?). What's
recommended MySQL or BerkleyDB? I saw the post by Thomas that said that
BerkleyDB is now stable with perl 5.16/5.18, but I don't know if that's
better than using MySQL.
----- BerkeleyDB should work fine - but MySQL data are much better to
maintain (I use MySQL)
----- It is recommended to use BerkeleyDB for griplist and the temp
rebuild databases
a) Is there an up to date guide on moving from flat files to a proper
database?
----- Yes , the GUI - > File Paths and Database
and the assp_database_readme.txt file
Any other advise would be greatly appreciated.
----- just do it - better slow and smart than fast and stupid

Betreff: [Assp-test] Install advise on new Windows box
I'm going to be starting from scratch on a new Windows install, but
migrating data over from an older 2.x install. That current install uses
all flat files, no database.
