OpenOSX Ships OpenWeb 2.5 CD CROWLEY LAKE, Calif.--(OPENOSX-COM)--Dec. 9th, 2002-- OpenOSX's today began shipping a new version of their popular OpenWeb for Mac OS X 10.2.2+ product. This version brings updated software, dozens of additional enhancements and applications including optional support for the new and slightly experimental Apache 2 Web Server series. The product includes separate Apache 1.27 and 2.0.43 based packages for the long list of software included. Both versions may be installed on the same system separately or simultaneously. The OpenWeb product was designed to empower webmasters with a wide range of ready to use tools as fast, conveniently and easily as possible. By double-clicking the installer, the OpenWeb CD will install and fully configure a suite of popular server software and web-applications including: a secure shopping cart, an advanced content management and publishing system, web-based graphical server administration (supports DNS, SSL, Apache, MySQL, Samba and more), SQL database backends, a search engine, bulletin board system, advertising management and more. The product is based on Apache versions 1.3.27 and 2.0.43 with PHP 4.3.0RC2 (built as Apache 1 and 2 modules), Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.12 along with mod_jk 1.2.1 (also built as Apache 1 and 2 modules), Perl 5.8.0 with mod_perl versions versions 1.27 and 1.99_07, MySQL 3.23.53 with MyODBC 2.50.39, OpenSSL 0.9.6 with mod_ssl 2.8.12. A free PHP 4.3.0 update will be made available when 4.3.0 is finalized. Apache 2 offers many new features over previous versions including enhanced scalability. Tomcat along with mod_jk allows the serving of Java Serer Pages and Servelets directly from the web server without the need to use a port number. Perl with the mod_perl module enables a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This avoids the overhead of starting an external interpreter and alleviates the penalty of Perl start-up time, benefiting fast dynamic content. The OpenWeb package is available immediately for us$60 and upgrades from previous versions of the product are us$20. OpenOSX also has complementary, specially priced, O'Reilly book bundles and 6-month hassle-free CD-subscriptions available. Limited installation support and documentation is included. Visit the OpenOSX web site for more details (http://OpenOSX.com/openweb). OpenOSX is a company dedicated to serving, and expanding, the Macintosh community. Founded on the premise that many computer users are intimidated by the UNIX command-line, OpenOSX committed itself to one mission- bringing popular Unix software to both the "Unix-challenged" and the seasoned, Mac inclined system administrator in a friendly, Mac environment. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
