I'm really new to OpenBD - just tried my first install of it on my local machine today, and am quite excited about the prospect of not needing ColdFusion Server!
I've been trying to decide on Jetty vs. Tomcat, and a couple things are factors in my decision. I like what's being said about Jetty and that it seems more lightweight, especially with the appeal of the Ready2Run bundle. But how do I get it to handle my .htaccess files, which I use religiously for search-engine-friendly rewriting, and across multiple hosts? And can I easily use phpMyAdmin without having to install apache, and if not, am I really better off using Tomcat? -Bien http://www.concepcion-design.com On Mar 5, 1:48 pm, Matthew Woodward <[email protected]> wrote: > Dakota Burns wrote: > > Are their any downfalls to running Jetty versus Tomcat? > > Nope, really just comes down to personal preference.
