Hello, During our attempts to get the WS02 stocktrader properly configured, we encountered a host of issues that a more concise set of documentation can help resolve.
We need the documentation to address two types of developers, those who use WAMP right off the bat (and the anticipated SOAWAMP), and those who install each component separately. Drew and I went down those two routes, here is a collection of points that need to be clarified in the documentation. We are doing a review of the .NET installation guide, and will be updated the readme soon as well, the latest by next Tuesday. Dimuthu and Shankar, Can you please let update the DL with when do you think your documentation would be complete? Thanks. For the Piecemeal developer: * Apacher Web Server: indicate whether the "no_ssl' option is needed, else it might clash with choice of OpenSLL * In the WSF/PHP documentation: Need some detailed explanation of which version of PHP works with which version of OpenSSL o Example: PHP 5.2.6 uses OpenSSL 9.8.d, while PHP 5.2.9 uses OpenSSL 9.8.i * Explain exactly where to get the correct WSF/PHP stack. So far I have used privately built binaries such as o http://ww2.wso2.org/~shankar/wso2-wsf-php-bin-2.0.0-win32.zip * It was mentioned that the binary distribution build on ws02's site didn't contain some SH friendly changes, and hence the need for privately built distributions. Is this issue resolved? * The PHP installation instructions mention LoadModule php5_module modules/php5apache2.dll PHPIniDir "< your php.ini file location> " It should be pointed out that is it actually php5apache2_2.dll For the WAMP User Developer: * What are the plans/documentation for having a SH friendly SOAWAMP readily (whether on WS02 or apache or even a third party's site) Common Documentation Items: * My installation worked without installing "bindlib-cvs-vc8". Is it really needed? * DB needs to be populated with various endpoints settings. I think the scripts were updated, but an explanation is needed none the less. My understanding is that config database will only support a single configuration at one time. While we need to agree on a single format or config, WS02 and MS should have their own respective configurations documented. Format of documentation: I would recommend that the wiki be a one stop resource for installing PHP stock trader, and its associated components. I know PHP/WSF would have it own instructions, but the wiki could set the right context for it (example, suggest that the WSF/PHP samples be tested before the actual deployment of stocktrader)
