Not to start a Windows flame war, but 5-6 days is sad. It's surely not a
"solution," and we surely wouldn't call it a success.
We've been running a moderate virtual domain Apache (probably with at least
50 different domain names) on JRun 2.3 (the old one) and MySQL on RedHat
Linux 7.0 without problem for 101 days now (and the site has been running
for about two years), with no reboots because of acting up software.
Our latest development effort is using Apache 1.3.19+modssl with TC
3.2.2beta2 and Postgresql 7.1beta4 on VA Linux's RH 6.2 distribution. We
expect that site to go live in May, though unfortunately it's not likely to
be a high hits sort of site (it's a business site and naturally will need to
ramp up customers over time). I'll try to remember to report on its
success/failure. There's a low activity brochure site running now using the
same basic configuration (except for TC 3.2.1), but it's only been running
for 23 days.
