Hello everyone, At the bottom of this page: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Deployment/Deploying_Applications/Deployment/chapter_6_section_3.html Reads:"In most situations you should deploy an application’s logic and resources on different computers. For example, while developing an application on Mac OS X, you can test it with the web server included with the system. However, you should not deploy the application in Mac OS X. Always deploy WebObjects applications on Mac OS X Server."... with basically zero explanation. Is there some security reason for separating logic and resources? Why is OS X Server a must?
Because it costs at least $500... ;)AFAIK there's no real reason to it. Mac OS X Server apache default configuration may be a little better tunned for a heavy-duty server, but it's nothing you can't achieve on the client too. Also, if you are configuring a server with many hits per second, you probably would want to tune apache yourself, so...
I also think OS X Server kernel is compiled with some higher values on stuff like the maximum number of processes, etc, but I don't know if that's important enough to justify the cost. There are also some goodies on the server, like watchdogs, etc, but again, one thing is "OS X Server offers some advantages" and other is "you should not deploy in Mac OS X". I agree with the first, I strongly disagree with the second. I have Mac OS X (non-server) machines running some network services like NAT and DHCP with very high uptimes, with no problems at all.
