I think they're just different. The instructions here: http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Deploying+on+Amazon+EC2 are about being able to bring an appserver up from scratch using scripts. Eyeballing that page right now, it might be a little incomplete and/or light on detail, but it's certainly an approach I like, for what that's worth. With a bit of effort, you can turn wo-install.sh into something just right for your own purposes—we've evolved it into something that allows us to bring up an appserver on a new instance with a single local command without even needing to log in. This, on the other hand: http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Installing+a+deployment+environment+on+RedHat%2C+CentOS+or+Amazon+Linux (which I'm reading now for the first time) is a different approach, using pre-built packages. That might be good for you, but it's ceding a lot of control which you can maintain with the first approach. In another post, Gavin wrote: > Be careful.

Anyway, none of this changes what I wrote elsewhere: by all means update the Wiki. I think the two pages above are describing different approaches, though, and I think it would be a shame to lose the fully scripted method first described by Simon, and still in use today. -- Paul Hoadley http://logicsquad.net/ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
