+1, though I might even drop mod_ssl and mod_rewrite on the floor :) Those can always be "added" by the user when they decide they need them, at which point they're theoretically more willing to invest some time in tweaking the config. > Anyway, this should be clearly directed at *only* Windows.

In fact, my intention would be to build a "Webware trivial install" RPM. A savvy Linux user can choose to grab the RPM (or sources) that will best mesh with everything that's already installed by the system. On the other hand, someone who may or may not have already hacked their installed stuff beyond recognition will be able to grab the "trivial install" RPM and install it so they can get up and running quickly without screwing up their installed stuff. > > For future proofing, use Apache 2.0 now, rather than 1.3 > > I suppose, but it should also be possible to use 1.3 since you aren't > looking for a featureful server anyway, just a compact and reliable one. Sure. No reason not to apply the same techniques to both builds. That way, both 1.3 and 2.0 users can start with a trivial install kit and migrate Webware into their entire production (whichever Apache it may use) when they're ready. > Anyway, this might not be at all difficult, or maybe it's already been > done.

I'm going to hope that it's not at all difficult :) In fact, I may have time to build some strawman RPMs later this week. We'll see :) - t. _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
