Thank you Jason. Since I am new to WebWare I may be ignorant. I am planning to develop an intranet that will be used by at lease 75-100 employees to use a number of databases on MySQL. I would like to have the security, flexibility and performance when developing this application.
Are there tutorials that will show me how to use WebWare with Apache, Python, and MySQL. I am just reading and trying to configure WebWare at the moment. Any help would be very much appreciated.
