It works well!
I have been running Witango/Tango2000 for months now on Linux. In fact I am offering Hosting Services on Witango for Linux. The link to actually get a page back from Witango/Tango2000 on Linux is, go to my web site "http://www.maxys.com"; and click on "Training-Classes". I am able to connect to multiple type of Databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAPDB and Pervasive Software.
There are two ways to connect Apache to Tango as you all know. One is using a CGI and the other is to use a Plugin Client. To use CGI, you don't need to recompile Apache. Problem is that for referenced URLs (not fully qualified URLs like the ones without a leading slash), the browser sticks the CGI and directory path name in front of it automatically. So if you are not calling another TAF (like if you are requesting html pages or images), the browser builds an incorrect URL, and the call fails. You can prevent this by fully constructing proper URL each time, but you require discipline and lose some portability. So using CGI client for any Server (including Witango) is not as transparent. That is why I like using the Plug-in..., not just for performance.
For the Plug-in client, you just follow the instructions provided with Tango2000, compile and deploy Apache. Make sure you edit your httpd.conf file to set up directories etc.. Like you most of you know Linux is a wonderful platform to work with, but it is a learning curve. I am looking forward to Witango 5 release for Linux.

Steve,

I want more than anything to run the Linux version of Witango... I've been waiting for the beta for MONTHS!

I have no idea. Based on the lack of response that I received, I am
beginning to wonder if anyone on this list is using the Linux version. I
found a Red Hat 5.2 disk which based on the Tango Linux Getting Started
guide is supported and I'm going to give it a try.


I'm sorry to be a pain but if there is anyone that is successfully using
Tango Linux on any Red Hat version, could they please contact me.


Thanks,

You inspired me to try this out on my dev server (Suse Linux 6.4 = 2.2.14
kernel).


So I followed instructions:

Installed successfully from an rpm, v 4.00.088 was installed and launched.

downloaded, configured, compiled, made, installed apache_1.3.27 with the
tango4 app server, including httpd.conf.


Updated to the 4.05.047 FTF, and t4event.log shows it running with a 30
day license, but every attempt to access a simple hello.taf or the
config.taf fails:


apache error_log (ten entries similar to below):
[Thu Feb 27 14:13:30 2003] [notice] child pid 1662 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

Any thoughts on obvious things to do?


I'm in a 'get this Linux thing to work' mood again this week. I had
installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 and was able to get the Tango Server

to work by

connecting from a Tango Windows client, the Tango client to work by
connecting to a Tango Windows server (cgi method only, not

plug-in), and got

the two of them to talk to each other but again with only the cgi and not
the plug-in. And I couldn't get the Tango Linux server to talk to MySQL.


One of my former co-workers has it working on his Linux box but under Red
Hat Linux 6.2 (and using PrimeBase I think, not MySQL). He suggested I'd
need to go back to 6.2 because the 7.3 libraries wouldn't work with Tango
2000. I managed to find the ISO files on a Red Hat mirror site and burned
the CD's but I can't get the CD to autoload. Does anyone have a


suggestion

on how I might get around this problem?

Does anyone have any experience using Tango 2000 under Red Hat

7.3 with the

plug-in? I'm also trying to get MySQL working under Linux but

haven't been

able to get it to communicate either from Tango server running

on the same

box or from a Tango server running on another box.

If there are any Red Hat Linux gurus out there, I'd love to talk to them.

Also what is the current status of the Witango Linux beta?

I realize I've asked a bunch of different questions here, I'd be happy to
receive any responses that answer even some of my questions.


Please let me know.

Thanks,

Steve Smith
