Hey guys,
im taking a stab in the dark but i think the
problem comes in if you have the witango server on a machine of one endian and
the witango client on a machine of another endian.
if i remember correctly mac is big endian and intel
is little endian, all this means is if you have a double word (4 bytes) on a
mac, the bytes will be in the order 1234, but if you have 4 bytes on an intel
system, the bytes will be in the order 3412. very odd isnt it? i dont know
why they do this but they do...maybe they gain some preformance boost way deep
in the hardware or something? who knows...
So if you transfer a double word from a mac to an
intel cpu, it will take those 1234 bytes and THINK that the bytes are in 3412
format, meaning it will mix up the data in awful ways :P
Im not sure if there are other issues involved but
this is a big one that comes to mind!

I can't remember the specific details, but I believe that there
are recommendations that you NOT much platforms for the Witango Client, and
Witango Server. I believe that the problems are because of the differences
in how paths are handled.
Hope this helps,

Anybody have any advice for setting up a multiple tier
environment for Witango?
Hypothetical Setup...
Box 1 (Web):
192.168.1.2
Mac OS X Server Running Apache
wapache.dll (clients.ini
: "WITANG_SERVER=192.168.1.3,18100")
Box 2 (Application):
192.168.1.3
Windows 2003 Server
Witango 5 Application Server (
witango.ini : "VALIDHOSTS=192.168.1.2")
Box 3 (Data):
192.168.1.4
RedHat 9.0
MySQL, PostgreSQL, OpenBase, Oracle,
etc...
Here are my questions.
• All calls to external files
(<@INCLUDE>, file actions, etc..) have to be mapped to Box 2?
•
File paths in Witango applications have to be in the correct format for
the platform the application server is on? ( i.e. Windows
C:\...\...\myinclude.inc )
• Which box is the ERROR_HTML, referred to
in the clients.ini, on?
• All COM, Java Beans, Batch Files, DLL's or
external applications should be on or accessible by the application
server?
• What would you suggest networking with? Gigabit? Fiber?
•
Is there an option in the installers to only install the CGI or plugin on
the web server. I think the option used to be in the T2k
installers....
Any other helpful tips you can
suggest?
Thanks.
