Another vote of confidence for OS X. We moved to XServe and OS X 10.3
from a Windows server. We are running JDBC for connection to Oracle and
MySQL databases, and instead of the Witango server, are running J2Ee
and the Witango servlet (v 5.5, obviously). There are lingering issues
we are wrestling with, but we think these are primarily related to the
Java environment, rather than to Witango. The environment has been VERY
stable and we've had to spend virtually no time on supporting the
server since the move a year ago.

I disagree, I have found the server to be rock solid since 10.3.
Versions before that had a number of issues... the product requires
almost no maintenance and runs Witango, Tomcat and JBoss very well.
We run MySQL for the database, MyODBC and the installed ODBC drivers
from Apple. We have been running on single and dual processor G4s,
and G5s for a number of years. They all have at least 1 gb RAM. We
moved our Auto Trader software from Tango 2000/Oracle on Solaris a
year ago and have been very pleased. We did evaluate a Dell Server
running windows server but found that the G5 performed better and was
much easier to maintain.
I would not run Witango on a 10.2.x server as it proved to be
troublesome for us...

Roland,
Even where I have all Mac clients I use windows for the server for
both FMP
and witango. It is just a better server environment and easier to
maintain
then even linux.
You really should try to move them to windows. I am also a Mac person
from
lisa days but Macs ODBC and server technologies just are not there
yet.

Roland, you would probably save a lot of headaches if you could see
if
the guys at witango will let you trade in your license. I don't
know if
that is possible.
If witango is as unstable for this box on 10.3 as it is on 10.2.8,
we'll
probably try to swap for linux, that being the client's preferred
next
platform. The challenge is that the client's trust of witango is
very low,
since it didn't work on the recommended Mac OS, how can they be sure
it will
run on any platform?
