deploy Application Server on a web server

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all

Servoy 4.x

A client has asked for Servoy to be deployed on the same server that their website is hosted from

What are the rules governing deploying Servoy in this way - or indeed can it be done ?

Cheers
Harry

what do you mean by the same server?
like server ala hardware?
Thats perfectly possible. Just make sure that your ports are configured correctly so that for example the webservers port 80 is not used by servoy.

If he wants to deploy servoy really inside the webserver software (like its own tomcat) then thats not really possible at the moment.

Hi Johan

Yes the same hardware :-)

it totally depends if the customer owns the server, or if the customer is hosting on a shared server by an ISP
Many ISP’s don’t allow install Servoy(Tomcat) on a shared server.

Hi Harjo

Thanks for the heads up

The client is running their webserver at their ISP

I shall make certain that I ask the question should it come to that - if not I may well call you :-)

This is generally true in my experience also but I have found a Java webhost here in Sydney who will do it, although they were taken aback when I asked for six mySQL dbs to be setup. Maybe I don’t need some of them (udm, user_data, pdf_forms, log_data, examples, repository, bug_db) but I can’t find documentation anywhere that defines what is required for a production environment - apart from the repository.

Servoy just requires a database for the repository. All other databases are sample databases that are not required in a production environment

Ahh that’s a relief! Thank you so much for that info.
