Dear developers
I have 2 Windows 2003 Servers. One will be used as a Web server with Microsoft IIS. The other is Active Directory / MS SQL 2000 database server. Can I setup servoy on the web server using IIS and then jdbc to connect to my database server.
Thanks in advance

Yes. That is no problem at all. Just enter the host name or ip adress in the database connection string when setting up the database connections.
wow!
Can I setup servoy on the web server using IIS
you can’t use servoy WITH IIS, you can install Servoy besides IIS (Servoy (tomcat) uses a different port default (8080)
FYI, I’m not sure how much control you have over the enviroment there, but if possible I recommend a Linux, MySQL, Apache, OpenLDAP enviroment, over a Windoze, Microsoft IIS, SQL Server enviroment.
I don’t mean to start a war, just my experience…especially with SQL Server.
Hi Scott
I use MySQL (installed as a WAMP server) on a windows platform for both data and repostiory server. Has always worked first time every time, and performance is very good. All my deployments so far have been on a windows server (2000 and 2003).
I am looking at setting up a LAMP server for both remote data connnections for my customers into MySQL as well as setting up a servoy installation so i can demo my soutions remotely.
Can you recommend a linux distro for this setup (the least complex)? The shortlist is ubuntu and centos (both free) but i’m open to all suggestions.
Well as you know there are a lot of flavors if Linux.
Ubuntu is known as a great desktop version of Linux, but not a lot of people use it for a server (yet).
My favorite has always been RedHat/Fedora. You can get Fedora for free, but it is bleeding edge. Also, as you mentioned, centos is free and basically the same as RedHat. They just change the logos.
Other people find Mandrake (aka Mandriva) an easier to use version of Redhat that branched a while ago.
I’d recommend downloading and playing with whatever you are comfortable with. Ubuntu isn’t a bad choice. Its popular because of ease of use and easy installers. If it were me, I would try centos because it is made for setting up as a Server.
Also, if you want easy to use administration, I always like to install webmin on Linux servers. Available at http://www.webmin.com/ . It makes remote management very easy, and has a nice GUI.
Hi Scott
Will probably play around with both. i’ll let you know how i go (which i prefer)
Thanks for the advice
Any future plans for Servoy to be integrated with Microsoft IIS :roll:
How would you see this. Is IIS a Java Application Server as well?
Or do you just want to reuse the same ports as IIS uses?
IIS is a microsoft Internet Information Services Server similar to Apache Server from Sun. I prefer to use IIS because its tightly integrated with Windows 2003 Server instead of installing additional Internet Service such as Apache
Sorry I post wrong Explanation here. I was explaining to someone else what is IIS. Yes I would like to reuse some of the ports but as I said Im not sure because I am very much a novice in web development
