We are currently running eXist on an in-house 64-bit Windows Vista box: 3.16GHz Intel Dual Core CPU 8GB RAM. Performance is good but we now wish to move eXist to a Linux OS. I realise this is a bit of a, 'how long is piece of string?' question, but can anyone give any guidance or tips for spec'ing a Linux box to provide similar performance. Note: this will be a leased box in a data center somewhere. The application is mainly running Lucene queries on c.10000 XML docs, each about 500KB. Thanks and regards, Roy |

Hello Roy, I have added some instructions for setting up eXist under Ubuntu. They are in the exist-stack.xml under trunk. Please take a look at these instructions and let me know what additional information you require.

In the meantime, you could front eXist with nginx, the details for nginx reverse proxying can be found here - http://www.exist-db.org/production_web_proxying.html On 25 June 2010 12:08, Loren Cahlander <lor...@gm...> wrote: > The document is still in development.

I will update the instructions to show that. It is very simple, I just have to review my steps that I did and then document them.

Hi Loren, The instructions you give for installing eXist are rather basic, compared to those posted by Samuel Abels on March 2. What are your recommendations? Do you have any recommendations concerning which Java distribution to use with eXist on Ubuntu? I notice you are using openjdk.

> Do you have any recommendations concerning which Java distribution to use > with eXist on Ubuntu? I notice you are using openjdk. Do NOT use openjdk. eXist-db is developed and tested against Sun JDK 6. It is also known to work well with Apple's JDK 6 on MacOSX. I would also imagine that there are no problems with IBM JDK's, I used to use these myself but have not for some time. In the past we have seen issues with various open source jdk's! -- Adam Retter eXist Developer { United Kingdom } ad...@ex... irc://irc.freenode.net/existdb |
