Re: [Simpleweb-Support] Issues upgrading to Simple 6.0.1

[Kai S. <sch...@gm...>]

hey mate,

this list is pretty dead...

I'm still using 4.1.x version of Simple for my project, and forgot I was
still on the mailing list until now. 4.1 came out about 6 years ago.

but to give you pointers only:

1. Simple isn't meant as a ready to go HTTP server... lighttpd does a
better job at that. it's meant for applications that are more advanced and
performance based than any other HTTP can provide, while giving a Java
Environment. Which means that most of Simple users don't use it as server,
nor even a library, but rather they modify it to suit their own needs.
Hence a source release is more important than binary one.

2. Probably due to a version mismatch. If your server runs 5.1.5 well, then
you don't need to worry about anything. If there's a security problem on
5.1.5, we'll share it on the sim...@li... mailing
list, which is where you should be asking these questions. As I said I'm
still running a 4.1.x version of this software, and I've never needed more.

But for some reason I'm still on this mailing list hehe...

Don't upgrade unless to the next big version number unless you need to. you
can run 5.x endlessly for all any of our community cares :)

3. Because this is an old project. The tutorials are awkward, and perhaps
we as a community should work to update them. But they're not incorrect.
Old means reliable and sturdy.

And YES there's a community... not twitter and facebag, or Fox News
fame...  just a steady group of people that have supported the main
developer over many years.



And you get into this community by asking for help, not complaining.
by giving suggestions, and reporting bugs.
by thanking the River that gave us Life (aka the Nial).

and please join the -users mailing list, cause that's where people who know
what they're talking about might actually answer you, instead of the ghost
trolls that haunt this list.

Good Luck Jason,

-Kai
