(CA-OPENOSX-COM) OpenOSX Ships OpenWeb 2.5 CD
Business Editors/High-Tech Writers
CROWLEY LAKE, Calif.--(OPENOSX-COM)--Dec. 9th, 2002-- OpenOSX's
today began shipping a new version of their popular OpenWeb for
Mac OS X 10.2.2+ product. This version brings updated software,
dozens of additional enhancements and applications including optional
support for the new and slightly experimental Apache 2 Web Server
series. The product includes separate Apache 1.27 and 2.0.43 based
packages for the long list of software included. Both versions may
be installed on the same system separately or simultaneously.
The OpenWeb product was designed to empower webmasters with a wide
range of ready to use tools as fast, conveniently and easily as
possible. By double-clicking the installer, the OpenWeb CD will
install and fully configure a suite of popular server software and
web-applications including: a secure shopping cart, an advanced
content management and publishing system, web-based graphical server
administration (supports DNS, SSL, Apache, MySQL, Samba and more),
SQL database backends, a search engine, bulletin board system, advertising
management and more.
The product is based on Apache versions 1.3.27 and 2.0.43 with PHP
4.3.0RC2 (built as Apache 1 and 2 modules), Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.12
along with mod_jk 1.2.1 (also built as Apache 1 and 2 modules),
Perl 5.8.0 with mod_perl versions versions 1.27 and 1.99_07, MySQL
3.23.53 with MyODBC 2.50.39, OpenSSL 0.9.6 with mod_ssl 2.8.12.
A free PHP 4.3.0 update will be made available when 4.3.0 is finalized.
Apache 2 offers many new features over previous versions including
enhanced scalability. Tomcat along with mod_jk allows the serving
of Java Serer Pages and Servelets directly from the web server without
the need to use a port number. Perl with the mod_perl module enables
a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This
avoids the overhead of starting an external interpreter and alleviates
the penalty of Perl start-up time, benefiting fast dynamic content.
The OpenWeb package is available immediately for us$60 and upgrades
from previous versions of the product are us$20. OpenOSX also has
complementary, specially priced, O'Reilly book bundles and 6-month
hassle-free CD-subscriptions available. Limited installation support
and documentation is included. Visit the OpenOSX web site for more
details (http://OpenOSX.com/openweb).
