Share the same server?

Share the same server?
I bought two copies of links SQL 2.3. I may buy the third copy soon. Now I use two small machines to run each. My workplace asks me why I don't put Links on the same server as other applications. My impression is that Links does not share the same machine with others even though several copies can run on the same machine. Am I right or wrong?

Hi,

There's no reason you can't have two or three Links SQL installed on the same server, even if there are other applications. Your only reason would be load. If the server is heavily loaded (lots of traffic) you may want to separate things, but if it's for an intranet, or the machine is running smoothly, yes everything can be on one machine.

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

I'm planning on purchasing a second license very soon and will be hosting on the same server. Will both copies be able to use mod Perl or would problems arise using it this way?

Many thanks.

Hi,

With 2.0.4 there would be problems, however we recently fixed this in Gossmaer Mail 2, and will fix Links SQL as well shortly (I can email you a new Links::Config if you need it sooner, it's a simple change).

Cheers,

Alex

I most likely wont be using a second copy until 2.1 is out as the first Links SQL site is still in development, but will email you if the config is needed sooner.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Which changes would be needed in Links::Config exactly? Which line would need updating?
Very appreciated.
