OpenBSD worked quite nicely. Until we tried to actually run stuff on it in production. Within minutes of the Apache changeover, it was kernel panicing like mad :(. Looks like sun4v support isn't quite there yet. So our solution was to try Solaris 10 again, and we think we've gotten it just right this time. We built our own packager from scratch (800 lines of delicious Perl) to keep things like Apache, suPHP, PHP, and all of its lovely dependencies up to date and running properly automatically. We've just gotten apache itself configured and running, and hopefully in the not too distant future we'll have it running in production. Also, we beat the native LDAP client into working, so no dirty OpenLDAP haxes. --[[User:Werdz|Werdz]] 00:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC) | OpenBSD worked quite nicely.

Well, Solaris worked happily (ish) for a while. It held the web server for a while, we experimented with various ways to keep it up to date easily, etc, but in the end just couldn't get it to a stage where you could update it with less then a day's preparation and the patience of a saint. So on the 20th of February 2010 we bit the bullet and put Linux back on it. And it's working. Perfectly. Thank fsck. --[[User:Werdz|Werdz]] 21:00, 21 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
