texte = Hi JD! the versions are a Windows2000/2003/NT server running IIS, a 32bits linux version for apache 1.3 and 2.0.x on x86 platform, an OS X version for 32 bits apache 1.3 or 2.0.x, and the solaris version, for solaris running apache. There are also a WebStar version and a FreeBSD versions. The installers will work on the specified configurations but may not on others. This means that if you are not confident about manually modifying the configuration files or recompiling a 32 bits apache version, you should stick with the specified OS and versions. Anyway, i would suggest you wait a little more: we are working on all this. - chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD Ready" To: Subject: [WebDNA] WebDNA Newbie Questions Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 21:50:00 -0600 > OK, here's the deal.
