Hi, In my book, both RHE and Fedora are Linux products. So they are listed as supported OS.

Hi Hans, Your are right! Sorry, I rewrote the question, what I really want to know, is RH Enterprise or Fedora level of adoption at EZ System

Hi Lazaro designIt are using successfully using Redhat Enterprise Linux to host a number of eZPublish sites. We have not encountered any problems and this includes using Apache2. A minor issue is that mysql has a licensing issue that currently prevents version 4 being part of the distribution.

Hi Bruce, Good to hear that from you can you tell us, which RH Enterprise version are you using ? Also some info about the hardware (RAM memory, HD room, and Processors) powering your EZP sites ? Thanks

I would recommend to compile apache 1.3.29 and PHP always from source because:
- redhat has some weird patches in there
- redhat's compilation is only DSOs and shared modules, which makes things slower (up to 30%) than a static apache PHP module, with compiled in all extensions.
- redhat now comes with apache 2, which is not ready for production yet (in combination with PHP)
regards,
Derick

Lazaro, Redhat ES - U1 works well with eZ 3 as long as you use Apache 1.x. We compile both PHP and Apache. Its long life cycle is the primary reason for selecting the distro. It costs true, but in the long term you and your site benefit.

Hi, First, thanks to all for the feedback Tony, we had also seen the benefits of the RH Enterprise long life cicle, but we were concern by EZP shorter upgrade cicle, after receiving the feedback of the comunity, we have concluded that compiling php and apache from the sources for RH ES or RH Fedora is the way to go Best Regards

For information: eZ systems uses Debian Linux on all our production servers with apache 1.3 and php 4.3. However during development we use a mix of Debian, Mandrake and SuSE. But eZ publish is not Linux distribution specific. What's important is that you have Apache 1.3, a new PHP and MySQL/PosrgreSQL, the Linux version don't matter much at all. But you should, as Derick says, complile these from source to get best performance. MySQL is however not recommended to compile from source ( recommendation comes from MySQL AB ). --bård
