Does i need ask to my host if he could install LASZLO?

[Capablanca]

Hi folks,

I have a simple website in a shared server... My NOOB question is: does the enterprise who HOSTs my website install the LASZLO server in their servers? At the moment, they only has TOMCAT installed. Could i just put some JARs in my LIB file and RUN my Laszlo Application or must the enterprise who HOSTs my website first install the LASZLO in the server?

Best regards...

Capablanca.

Anybody shed any light on this?

As I also have to rent webspace and would need to know If my host would have to participate in the install process!

Sadly, Laszlo doesn't run well if all the classes are part of a webapp only. Most classes need to be out in the common/lib dir of tomcat. If you don't do that, you get ClassCastExceptions when XML parsers are instantiated. I spent a few hours trying to find a workaround, but I couldn't find a reliable one.

If you have a broadband connection, for test purposes you could run your own home office server giving you complete control over localhost Tomcat configuration.

Open an account with http://www.dyndns.org and install a client such as http://noeld.com.

But I must add ..

this is a low traffic solution and a temporary measure for testing your applications.

When you have your dynamic address just point to

http://www.mydomainname.dyndns.org:8080/lps-2.2.1/

Make sure you have a firewall and security patches installed!
