Witty Machine

This is a continuation of the "Witty Adventure"

Here I'm going to go over the configuration I've chosen for the Wt installation on OpenSuse 11 so that it runs as an Apache2 FastCGI module.

Machine Overview

I've gone for quite a limited VMWare machine setup.

The machine itself has 2 CPUs, 256mb of RAM and a 4GB hard drive.


Again for simplicity I'm using a bridged network configuration.

GUI?

As this is going to be a web server I don't need a GUI; plus I've only got 4gb available ... "only 4gb" he says, my first computer 'only' had ... oh dear, I'm sounding old! :)





Default Packages

The default installation doesn't contain the packages I need so I'll need to do some tweaking.

I've selected the following additional packages:

# Web and LAMP Server
# Base Development
# C/C++ Development
# Web Development







Summary

That's it, let the installation do the rest.

So far I haven't done anything special for Wt.

I'm sure there will be other packages/rpms that I'll need later, but I'll go through those when/if I need to.




On to the Wt Installation.
