[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen on OS other than Ubuntu or Debian

[Lazar, Alexey Vladimirovich]

Dan, that's good to know, thank you. I also found your blog post [1] interesting and informative. I guess, I was kind of curious why Apache had to run as opensrf, but not curious enough to ask.

Thinking strategically, fewer barriers and more documentation for running Evergreen on various Linux distributions is a plus, but like you say, return on investment is a consideration. I think any steps in that direction, like your work with SELinux, are helpful though.

So, why does Apache have to run as opensrf user?

I am considering testing some of the documentation I'm editing on an additional OS and was curious what would actually be useful. I noticed the install instructions for OpenSRF and Evergreen include Fedora. Is that because someone is running it for a production Evergreen system?
