Hi robert:

 

Thanks a lot for your reply. It’s very clear and i’m going to try to explain
all of this.

 

Fortunately,  we will use Oracle !!!

We were on 5.5.23 for Sakai 2.4.x - now on 5.5.26 for Sakai 2.5.x. We try to
stick with the QA'd versions as much as possible to limit our exposure to
bugs.

I would personally tell the external company to let it go (or find a
different company) - as it is *much* more important to use the application
server which the software you are trying to run is Q/A'd against, vs. the
operating system. I'm basically saying that there is a much higher
probability that Sakai needs a specific Tomcat version than an OS does.

Which MySQL version are they pushing? Hopefully not the one that comes w/
RHEL!!!!

I don't think theres likely to be any security issues from using the earlier
version since vendors who ship the earlier version take pains to backport
any security fixes from new releases.

However, I would be wary of using any version that's not the standard
package downloaded from apache.

I have tried to use the version shipped with redhat a couple of times and
always had trouble. It always refuses to start, exiting with weird error
messgaes.
