Re: OAS 4.0.8.1 on NT 4.0 SP 5 stability

OKOK We tried using NT for this but abandoned it. The installs went so bad that the product never really made it to the point where it was 'running' at all. On one machine we needed to reformat the hard drive and on the other we took the typical configuration and couldn't layer in the jservlet cartridge after that. The installer wouldn't allow it ... and it wouldn't allow it to be removed! After a week of wrestling with it we wound up going to Solaris and life has been good ever since.

Sounds like you have had much more success than us and just need some tuning. Could it be something silly like 'not enough memory'?

Hope it helps, Bob
