How easy is it to port your webserver?

How easy is it to port an existing teamsite installation (TS 552, Solaris) from iPlanet web server to Apache? Has anyone done this before?

For the most part it should be, I believe, transparent - as the "customer web server" is used to render the pages and not interact directly with TeamSite's backing store or anything like that.

The place I can think of, off hand, that you might run into some additional configuration needs (other than creating the correct iwmount alias within the Apache config file) is for dealing with SSI's.

I think you should probably just keep the TeamSite Administrator's Guide handy when setting up Apache (presumably it will be running on the same port that iPlanet used to?) and go through the configuration steps as-if you had never used iPlanet.

I suggest using preconnect_remap to remap a test branch off to your new apache installation while you are developing this. As in:

[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]
_regex=^/(iw-mount/ar0/main/testbr/.*)=http://apache_server:apache_port/$1
