[EP-tech] Re: VM requirements
Dear Nick,
I am not very sure about Windows installation. As I know EPrints is very light-weight software. A generic web application installation of Windows should satisfy. If the resources are indeed not enough, it should be very easy to add extra CPU, Memory and Disk into a VM at a later stage.
Best Wishes,
Jia

Thanks Jia!
I'm not certain but I think we run Windows rather than Linux...would that make a difference?

Dear Nick,
I listed our demo server (a VM) running EPrints 3.8.8 for your reference. I believe EPrints is really a resource saving software.
CPU: 1 CPU
Memory: 2GB RAM
Total Disk: 60GB (now we only use 6GB, so I believe you could downgrade the amount to 30GB for instance)
MYSQL version: 5.0.26
Perl version: 5.8.8
I would suggest to partition (mount) the disk into at least three:
* /
* /opt/eprints3
* /var/lib/mysql
Our demo server is running on an old OS - SUSE 10 SP3, therefore the versions of Perl and MYSQL are quit old. It would be better to run latest OS. We use SUSE, but I believe other Linux distributions should be fine.
Best Wishes,
Jia

Subject: [EP-tech] VM requirements
I've finally persuaded my line manager to let me have a virtual server to test EPrints possibly to replace our current commercial repository software.
Our IT service has asked for vCPUs, RAM and Disk requirements in order to cost the project. Also any other specs I might need to emphasise - MySQL etc. Is anybody able to advise?
Thanks
