Breaking News!

• Web Stack now available for Solaris 10 and RedHat Linux!

• OpenSolaris Web Stack updated for OpenSolaris 2008.11

  There are constant updates to OpenSolaris Web Stack but every once in a while, in support of the release cadence of the Sun OpenSolaris distribution, we have a well tested and consolidated set of feature updates. This latest release is part of build 101 and included in OpenSolaris 2008.11. See the OpenSolaris distribution's documentation for details on how to get the Web Stack components.

Goals

The goal of this project is to address the OpenSolaris community needs for web tier technologies.

Overview

This project is closely associated with a the OpenSolaris SFWNV Project. In a sense, WebStack can be viewed as a sub-project of the SFWNV focused specifically on web tier components.  The code delivered by WebStack project is in fact part of the SFW consolidation.

The WebStack project delivers and maintains all web tier components of OpenSolaris, such as Apache, PHP and Squid - with more to come. Suggestions and contributions are most welcome.

Please join our mailing list if you have an interest on web tier technologies on OpenSolaris.
Refer to the files page for information on how to download and build the WebStack components.

Lower level libraries utilized by WebStack components (examples include curl, tidy, pcre among others) may be delivered either by WebStack or SFW, depending on the scope and general utility of each library.

Web Stack Project Repository

Check out the Web Stack Project IPS Repository!

It contains early-access add-on packages of interest to Web Stack users (please note that all the mature Web Stack packages are available on the default repository, you only need to configure the experimental repository as an authority if you wish to try out the experimental packages).
