when i run the installGemstone2.4-MacOSX.sh script install gemstone,
it runs fine, and i can start everything up as expected.. the only
thing i notices is that it installs everything into:
/opt/gemstone/<more path here>..
if you follow this down further, it links back the directory where the
installation was performed..
my only concern is.. when i move this to a production environment, i
will be running several gemstones; one for each application.
how will i set this up in the production environment?
There are several approaches for that. I myself created some helper scripts that generate a directory skeleton where a stone can live in. So you can have as many stones as you like to have. You can find the scripts here
They are written in sh/bash because I wanted to have no extra dependencies. If you know ruby you might have a look at Ottos stuff at
