NewGenLib as start up service and customized URL to access OPAC

[Verus Solutions Support]

Here is the way how I made newgenlib start at boot time:

In our php, python webapps we use memcached to improve database performance. I thought I should share a link about its implementation in java (the first answer to the question is good)
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/731738/java-memcached-client

Our opac is available for public access here: http://sdm.ac.in/opac or here http://sdmcbm.ac.in/opac
I use varnish reverse proxy server for rewriting urls and for webpage-caching.

This is interesting if ever I try a Unix-based system for my server. Thanks for sharing! :-)
And I'm also going to study this reverse proxy server application. It could be what I was looking for all along. Is there a manual or good place to start that you can suggest, and do you know if there's a Windows-based counterpart for this?

You can have a Unix/Linux server in between your windows server and internet. Let Windows be on your LAN and expose your Unix/Linux server to internet, and run your reverse proxy server-- such as Nginx, varnish, Apache--on it. If you can set up basic firewall on Unix/Linux then it will lead to far better security.

Okay, onehomelist, your suggestion sounds good, but let's just say right now we can't afford to have 2 server computers running 24/7. Would you still recommend an NGL and a reverse proxy server setup be installed in one 2.8GHz dual core 2GB RAM computer?

[onehomelist]

It is certainly possible. You can have both NGL and a reverse proxy on Windows OS itself. Install apache webserver. You can have the following configuration in the Apache httpd.conf file. Then try the ip of the server in a client like this http://serverip/newgenlibctxt. Here are the apache conf rules:

ProxyRequests Off

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /newgenlibctxt http://localhost:8080/newgenlibctxt
ProxyPassReverse /newgenlibctxt http://localhost:8080/newgenlibctxt

[pedroparkero]

can the Apache webserver be used as the reverse proxy or are they separate apps? If not, can you recommend a reverse proxy I can use in a Windows environment?

Hi,
Squid can used as a reverse proxy. Its available for windows also.
