Running with "launchd" (OS X).

For OS X users, we've updated one of our HowTo's, which describes how to run CourseForum or ProjectForum under "launchd". Starting with OS X 10.4 Tiger, launchd is the preferred way to manage automatically run programs — starting the program when the machine first boots, restarting it if its ever stopped, and so on. The HowTo also describes the use of StartupItems, for pre-Tiger systems. See HOWTO: Running as an OS X StartupItem or via Launchd.  ¶ 1:28 PM

Proxying ProjectForum through IIS on Windows.

For those of you who have been looking for an affordable and easy way to have IIS proxy ProjectForum for you (so that ProjectForum appears as one part of your existing IIS site), one of our customers has recommended a solution called ISAPI_Rewrite. While we haven't tried it ourselves, it does appear that you'd be able to set things up with only a line or two of configuration changes. We've updated our Proxying through a Webserver HOWTO with this information.  ¶ 12:04 PM
