Run both Tomcat and PHP

[Thanont Manorotkul]

I am going to buy Plesk V.12 but there is some question that I would like to confirm before ordering this great program. My server is running both tomcat and php at the moment and using forwarding port technique. I am not quite sure about how Plesk manage this solution. Could anyone please advice me on this matter. Another thing, will this bring me into the trouble in the future? Thank you in advance.

Looking forward to hearing every solution.

Not sure that already installed Tomcat and php will work correctly in Plesk. Plesk should be installed over clean Windows installation (more details in Plesk Installation Guide). After that PHP and Tomcat can be installed as Plesk Components and Plesk will be able to manage them.

I have been told to uninstall everything before installing Plesk, I am fine to do so. My worry is about how Plesk manages PHP and Tomcat. My server needs to run both PHP and Tomcat together, I got only one serve right now. Does it just use forward technique or something else? Will it consume my resource's server a lot? Please kindly advice.

Why not? Both are supported - http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...-for-windows-installation-upgrade-info.html#6

Thank you for your quick response. I have no doubted on Plesk compatibility of components. Just wondering on how it works because I could not find any document stating about how these two services (php and java) operate together.

There a lot of Plesk servers where PHP, Tomcat, ASP.NET, Python, Perl, etc. successfully operate together. I do not understand what's the problem here? These different webscript technologies can work together on any hosting platform.

I am sorry for making you misunderstand. My point is I have been facing the problem on using both PHP and Tomcat together on my server. It is somehow impact my server to run Java (website and web application) extremly slow. My server needs to restart every night. I do not know Plesk is the best solution that could solve this problem.

This common problem with low performance can be caused by a lot of reasons and it is not depends on Plesk installed or not. This issue should be investigated, troubleshooted and fixed directly on your server.
