What happened to ErlDocs?

[Kai Janson (kotedo)]

Guys,

I was trying to lookup some functions and parameters and all I got was
… nothing.

Anyone?

What, happened to ErlDocs where. The erldocs.org website? generated erldocs? We need a bit more context to help.

Crazy, http://erlapi.prepor.ru/docs/ appears to be down, too!

Could always run a local version of it: https://github.com/prepor/erlapi/tree

Yeah, I think he meant the site http://erldocs.com/

Hi,

I'm hoping to launch a Zotonic website soon. Any suggestions regarding security beyond the ususal restriction of ports and update of patches?

Would you recommend?

- filewall?
- front-end proxy such as Apache or Nginx?

Anything else?

I'm not a network wizard, so welcome any input.

Many thanks,

Hi,

How can I change my Erlang Camp list e-mail address from ll...@paisite.com to ll...@writersglen.com?

Thanks,

LRP

Just subscribe again through google groups with the new address and delete your old one.

 Your site will only listen on a single port - 80 - so unless you are blocking things like script tags and so on a firewall will not help you. What do you anticipate using the proxy to do?

If you're going to live life on the on the edge and deploy an web site that runs on Erlang, why would you want to put Apache in front of it?

[Tristan Sloughter]

If you need a reverse proxy go with Nginx. I'm using it at work in front of an Erlang website. But if you are just running Zotonic on a server and opening 80 from that there is no need for a proxy in front of it. So it depends on your needs.

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for your response.

What are the benefits of running a reverse proxy in front of an Erlang website?

I note that the Zotonic docs seem to recommend Varnish or Nginx. Is for performance, security, or both?

Thanks,

Lloyd

A reverse proxy is used for security and a few other things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy.

Using Varnish or Nginx over apache is for performance reasons. And its just easier to configure :)
