fishAbility hosts HERA2 databases. You can have a HERA2 database by purchasing a hosting package from us. Alternatively, you can download the component Open Source software, and host HERA2 yourself.

Our Setup

We run a ZOPE application/web server on a PII 600 computer, operating on a DSL internet connection in Victoria, BC. The back-end databases are either MSAccess or MySQL, (depending on the number of records) hosted on a Pentium computer running Linux Debian with RAIDII.

To host your own HERA2 a typical setup would require:

• Almost any Pentium or greater computer, including your desktop.
• ZOPE application server 2.6.1 running on Python 2.1.3.

and depending on your backend database:

• ZODBCDA 3.0.3, Windows ODBC (distributed with MS Windows), and an MSAccess database or other ODBC-compliant database (MSAccess is a Microsoft product and not Open Source).

or

• ZMySQLDA 2.0.8 (and MySQL-python-1.0.0), and MySQL.
