Anyone tried installing the Play framework or Scala on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit?

Posted on November 30, 2012

I am going to try it. I was able to install Java 1.7, Scala, and Play! on my other VPS. I was able to set up a Play! project with Scala, it built just fine, and I was able to run the app. I could not get to the server for some reason. I rebooted my VPS, logged in via Putty, and boom the Play! path with no longer work. I will give it a shot.

i am also elvaluating play but not really happy with 512MB

I’m trying to get Play running via Dokku but I constantly run out of memory. I’m using a 1 GB Droplet with 2GB swap. How do I get over this?

 !     Failed to build app with sbt

Hi raiyu. <br> <br>I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS of the 512 MB variety (not that it would help much), but I know Play! was quite slow on my other VPS. I added the swap file so we will see what happens. I know the JVM is a resource hog. I am going to try it. Worst case scenario…I re-image and try something else…not a big deal :-) I am trying to figure out what would work best for the app I am trying to build.
