Installed Aware no problem, it works great
Testing works great locally on XP windows localhost etc
Now I want to upload to a LAMP hosting environment.
Does this create a problem
Do you have an hosting solution providers that allready have awareIM server installed

There are no conceptual problems with running Aware IM in the hosting environment.
If you can have a dedicated machine in your hosting environment then there are no problems whatsoever - just make sure that you can start/stop the Aware IM server remotely. If the machine will be shared with other users then there may be resource sharing issues that largely depend on the capabilities and policies of the shared environment that the host provides. We are not familiar with the LAMP hosting environment, so tell us a bit more about it.
Basically the host has to permanently run the Aware IM server. So you will probably need to be able to start/stop the server remotely. Also, if you want to run Aware IM with MySQL database, the host has to be able to allocate two MySQL databases for it. Finally, the RAM capabilities of the host have to be such that it can accomodate the Aware IM server.

LAMP
LAMP is:
L = Linux
A = Apache
M = Mysql
P = PHP
so our hosted dedicated server is operating with a apache
we have control over mysql databases etc
basically what u are saying is
1 - develop using aware on windows
2 - upload to server
3 - deploy on any server having aware server running (not apache)
QUESTION:
If that server is now running under awareserver we would not then be able to run our other sites from that server because they need apache
or can both be running?
I have both open on localhost and seems to be fine
Therefore the finished product created by awareIM should be run standalone on a dedicated server

Some comments to your reply first:
develop using aware on WindowsIf you mean develop locally, then probably Windows is the best option, however, you can also develop on Linux desktop or Mac
deploy on any server having aware server running(not apache)
Apache and Aware IM can co-exist peacefully on the same machine provided that they do not share the same ports (default ports are different) and you can also re-configure both Apache and Aware IM to use different ports
If that server is now running under awareserver we would not then be able to run our other sites from that server because they need apache
or can both be running?
You can run your other sites from the same machine (see answer to the previous question). Basically you will have two web servers (Apache and Tomcat) listening on different ports. It is also possible to run Tomcat from Apache, in which case Aware IM will use Tomcat integrated in the Apache and will not use its own Tomcat.
Therefore the finished product created by awareIM should be run standalone on a dedicated server
Not necessarily as follows from the previous answers.
Does this answer your question?

perfect
like i said servers run peacefully together at local ...
that helps as development happens on windows environment and deployment is on linux machines
so your product is passing my tests
