Here's what they say (quote from their reply to my post in their forums): "If you are worried about uptime, you should not be on a Cold Fusion MX server. We keep emailing this to our customers, putting it in newsletters etc. but people are not understanding that this is a complete rewrite of the Macromedia Cold Fusion product, and there are many pieces that don't work properly at this time. It is somewhat compatible, and many features do work, but there are load issues and connectivity issues to ODBC. The biggest problem is their ODBC service which they had to create in order to connect from JRUN/JDBC to Windows native ODBC. The ODBC services stall just as they did in Cold Fusion 4.5 before service packs. Do not jump into CFMX with production sites thinking everything will run smoothly and that you will get the uptime you would on a mature product like Cold Fusion 5.0. Jumping into CFMX is like getting in a prototype airplane… you have no idea what could happen. This is a warning to all our customers because we DO NOT want to see our customers struggling to convert pieces of their applications at the last second or going crazy because CFMX isn't running like Cold Fusion 5.0. We have done our best to make CFMX stable, we have dropped the number of sites per server to around 75 sites per server just to help until they come out with service packs. Someone on the forum once said, they found it “interesting” when I talked about CF, implying that my comments are biased in some way, I want to assure all of our CF customers that is not the case. My comments are based on our knowledge and experience from monitoring the servers 24x7 and many hours and late nights with Macromedia support, and Microsoft support and the list goes on. We support many technologies and work very hard to do so above and beyond expectations and hope we enable our customers use them to their fullest potential." Now isn't that a mouthful. > > > and have serious connectivity problems (page not found, browser hangups > > etc). > > never heard this. > > references to them from others but as for myself I'm having severe > > problems with two CFMX plans I've bought recently. > > what problems? Page not found errors, DNS problems (browesrs can't find the pages even though both PINGs and tracerts work all right), unresponsive site, Internal server errors, the whole shebang.
