stable server application we have ever had running. Absolutely no problems with
speed, resource usage, compatibility or stability. I have not had even one
complaint from a client. This server supports a variety of databases (all on
remote machines)
That is the upside.
The only downside was that it was a real bear to install and configure, but once
all the hacks were in place, it has been maintenance free ever since.
We intend to continue to offer shared hosting on the Linux platform
One major difference people must realize that the dev boxes are different
animals than production servers, especially shared servers. Most people that I
know that are running dev installations seem to be very happy with the results.
Most of the reported problems seem to be with the production models, and I am
pretty well sure there are not "thousands" of installations of this type yet in
existence.

Subject: CFMX + Linux-shared = not stable?
| Hi
|
| My current hosting provider (no names) is abandoning CFMX shared hosting under
Linux for "stability reasons". They will provide support for us current CFMX
customers. I consider this provider a respectable and responsible company (that
is why I will not mention it) but I am concerned with this issue. I have a few
questions:
|
| 1- is it true that CFMX is not as stable under Linux (RedHat here) as in other
platforms?
|
| 2- did the hosting provider make the right choice, or were they just not
proficient enough on CF? (as far as I knew they even had Macromedia
collaboration for server fine-tuning for months)
|
| 3- I have looked at other providers (CFDynamics, CFXHosting, CrystalTech) but
they seem rather limited (unless you go for the "extra-special" US$ 100/mo
plan... CrystalTech does seem to have an interesting shared plan)... I don't
want this post to become a "buy-my-hosting-plan" propaganda post... I just need
to know whats wrong with CFMX + Linux (if there is anything wrong) and where can
I put my trust as far as CFMX is concerned
|
| Any input?
|
| Mauricio
|
| P.S. Good thing we can also develop using PHP but we are now left with no
Remoting, CFCs and all the other goodies... :( (I know there's AMFPHP but we've
had some issues with non-english characters)
