Sorry for the late reply on this, I only check this list over the web interface which has been down. But didn't want to let this go without a response. If you are getting that many timeouts a day, you have something else going on, because that is certainly not typical for my software. Generally when I see this it's due to someone trying to run on Access with too much traffic...or someone else is tying up a shared DB connection regularly and causing the software to timeout getting connections. There's nothing inherent in the software that will cause timeouts but like most really complex ecommerce applications, it's pretty DB intensive and that's always more noticeable in a shared environment. My customers that run on dedicated servers simply don't have the same problems. What is interesting to me though is that code base really hasn't changed in the last 3 years...but I really didn't see this problem much at all until the last year or so. I'm not sure if that's something in CF7 that causes it to not work as well for shared servers, or if web hosts are just loading more sites and it just can't take the load. Or maybe something else altogether about that environment. And yes, I've got a lot of changes to improve performance of the application coming...but they really would have minimal, if any effect on such problems. They make the pages load a lot faster...but if ColdFusion can't get a DB connection, there's not much I can do about that (other than handle the resulting error). There's only so much I can do software-wise, short of dropping the vast majority of features and giving people a bare-bones application that does very little. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
