It's Off-Topic for this list, so I guess off line would be better to handle this, but i have a hosting client who's using PHP on my server, adn is complaining that its running slow. He says the reason his CMS is running slowly is because the site is on a windows box, and PHP is not normally recommended on Windows OS.
I think that's bullsh*t, and a cop out for excusing other problems, but I'd like a more informed opinion from someone who knows PHP environments. (I have never done more than a few pages in PHP - never found a reason to). Here's what he says: [quote] The site however seems to be having some grave performance problems. On examination, it seems that the site is running on a windows box, an unusual choice for a php server. As it stands, we cant always get into the admin system due to timeouts, and it seems the box simply isn't optimised for PHP/Mysql , or is somewhat oversubscribed? PHP generally is not recomended for usage with IIS due to ISAPI. What would be the odds of moving over to a Lamp setup with either eaccelerator, ACP, or Zend Optimisor, (eaccel and APC are Open source, so won't be a pocket hit). I'm not sure if you have any Linux boxes provisioned, but as it stands, the current server just isn't coping with our site. [/quote] I should add that the box isnt over-subscribed by a long shot, and i have coldfusion sites on that same box that are screaming along. Would any of you care to comment on this? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309883 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
