Greg... The 503 error could also be related to the web server (Apache or IIS).
I'd just tell your friends that ANY site would go down under the traffic sent by Drudge Report unless it had lots of resources. Hell Twitter has load issues weekly and they're running Rails (I think). There's NO language that's "Scalable" right out of the box. It all has to do with HOW the site is written. andy -----Original Message----- From: Greg Luce [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 6:57 AM To: cf-talk Subject: www.cbo.gov down. CF to blame? I have some friends piling on Coldfusion because the www.cbo.gov website is down. Drudge linked to it I guess and crashed the site and they are blaming CF. The error is HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable. Isn't this an IIS issue? How would you respond to "well the cbo.gov, it's running on coldfusion. so no big shock there" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335788 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
