>>Application servers are inherently complex, and it takes a certain level of expertise to set them up. There's no getting around that.
You're right. However, there are two approches that can be taken in installation procedures. One year ago I had to move from a W2003 to a W2008 server and to a new version of IIS. I discovered that in Windows and IIS every thing was locked and blocked and nothing was working out of the box. I had to learn every thing since IIS 7 is completely different. So I had to unlock, give permissions etc. until I could have a site operational. On the other hand, the CF server was operational right away, but then I had to secure it. So you're right when you say that it takes a certain level of expertise, but this level can be used in two different directions. The first is "secure by default", the second more like "usecure by default" The first may be more frustrating, but the second is kind of more dangereous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358188 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
