Re: Reactor For CF Reactor on shared hosting

[Brian Rinaldi]

Thanks Sean. I actually got it all up and running to host the *new* open source list (http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist/). Everything seems to be fine. I did run into a case-sensitivity issue with their MySQL, but after fixing the calls in the code, I just had to remove the previously generated code (and switch back to dev mode) and it recreated everything perfectly.

This is because I've been beating up their CEO about their support
staff adding mappings and breaking sites!

You don't need a mapping for Reactor (or Fusebox or Model-Glue or
ColdSpring or any of those frameworks). Just put the framework in a
directory under your webroot so /reactor is a valid root-relative
path.

I know you got this figured out but I just wanted to reiterate -
mappings on shared hosts are very, very bad because a /foo mapping for
customer A will break customer B's site if they have a physical
directory /foo.

I haven't implemented Reactor on a shared host yet but I plan to do so
fairly soon (on HMS).
