I understand you are trying to be constructive here, but in this case I do not need to be lectured to. What you need to understand is that you have about 10% of the story. If you'd like to know the WHOLE story on why this entire project has gone awry, and why I've been forced to do the things I've had to do, I'll be happy to fill you in, ad nauseum, off list. I didn't want to bore the list with the REST of my woes, it's bad enough I needed to solicit help (yes, urgently) when my project was done and would not deploy. I'm fully aware of everything that's gone wrong that's LED UP to this point, and could explain it all to you... but at this time, I just need to solve the problem, and have respectfully asked for help -- and have received a tremendous amount of it, for which I am truly grateful. The "whys" are clear to everyone, and I am not a noob in that area. This project became a last minute, intense, got-screwed-and-gotta-get-back-on-track nightmare. Everyone indeed has been very patient with me, and I am totally in their debt.

Survey app barfing under load It was kind of a rhetorical question, meant to enunciate the mandatory nature of load testing prior to deployment. With free tools like the Microsoft Web Stress Tool ( <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E2C0585A-062A-439E -A67D-75A89AA36495&displaylang=en> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E2C0585A-062A-439E- A67D-75A89AA36495&displaylang=en) there's really no reason to have to go through this particular kind of pain. I'm not trying to sound abrasive, and I do mean this criticism in a constructive way: This is the second post you've sent to the list in the last four days with the words "URGENT" in the subject that describe some problem with the deployment of your site. I am indeed trying to help (see my other post with some suggestions) as are others, but I think one thing that is clear is that you need a bit more discipline in the way you test and deploy your applications. I hope that your problems get solved, but I also hope that this experience helps you realize the problems in your current process and what needs to be improved. One needs to perform diligent testing before deploying any public web application, but when using pre-beta code like Reactor or when your testing and production servers are running differing versions of CF server, then thorough testing is simply mandatory.
