RE: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram
With RAM being so cheap, is it worth worrying about buying more? I personally wouldn't run a server with less than 2gb RAM. -Original Message- From: Gerald Guido [mailto:gerald.gu...@gmail.com] Sent: 02 May 2011 19:43 To: cf-talk Subject: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram We are looking at a Win 2008 VPS for some low traffic hobby sites and for general dev purposes and I was wondering if one gig of ram would suffice. I would most probably be running IIS 7, Mysql 5.5 (or MSSQL 2008 Express), CF9 std. and possibly a name server and/or a (S)FTP server. I would only be running a couple static html sites and the following Cf apps: one instance of Blog.cfc, one instance of Project Tracker http://projecttracker.riaforge.org And a couple instance of miniwiki http://miniwiki.riaforge.org/. I know that Win 2003 and Centos could handle that readily using a gig of ram but I have yet to work with 2008 server other than installing and playing with it for a couple of weekends. Has anyone had any experience with such a rig and care to pass along any advice? As always many TIA G! No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram
if you were only running IIS and CF it might possibly cope, but in general I have found that 2GB is a minimum for windows 2008 as you will also be running MySQL and MSSQL, then I would say you definitely need 2GB minimum. I presume you will be running 64bit, which also uses more RAM. But don't forget the beauty with a VPS is that you can easily scale up the memory.

RE: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram
If 32 Bit, go 4GB. We ran Windows 2008 with CF8 on 2GB... it did not cut it. Needed 4GB. -Original Message- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:r...@michaels.me.uk] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 3:20 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram if you were only running IIS and CF it might possibly cope, but in general I have found that 2GB is a minimum for windows 2008 as you will also be running MySQL and MSSQL, then I would say you definitely need 2GB minimum.
