Some are beginning to nitpick the SSL cipher sort order which older versions don't allow you to specify. Fortunately most of them are not being ultra-strict about that... yet. -Justin ~| 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:357466 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Windows server 2008 or 2012
I would do 2012, as the end-of-life for the OS would be further out, and pushes any kind of required upgrade out to a further date. The learning curve is not beyond an experience with 2008, IMHO. OS version matters little with PCI compliance. If anything 2012 should be more up-to-date and secure (HA, Windows joke contained within).

btw if the url rewrite problem is an issue for you, then you could perhaps use Helicon APE instead.

Re: Windows server 2008 or 2012
> I am looking at changing VPS providers to maintain and upgrade > CF I have an option of Windows 2008 or 2012 server. Server 2012 is a solid platform though it takes some getting used to the GUI interface updates. It's grown on me since I started dealing with it. Server 2008 still feels new, but it is now pushing six years old so I wouldn't deploy anything new on it unless I had to. If you're using CF10 with Server 2012 there is a known issue (CF Bug 3488063; see https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3488063) which impacts custom 404 handlers and anything that relies on the URL Rewrite module, so if your site relies on those features then do some serious testing before deploying live. We are actively working with Adobe engineering (who is working with the Microsoft IIS team) to resolve that one as it's holding us up from upgrading a bunch of CF 8 servers to CF 10 Enterprise, but aside from that everything else should be smooth sailing. -Justin Scott ~| 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:357461 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Windows server 2008 or 2012
The main thing about 2008 is compatibility. You know more things are going to be compatible with it because it's been around longer. If you know everything you'll be using is compatible with 2012, then it shouldn't be a problem to make the jump to it.

Re: Windows server 2008 or 2012
Agree with Russ. Having used both, I prefer 2012 now - once I got used to the new interface. -J On Jan 16, 2014, at 2:54 PM, Russ Michaels wrote: > > if your starting from scratch then you may as well start with 2012, there > is no reason not to except the elarning curve if your not used to it, but > you will have to do it at some point anyway, so may as well be now. > > > On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 7:27 PM, Rob Voyle wrote: > >> >> Hi Folks >> >> I am looking at changing VPS providers to maintain and upgrade CF >> I have an option of Windows 2008 or 2012 server. >> >> The reccommendation is 2008 and was wondering what others think. >> I spent a week a year ago migrating from 2003 to 2008 and would rather not >> go >> thru that hassle again in a few years time and so I think starting with >> 2012 >> would be a more practical option. >> >> One of my ongoing concerns is PCI compliance. >> >> any reason not to go with 2012 (cost is the same) >> >> Thanks >> Rob >> Robert J.

Re: Windows server 2008 or 2012
if your starting from scratch then you may as well start with 2012, there is no reason not to except the elarning curve if your not used to it, but you will have to do it at some point anyway, so may as well be now.

Windows server 2008 or 2012
Hi Folks I am looking at changing VPS providers to maintain and upgrade CF I have an option of Windows 2008 or 2012 server. The reccommendation is 2008 and was wondering what others think. I spent a week a year ago migrating from 2003 to 2008 and would rather not go thru that hassle again in a few years time and so I think starting with 2012 would be a more practical option. One of my ongoing concerns is PCI compliance. any reason not to go with 2012 (cost is the same) Thanks Rob Robert J. Voyle, Psy.D.
