I'm new to symphony (but a guru at PHP) and this is my "frist post". I've been taking the tutorial off and on since 04/21 (between reading the paper book I purchased and doing my other job duties), and in that time, I've been frustrated by the number of times the http://www.symfony-project.org/ site has been down. Specifically the Askeet tutorial (I assume they're on the same site). It is down right now in fact. L
Is this a problem with the hosting provider or symphony itself? Might I suggest http://www.nagios.org to monitor and alert someone whenever this occurs. I'm getting concerned, as we're developing a rather large site in this framework, and this constant down-time doesn't instill a sense of security or "enterprise-iness" (if I may coin a new word). What is the largest known site to use symphony? Can it handle hundreds of thousands of users? Can it handle millions of users/requests? (currently we do have a load balancer, two LAP web servers and two mySQL servers) I've never been one for using frameworks due to all the overhead, and already I'm noticing there are excessive SQL queries. Often times the same query multiple times on the same page! I'm sure some of this can be fixed with refactoring, or direct SQL, but this is also another problem I've experienced with Ruby on Rails (and I assume all frameworks have this symptom). Nonetheless this is what the company I joined is using, so alas it's too late. Don't get me wrong, I think a framework is wonderful if you want a quick prototype, but they seem to try and be all things to all people, and that doesn't come free. The cost is usually either complexity or speed (or lack thereof). But I digress. I look forward to the day I'm competent enough in symphony to actually start coding "brain - to - keys" as it were, as I am with plain PHP. Perhaps then I will be swayed. In any event, can someone please get the site back up and working ASAP. every minute it's down is another minute I slip behind in my learning and ultimately this is sliding our limited-funded company. So, in this case, time truly is money. Thanks! I cross-posted as I wasn't sure which is the best email to send this to. And with the site down, I had no direct email "contact" information. What is the usual protocol for notification of this type of event?
