Re: Using caching and threading to load a page quickly
Thanks Jonah, I am sorry for the late reply. The WordPress's RSS feed is stable but due to excessive resource usage, the newswebsite has been suspended a few times after which we had to call the Hosting company to restore it. To have the rest of the page load and then the feed display later, you'll have to use AJAX to pull in a separate CF page clientside. (You'd still use caching in the feed.cfm so it'd only be slow occasionally.) Would the following code http://collabedit.com/tmjwj/history function as expected in an environment with less users than actual production? If the newswebsite is suspended because it is using too many resources on shared hosting, the thread reading the feed will timeout in 30 seconds, so there will be no results. Will News feed not available be shown? Or, since the variable #feedResult.entriesNews# had a value from the last successful read, those results will be displayed? Another approach would have the feed fetching functionality in a separate template which is run as a scheduled task every 2 minutes. That task can shove the parsed (and potentially formatted) feed into the application scope. (With a lock.) And then your main page can output that variable (with a lock). Then your home page would load as fast as it would as if the feed were local. So, as you suggest, I need to get the feed, write to the machine running CF server which will be used if the RSS feed is unavailable, in case the newswebsite is suspended again. I will make the feed loading a scheduled task and have to call it in the Application.cfm(I know most people have already moved to Application.cfc) and if no response is used, use the previous feed obtained from the past successful fetch. I appreciate your assistance and time. ~| 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:359404 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: CFML restart ACF 10 app server service
explains the problems with CF on shared hosting: http://www.michaels.me.uk/post.cfm/why-coldfusion-railo-are-not- suited-to-shared-hosting Interesting article and a nice refresher for anyone running a shared hosting environment. It goes to show how the technology has changed over the years. In 1998 when I started in this business the best solution for a shared environment was CF because ASP and PHP were not very stable and the web servers of the time forced them to run in context with the single web server process. Therefore a failed ASP or PHP page could easily lock the entire web server whereas with CF running out of context as a service if bad code caused CF to lock HTML pages would still be served.

Re: CFML restart ACF 10 app server service
actually asp and PHP always ran as a separate cgi process because they were always executable or ISAPI, but before the days of application pools, they were not as isolated as they are now. CF 1 - 5 were the same too as it was writen in C language and also ran as a cgi process. The main issue was people not knowing how to setup websites properly and tune the settings and security, most folks back then (including me) would just create a site using the default method and settings, which was not very secure. Back in those days ASP was for Windows and PHP was for Linux and CF was far more RAD than both of them.
