Hi folks, I'm back on this list after a few of years (although I never stopped using LC). I'd like to get opinions and experiences about on-rev...
I have been using the service for almost 3 years via 3 different accounts, and have built professional apps & websites on LC & on-rev, and several companies are using these apps and have built their business around them. Everything worked seamlessly for almost 2 years, but last february & march, we started experiencing huge & frequent server (thor) crashes and slowdowns, which put us in a terrible situation towards our clients who threatened to sue us because we weren't delivering the service they paid for... Meanwhile, one of our accounts was moved to a new server (pancake) but it appeared that something went wrong during the move, because we experienced random bugs in some scripts that lead to corrupted data in DBs and random errors in automatically generated pdf files (invoices for instance)... To solve this problem, I had to move all scripts, files and DBs to another account of ours still on thor... Last but not least, for the last few days, we had a few server crashes again, and of course our clients yelling at us... Last week-end I also noticed some erratic behavior during ftp transfer that lead to corrupted scripts and huge bugs in web pages... Searching through the list archives I found a few posts mentioning that thor was "down again", but nobody seemed to be in a panic business-wise because of that... So finally, here's my question / request : we have the feeling that most of the problems are due to the fact that thor is a shared server and that some other on-rev users are playing dirty games, and we are thinking of moving our accounts to a dedicated server. Before subscribing to on-rev, I had a Revolution engine installed on a dedicated Linux server an experienced crashes or slowdowns only 2 or 3 times a year, not every 2 or 3 days... Does anyone on this list have built rather sophisticated with Livecode & on-rev ? If yes, how do you deal with all those server problems ? Thanks in advance for any opinion, and sorry for the long post... jbv _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
