So how good is good,

I have been monitoring my server since upgrading to cf8 and I have to say good is more like great. under cf7 the system load ran at about 10-11% now its runs at 3-4% thats a huge performance increase. cf8 is in my opinion the best release of cf ever!

Tiger Direct will never get my money again

From this day forward I will stay loyal to newegg.com. I received a 50$ gift card from work last week for being a superstar. The gift card was administered by GiftCertificates.com and the only hardware provider I saw was TigerDirect.com.

So I made my gift card selection and received the confirmation code and went to their(tiger) website. I selected the item I wanted and went through their checkout process, their documentation says you will prompted for payment types and that where you will select gift card. I went through the steps and lo and behold I ordered my item but was never prompted for a gift card code (cha - ching).

I was livid called support and was told in no uncertain terms could i have my CC credit back for the balance, EVEN though it was there system failure. I had to order AGAIN and OVER THE PHONE (cha-ching) to be able to use the gift card and receive the 50 credit. This is such a dishonest process and for tiger to be completely unapologetic is unacceptable. So from here on out they will not see a drop of my cash ever agian. and I strongly recommend others to learn from my mistake.

Not there yet , but CF8 on Plesk 8.x

source link
by doing the below I was able to set the coldfusion path in plesk cd /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/servers/ && ln -s coldfusion default

/usr/local/psa/bin/cfsetting -s /opt/coldfusion8 unfortunately plesk still writes out cfmx7 style httpd directives. Does anyone have this working yet?
