ideal development and hosting setup for Frontier 9?

[Joshua Lipton/Slowtrain]

That's very interesting. I had been thinking of using Manila sites to be repositories for general data. But it DOES make more sense to use a general server as the static host and then reference everything in my code and templates that way.

I will explore the webEdit thing that you mention. I'm sure there are tons of things in Frontier that I have yet to encounter, and this is one of them. Will webEdit allow me to move tables from one server to another? If so, that sounds like just the solution for what I'm talking about. With the ability to manipulate that kind of data on the server level, and with remote web administration for everything else, it doesn't sound like there's much that I'd actually need the server application itself for via remote access.

Am I getting that right?

Thanks,
Joshua Lipton

  The way that I manage moving all the stuff around and keeping things in sync is webEdit (built into frontier) The nice thing is that you can even use radio as the client for a lot of the changes that you need to do as it has webEdit built in as well (though it is a little hidden) It handles custody and checking and checking out table objects, it is also good if you are going to maintain a central db for all your customizations that all the other servers can subscribe to.

  I think that at this point the best platform for hosting Frontier is probably win 2000 (that is what userland seems to do most of their hosting on though I use Mac OS X) there just seem to be to many issues currently with the OS X version, though I am confident in userland's ability to get these sorted out.

  For the rare times that I need to access the servers that I have in remote locations I have been using VNC though I will probably move to Timbuktu sometime soon for this (performance issues and security that my clients feel more comfortable with) If at all possible I think you want to set your server to have another application server any static content that you can (gems, pictures, ...) as apps like apache are much better at serving these files and it reduces load on frontier.
