Administering Applications in Production

Posted by nicholsr on November 5th, 2009. Other posts by nicholsr

Recently we have had a number of queries about poor performance of sMash applications which have turned out to be caused by starting the applications from App Builder.

App Builder is intended as a development tool and as such it always starts applications in debug mode. This has a fairly dramatic effect on the performance of applications, particularly those that use PHP.

To start an application for performance or load testing you should be sure to use the CLI or the administration console instead of using App Builder.

    Cool. I’m looking for a way to make it run as a Windows service. There is Autoexnt – part of windows resource kit toolbox. It runs a bat file when the service starts, after that the service stops again. But not a sollution for restarting zero applications via one or multiple windows services. Any ideas?

    There is a discussion on this on the forum: http://www.projectzero.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1597&p=6940&hilit=windows+service#p6940
