Comment on How to Install Drupal on a GoGrid Cloud Server in Less than 15 Minutes by Don Worthley

I was surprised to see this article about Drupal before an article about DotNetNuke which is the premier open source CMS based on the ASP.NET framework. DotNetNuke has made significant improvements in the installation process over the past year. You can have DotNetNuke up and running in less than 5 minutes and the size of the community along with the maturity of the product ensure that it will be a great investment for the long run.

@ gomundo,

Append the URL with install.php and it will bring up the installation screen. For example, http://208.113.X.XX/install.php. That should solve your problem.

Thanks,

Bryan Levine

Trying to learn the linux stuff…followed instructions, so far have installed wordpress and drupal. I have the same problem in both installs, when I browse to directory rather than rendering the default page in the directory the browser shows the directory structure. Also what is the best way to connect to a linux gui from a windows box…thanks in advance

Guys,

You should write a similar article for Symfony Framework. Symfony is the hottest framework right now…

Cheers,
Swapnil.

Comment on Availability in the Cloud by Michael Sheehan

@Raj,

Since Cloud Computing is pretty much an evolution of traditional computing, I think it is important to look at how things were resolved traditionally and then apply it to the Cloud. There will be more and more services that will offer these types of solutions. Redundancy within a specific grid is fine but the idea is that you need redundancy across the cloud as well.

@Randy,
Agree with that. I’m working on further defining Cloud Computing (and the Cloud Pyramid I talk about in previous posts) to include Aggregators and “Extenders” (for lack of a better term). CloudScale is probably one of many that will emerge, capitalizing on Cloud Infrastructure providers.

Thanks for your comments!

Since 100% uptime is impossible, this is more than a valid strategy, it’s sound business sense. It’s no different than a disaster recovery site. Honestly, the key problem is that you need a way to build your application in a cloud provider agnostic way.

That’s where CloudScale comes in.

This is a good suggestion. But this is kind of applying the principles of traditional load balancing architecture/design to could or grid computing infrastructures. Doing this is good, but then it completely kills the purpose of using redundant servers on a grid/cloud anyways. 100% uptime is a necessity for Grids and Coulds ….

My 2 cents!
