I have a reseller account with Media temple. It doesn't support Railo ( http://www.getrailo.com/ ) out of the box but I really do want to use their service, but with some sites using Railo of course.
First port of call was Media temple to assist me...but they don't offer support with resellers on the DV with regards to installing software.
I also Googled and the only thing I can find is this (which looked perfect):
http://jakemauer.com/weblog/railo-on-mediatemple-dv-server/
However, it's out-dated somewhat and I simply do not posses enough technical skill to achieve it (I'm mainly a designer / front-end dev, offering reseller to my clients). One of the first things that guide requires is to get YUM going, but even that I was stuck on. The terminal threw up errors about other files it needed as 'dependencies' and I have no idea how to get that going. I found the process quite complicated. I'm not a server admin :(
I'd be happy to pay someone to do this, but would rather figure it out myself as I'm eager to learn too.
If anyone has experience doing this and can offer insight I'd appreciate it so much.
Thanks,
Michael.
The Railo installer should work just fine on a Media Temple VPS. Documentation on how to launch the Railo installer on a linux machine can be found here:
http://wiki.getrailo.com/wiki/Installation:InstallerDocumentation:LinLaunching
If you don't have a GUI on your server, don't worry, just SSH to your server and run the commands that are posted in the "Command-Line Install" sections.
If you have any problems with any aspect of the install process as outlined in the documentation, I'd recommend the Railo mailing list. The community there (like this one) is quite friendly and can walk you through almost any problems you encounter.

I have been thinking long and hard about making this post and after hours of Google searches I couldn't come up with any good sources so thought I'd ask here.
I am relatively new to coding, started early this year and started a software programming degree so I am super keen to learn. I have managed to make a fully working project that works on shared hosting but doesn't allow me to use latest packages and modules that is why I upgraded to a VPS. But editing my project on cPanel on a shared hosting was alot less scary than what I'm attempting now.
I've recently purchased a VPS to host my first django project I'm building for my father, the project is basically a gallery that allows him to upload a blog and images. I had a standard shared hosting plan which was fine but I couldn't use latest python and django on it.
So what I want to ask is; what is the common practice for starting off with building a project on ubuntu? In my head it was building it on VSCode and just transferring it to ubuntu, linking it to my domain and BAM.
I've found writing the code very tedious and difficult on ubuntu terminal, using cd to go in and out of folders, copy and paste not working etc. so Is writing it on local pc using VSCode acceptable?
How would static files be stored for my father when he uploads his images/blogs, do they store on the VPS or do I need to link something like AWS which is what I really wanted to avoid when getting a VPS.
I would even appreciate just a step by step list of a common procedure for a project as I have described above.
I appreciate anybody and everybody who is willing to give up some time to help me here.
Many Thanks.

I have often faced the issue ‘Service unavailable’ in ColdFusion website and need to restart the service manually. Sometimes, also need to restart the host computer.
I checked Event Viewer but I do not find any error related ColdFusion.
I am not familiar with ColdFusion.
Kindly help me. I would like to check why it happens and to solve this issue.
ColdFusion Version 8
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard - Windows 7, 64bit
IIS Version 7.5
Thank you.
To find out what is actually crashing your CF server you may find information in the "out" log. Look in the /runtime/logs directory for a file called "coldfusion-out.log" or something similar. This is where standard out goes in a running CF application. There is also a /logs directory in your application that may give additional information.
Finally, you may have a hotspot error - an abend. Look in the /runtime/bin directory for a file similar to hs_err_pidXXX.log" (where XXX is some number). If you do have such an error take a quick look to see if it is an "out of memory" error. That's the most common.
I have a post on where all those log files are located. It is from the CF8/CF9 days so it may be useful to you. Of course everyone will tell you to upgrade as well. :) Good luck!
There are two places to look with problem like this: the application server behind CF (JRun for CF8) is the connector between CF and IIS. Adobe CF uses old (IIS6?) style ISAPI connectors that may need to be rebuilt - later versions of CF have a 'rebuild connectors' batch file in cfusion\bin\connectors (something like IIS_connector.bat) but it has been a while since I've had CF8 to look at. At the very least, be certain that you have the last CF8 update from Adobe as they sometimes want you to rebuild connectors after installing them.
A better solution for newer versions of CF (10+) is to use Bilal's Boncode AJP connector - I don't think it supports CF8 but haven't tried it.
CF 8's End-Of-Life was over four years ago and later versions stopped using JRun in favor of Tomcat, which is a bit easier to troubelshoot. If you have a development environment available, you might try running your codebase on CF10 or CF11; if you have to support this application for the foreseeable future, better to do it on something resembling a current version of CF. You could also have a look at Lucee 4.5 for an OSS alternative.
I developed my application with Qt 5.2.1 and MinGW compiler.The installer is created with NSIS and doesnt even require admin privilege.
I use blogger as my application's website, and post Google Drive links to download the setup files.
Suddenly Drive is now showing my application as a virus, even though I checked with virustital.com and the Windows anti-virus software.
I have not received any response to the post I submitted on their forum.
So I would like to know if there is any known common cause for this problem and whether that can be resolved.
PS: I have previously used the same Google services for another software that I developed few years ago, but never ran into such issues.
This is probably false-positive alarm.
Sometimes NSIS generated installer is recognized as virus (which is wrong).
Write to the AV company (I am not sure which AV software G drive uses) and report this problem - they should whitelist your software.
Sometimes simply rebuilding the installer helps too :)
Or my last idea is to remove 'dangerous' code from installer: many times inetC and various other internet calls are suspicious.
I really need help here please.
I made a rails application with the default gemfile and then followed the instructions for installation in comfy's wiki. Ran my app in the local host with webrick and sqlite3 getting no issues really, even though I am learning as I develop, but when the app was kind of ready (I judge it so it probably wasn't) for getting it up and running on heroku it failed, I checked the logs I migrated the database and tried with new apps, even tried installing psql and using unicorn as a web server (tried is emphasized cause neither of em worked for various reasons).
I've spent 6 hours (more or less) going through wikis and stuff but there really isn't much material for this CMS, please help, I even created a stack overflow account because of this issue.
I need a more detailed guide of the configuration needed for heroku.
And I have another question, what happens to the info generated by the users in heroku, how can I backup that. If I push something the differences in the cloud get erased? (Obviously the answer is no, but I want to know how and why)
Thanks a lot, this is driving me crazy.
FYI I'm an amateur.
Pd I can post some of my code's app if required.
Is there a way to meet the following criteria in distributing a Web Service to Windows machines?
1) Automatic installation and configuration of the Web Server.
2) No configuration (or even awareness) of a Web Server required by the customer.
3) No prompts to download and install Java or .NET - especially anything after .NET 2.0; those installs / restarts can take forever!
In short, is there a way to deliver a single install process that installs the Web Server along with a simple web app without requiring lengthy installations of pre-requisites? Something for even the most non-technical of users?
.NET's WCF almost meets the requirements but getting .NET updated up to 3.0 / 3.5 is a lengthy process and can be a turn-off for customers, even if the install holds their hand through the whole thing.
Rubyscript2exe was also very close, but it is extremely touchy and out-dated.
I am open to any technology / programming language - just looking for the slickest distribution process for my customers that meets the above three criteria.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on this as it is extremely important to me that my users have a simple installation experience. Here are a few things that I've found:
UltiDev Cassini: Cassini is that convenient mini-server that runs when you debug your web apps from Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer. UltiDev Cassini builds on that and looks pretty promising. It offers support for all non-beta flavors of .Net and integrates right into Visual Studio. Most interesting to me is the ability to include as part of your installer. The only down side is that pesky .Net pre-requisite. I can handle helping users get installed up to 2.0, but the install process to move to 3.0 and 3.5 is way too heavy for the typical user.
RubyScript2Exe: I like the premise of an executable Rails app. However, I attempted to use this on a Mac and it is simply too outdated and requires too many workarounds for my tastes. It's too bad, because I love Ruby on Rails development.
Server2Go: This is my favorite of the three options. It is easily distributable (just send off a zip file) and has a lot of nice options. For example, you can configure it to leave the included Apache server running even after the browser closes - that is PERFECT for a nicely packaged web service. It can also provide a customizable icon in the task bar for shutting down the service if necessary. I think this best meets my needs for the time being.
Please, if you know of any other options, let me know.
Also, you may be wondering, "Why not just write a desktop app?". The simple answer is that I don't need much of a GUI, if any. I need a simple to install web service that can be consumed by various other applications (web, mobile, and desktop included).
