True. Fact that you can see "Failed connection to mysql DB" means that there's more than enough infrastructure. (1) You get a response from the server - this means there is sufficient bandwidth, and the webserver that hosts the app has sufficient CPU cycles (2) they're using mysql Apart from potential limitations in the the number of connections in windows, you can easily do 500 - 1000 simultaneous connections. Only one connection is needed, though, so this should not be an issue Obviously, the architecture is poor and the app is not tested. The developer really skimped on their computer science classes, or didn't have any at all. --- On Wed, 2/29/12, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote: From: Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] KNEC WEBSITE To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 1:57 PM Why are we assuming the problem is the infrastructure?
