Hi All,
I posted a question about Mambo in another thread and was told to be careful with it because it can be a resource hog. I was also advised to search the forums and read up.
Not a bad idea. I did so and read every post about it. The only thing ever posted about Mambo, besides the fact that people like it, is that it is a resource hog on shared servers and can get your site suspended.
In one post, a user asked exactly what kinds of resources the CMS is using. His request was not answered, but because of the amount of posts in that thread it could have easily been missed. Being an IT guy myself I always find this stuff really interesting. Unfortunately, the position I am in does not involve or give me access to shared Linux Apache servers to test it out myself.
Can anyone tell me what the resource usage statistics are? And what version of Mambo CMS they are from. Most of the posts seemed to be pre-version 4. I am running version 4.5.1 and I believe its codebase was rewritten at some time. Additionally, can anyone show how the useage stats of Mambo CMS is compared to other CMS projects like PHP Nuke.
I actually ran a test server with Xoops, PHP Nuke, CPG Nuke, Drupal, and a few others. The only one that worked nearly as good as Mambo was Xoops, unfortunately it seems that most development for Xoops is done in Europe and most support/plugin sites are not in english. Additionally, Xoops does not have a good wrapper solution for non-CMS components like a message board or straight HTML page.
Just Curious,
Ken
