Migrating from Mambo to Another CMS?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday August 25, 2005 @09:13AM

Pikoro asks: "I put up a website a while back for personal use and I have been using Mambo to keep the site in order. One problem though. It seems that Mambo is not all that scalable. The website I started in January now gets almost 20,000 unique users a day and Mambo is very SQL heavy. The database is running on a P4 2.4Ghz machine with 1Gb of RAM, and the database server is on it's knees. Do I need to just upgrade the database server, optimize the MySQL installation, or switch to another CMS system. I would prefer the latter since I have had issues with Mambo and wanted to move to more of a weblog style format. Was considering Slashcode as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated."

Re:What's up with Slashcode? by hexghost · 2005-08-25 11:33 · Score: 2, Funny

We tried using slashcode for a very simple site (www.cyberlodge.org). Let me come out and say this:

SLASHCODE IS THE SHITTIEST PIECE OF SHIT I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH.

Now that I've said that... Slashcode looks like it was written by first year high school computer science students. Simply trying to change the look of the slashcode site is an exercise in futility, requiring messing with the ugly code with its interspersed look. If there are Design Patterns and Best Practices, then Slashcode would be the antithesis of them.
