Hi folks!

I just launched a site running on Radiant after a week of building –  
www.kazbegi.info 🙂 Radiant is a very nice tool, keep it up!

(I managed to build everything while being a designer not a programmer.  
So  
it really works, even without proper guidance. The only thing that is  
over  
my head is that on Mediatemple Radiant dies out after every 3-4 hours –  
it  
says something about “proxy error” and then, after restrart it says “bad  
gateway” during short time. I created a mtr restart radiant Crontab  
entity  
(stupid). Hope it works, otherwise I’m doomed. Shitty solution, so if  
anyone  
knows where the dog might be buried, tell me and I contact my programmer  
colleagues. They didn’t know this time. The memory consumption is half  
of  
the container, so it can’t be there I guess.)

Regards  
TÃµnu

Most likely cause is that you’ve got more processes running than your  
shared hosting can handle.

Are you using mongrel or fastcgi? How many instances in your cluster?  
Try reducing the number of mongrel instances / fastcgi  
processes.

Really nice site. Clean, simple and informative. Kazbegi looks sweet.  
Too bad it is so far from Australia 🙂

Did you enter the content yourself in Textile? I would like my users to  
enter content with Textile but I think they will be very reluctant. The  
most technical they have ever got is creating a table in Word.

Cheers,

I tried to leave all html code in the layout and snippets. So I gave the  
girls the pages tab where they entered all the content themselves (I  
only  
made some small examples). They had to use only textile + some few  
snippets  
and it was surprisingly easy and understandable for them – without any  
knowledge of anything beyond office, browsers etc. So I guess in most  
cases  
there is no need for wysiwyg. And – Word tables are more complex than

| this | is |  
| a | table |

🙂

Most of my Radiant sites only require one Mongrel process. Typically,  
with a shared host you won’t have enough memory available to run more  
than one.

So true! With a little training most people can grok basic HTML or  
Textile. So if you have time to invest in your people you will be much  
better off than resorting a clunky wysiwyg.

Nope ☹ I used Photoshop droplet to get the right size and uploaded  
files  
myself. Then they put the pictures onto pages following my example. At  
least  
the lightbox ajax gallery is very easy to use as you know.

Mostly true, except for tables like

| This is a very very long long table xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy zzzzzzzzzz kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | kkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk  
tttt another long cell |

Otherwise, most things are quite easy and intuitive to do with wiki  
markup.
