Aaron

you are on the right track IMO, why place static public files on IBM I that
only
eats on your local internet connection and take resources?

Thanks for the reasons. I don't disagree with any of them depending on the
scenario.

Some things to think about...

At some point IBM i shops have to get over the fear of opening a port on
their firewall. Also, bandwidth shouldn't normally be an issue if the
business chooses a right strategy for loading static resources (i.e. Amazon
S3 for images, PDFs, etc).

for several reasons.

- with most hosting companies you are able to install WordPress or other
by pressing a botton.

- you get more bandwidth and are able to close down you IBM I for
maintenance
or test.

- you have no problems with your firewalls

- any plugin will work

- you can easely integrate IBM I business pages into the CMS

Maybe you could expound on your reasons instead of negatively painting

Personally I have never understood why people place their WP (or
other)
homepage on their IBM I that basically is a Business Application
Server.

Not sure if this will help, but I had a similar problem years ago.

For some time now we have been wrestling with trying to find out
why
our
WP site was automatically updating itself, but that all plug-ins
failed
during the last step of the update for no obvious reason.

We have spent many hours and $s on this without resolution and
have
had
to
resort to manually updating the plug-ins.

Why am I mentioning this? Because after the last round of
updates a
number
of features on the site stopped working. Password resets, blog
post
notifications, etc. It turns out that the WP update process has
been
“lying” to us - the main wP software was no actually being
updated
it
just
said it was. As a result we appear to be in a situation where the
plug-ins
are for a more recent version of WP than the one we were actually
running!
The net appears to have been that various functions failed.

We have now manually updated the main WP software and most of the
“broken”
functionality is working again - not all of it and we suspect
that
database
corruption during the mis-match period may have caused this -
we’re
still
working on it.

So - this is just a heads up to any of you using WP that you may
not
be
as
up-to-date as you think! And that may lead to other problems
later.
