I just deployed to an Amazon EC2 bitnami djnago stack and I'm having trouble with the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting in the settings.py file. I am not sure what hostname to use or where to find it. I have tried internal IP, external IP, localhost, domain name. The only thing that gets the 500 error pages to stop, is: ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*'] But, this is a security issue. What am I missing? Set it to - ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ '.yourdomain.com' ] Where yourdomain.com is the domain name you're using to access it. The documentation says - Values in this list can be fully qualified names (e.g. 'www.example.com'),

I am testing Microsoft's Azure cloud platform and am hosting two very low-requirement websites. One is a simple single form MVC website that simply accepts some input from the user, performs some calculations, and spits out an output. The second is similar, but it performs a simple query against an Azure SQL Server instance. Both websites go down constantly. What appears to be happening is that if I don't hit the website for awhile (maybe an hour or so) the GET request simply fails. Nothing is ever returned from the server. If I wait a minute or two and try again, the website works perfectly.

I know many platforms that currently support play 1.x but did any one have tried any that support play 2.x. There is also dotCloud . I would recommend Heroku as The One (in capital letters). They are amazing, and provide excellent support for Play. BUT! we aware that (unless I missed something last week) they still DO NOT SUPPORT WebSockets, arguably one of the major improvements in Play 2.0. So, if your application requires WebSockets, go with Amazon EC2. As far as I know, you have : Heroku Cloudfoundry EDIT : I'll add a bit of information about Play! cloud platforms.

we are currently developing a high traffic rails application with facebooker (facebook game). since amazon simpledb (aws-sdb) is really slow, we are thinking of using a dedicated mongodb server as offered by mongoHQ for example. questions: what is the read/writes peak value for a mongodb server running on a amazon ec2 instance? what would be a recommended setup for a ec2 hosted app with mongodb - a master on amazon EBS and replicas on the ec2 instances? any examples or experiences? is there a company that offers mongodb hosting in the cloud? thanks, mz 1) Your reads/inserts/updates values will

I'm currently looking at Windows Azure to host an ElasticSearch implementation. Loading the application and running it under Java is not that difficult. Currently, ElasticSearch only supports Amazon's S3 when it comes to cloud storage. As a result, I've made a request to add support for Azure Blob Storage in ElasticSearch . Right after I made the request, it occured to me that while I can host ElasticSearch in Azure, I can create an Amazon S3 account and then have the instance running in Azure connect to the S3 account for storage. However, I do have concerns about the speed between the two.
