gav240z Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi there,Just wondering if anyone has managed to get Invision Power to run successfully on Google App Engine PHP Runtime Environment?https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/It is my understanding that you cannot write directly to Google App Engine environment, so in order to save files etc.. You would need to leverage Google Cloud Storage.Why do I want to use Google App Engine?1. Scalability2. Speed3. Cheaper than my current host4. Improved security ability to lock out admin section of site to specific users.5. Works as a CDN, if 1 data center goes down your site is replicated on other servers.I've seen that Wordpress and Drupal can be run on App Engine but may be easier to do with plugins to help manage how files are read / written to Cloud Storage etc.?I know that Invision Power offers it's own hosting etc.. But I have more than 1 website I want to host and manage and would rather do it all via 1 plan and pay based on what I currently use/need than what I might need in future.If anyone is doing this I'd love to hear from you!Cheers,Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccfoux Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Seems like there'd need to be a pretty intensive plugin written for this to be a fully-functional option.Unfortunately I haven't seen any sort of info on it and doubt I will due to lack of interest.But of course, you're free to give it a go!

James Ford Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 @gav240z did you push forward with this at all? Or has anyone else tried hosting IP.Board on Google App Engine? I'm looking into this just now. It would seem to be not trivial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
