It's my 2nd time to install ez. I ever installed an old version about half a year ago. I tried to install the lastest version of EZ at three of my websites, one hosted by ipower, one hosted by 1and1 and one hosted by a local company. Unfortunately, all failed.

It seems ez is not for shared hosting. Even for the old version I successfully installed, it is slow, pretty slow compared with other cms, esp those lightweighted cms (or blog applications).

I am very disappointed with ez. Probably it's time for me to sell my Learning Exponential 3 book on amazon.

Minghui, don't give up ;) Take a look at the offer of eZ systems hosting partners. You will have warranty that everything works correctly. Exponential has some requirements like many other software. I think you tired with hosting providers that not grants all Exponential requirements. Exponential can work very fast and can be good for small website, yes.

Minghui,

Try again.

Once you get comfortable with eZ, you'll realize its power and value. Its performance can be tuned to deliver the content extremely fast.

Good luck.
