Overview

This page is to be used for listing untested applications, dependencies, languages, etc. that are NOT able to run optimally (or at all) on the (gs) Grid-Service.

Word of Admonition

Please put applications that are confirmed not to work with the (gs) on this page. Please try to get an official response from a (mt) staff (ticket, forums, phone, etc.) that the application does not work with the (gs) before adding it to this list.

Scripts and Applications
Due to the quantity and ever-changing complexity of internet software, it simply isn't feasible for us to know the details of how all the applications you're running work. You are fully responsible for the installation and correct operation of any and all scripts and applications. We will not troubleshoot or provide any support relating to malfunctioning scripts or applications. This is a policy that we must strictly adhere to.

Please take the time to read the (mt) Media Temple Statement of Support.
