High Performance

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

This group is dedicated to solutions and approaches for high traffic, high performing Drupal sites. As such, it will deal with a lot of information around the rest of a typical Drupal "stack" -- the operating system, web server, database, and PHP tweaks that combine to support the Drupal application.

This is not a support channel or a place to post bug reports.

If you think you have found a bug, use the issue queue for the appropriate project.

If you need support, see http://drupal.org/support for options.

Moving inactive modules' directories out of way to speed up Drupal

I have several hundreds of modules in my various D6 Drupal installations so that when I need any of them I don't have to download them first - I just go to /admin/build/modules and switch on what I want.

Now, the problem is that that list of modules takes ages so long to load that the work becomes inefficient. I also suspect that Drupal might be slowed down in general because it has all these folders in the modules directory - though I am not sure how often they are scanned.

Nodepal - A Drupal integration layer for Node.js developers

You might wanna check out Nodepal - A Drupal integration layer for Node.js developers

This is a module that allows the integration of a Drupal installation with a custom Node.js app. It provides an API so that Node.js developers can directly read and write in Drupal's repository, using constructs like node, user, permission, etc., without having to worry about the underlying implementation and setup of the Drupal installation.

Use Cases:

new nodejs module

Finally scratched an itch and created a Node.js Integration module last night.

The code is pre-alpha, and will eat your lunch and kill your kittens - please do not use the code unless you are a developer looking to help beat this in to shape.

Feedback and co-maintainers welcome!

Varnish and its effects on non-Drupal sites hosted on the same server

Hi there fellow Drupalistas

I set up Varnish on my virtual server yesterday after following the excellent video guide created by Lullabot and some threads on this group

The Drupal sites I was playing around with were on sub-domains and late last night I noticed an odd redirection thing going on with the non-Drupal parent domain.

This morning I closed these sub-domains down, moved them elsewhere to their own domains and rebooted the server but Googlebot (checked in Webmaster Tools) isn't accessing the page - it just reads failed.

Need a little Help with mounting AMAZON S3

Hi
I have recently deployed a site on EC2 which is a hefty Drupal site with over 150 Modules.
I had successfully mounted an EBS and RDS and the Apache runs on an AMI.

But i am not able to mount S3 in the same way. Or am i doing it the wrong way. Also tried the media mover module, but not sure if that is wad i want. Think it will only work if i try to move the files manually.

24 websites , 12 languages, in 12 countries. Can drupal handle this ?

Hi,

I am working on a new internet strategy for a client. This client is going to launch 24 new websites in 12 different countries (read 12 languages). This means two websites per country. I am unsure about the traffic as they will also boost their marketing activities. Based on current figures I expect 25.000 unique visitors per day in total (for all 24 websites together). And I guess this will grow with 5% per month for the coming years to come.
Each individual website will need its own frond-end (design) and content management.

Use Javascript (no ajax) for Views sorting - Have random sorting on cached pages

We have some hacked up tpl files to accomplish this goal, but I'm looking to create a module where one can select "Global: Javascript Random" as an option. We want to use this elsewhere so a views plugin sounds like the right thing to do.

Need help on database access, problem solved.

Our website need to read one type of nodes body directly for high performance. The code is as following:
include("opendatabase.php");
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT body FROM node_revisions WHERE uid = 1 AND title = 'test1' LIMIT 1 ");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result);
print_r ($row["body"]);

mysql_close();

It doesn't run drupal_bootstrap. It has no relation with the drupal except read its database table.

Nginx training on Drupal Events: how to do it?

We've just decided the final date for our 1st Drupalcamp in Portugal and I'm going to give a presentation on Nginx and Drupal. This will be the rework of a presentation I gave last November on a meetup at oPorto.

Amazon EC2 as load balanced/failover solution

Hi All,

I'm thinking of an idea but not sure the pros/cons of it.

At the moment, we are hosting our website on a dedicated server. As a failover/load balanced solution, I'm thinking to use Amazon EC2+EBS.
The files can be rsync and mysql can be setup as master-master replication

When the load is high, I can up the machine, given sometime to "sync" and load balanced the traffic there.

is it do-able? any link I can read more on this?
