Apache

all day now, i have been trying to get everything "server side" setup in ubuntu, and have had absolutely no luck at all. first, i installed xampp for linux, which used to be Lampp in a previous relaese; it was horrible. there was no way to actually reconfigure apache, or redirect the localhost with it actively running. so then it was onto lullabot for some assistance. ah-ha, i found a video which was great. i uninstalled xampp and was prepared to follow along on a fresh setup. so i opened synaptic, installed apache, php5, mysql, etc. and all went great, or so i thought.

I'm cross posting an issue here to let you guys know of this way:

Private and Public File Access

Banner.module isn't really guilty here. There are a lot more modules that do not work with private file access.

So, one of the big things with static file serving is that it requires an entire Drupal bootstrap, which sucks up a lot of system resources. We have work to do in Drupal/the File API to support some interesting scalability options, remote files, etc. etc.

But, I think there are some interesting models for doing highly scalable static file serving outside of Drupal (and Amazon's S3 is cool).
