What do you think of my load testing approach?

Posted by briwood on May 18, 2009 at 9:23pm

I'm trying to evaluate if our VPS LAMP server can accommodate a website for a university department. Last years stats show this heavy day:

Page views: 23,000
Unique Visitors 2,500
Average Page views/visitor: 7

This is a "read only" site. Users just browse, they don't create content or submit any forms of any kind.

Connection reset problems with nginx + php-fpm and Boost

Posted by kcoop on May 21, 2009 at 7:17am

Any help for a relative noob?

I've set up a drupal server that uses nginx + php-fpm and boost. Boost and its rewrite rules are working correctly for anonymous users, as evidenced by the embedded boost comments in the pages I'm seeing.

Discussion about Remove COUNT(*) from path_cache patch

Posted by navaneeth_r on May 21, 2009 at 9:11am

Please refer: http://drupal.org/node/230235

Thanks for the patch, it gives a good performance benefit.
if (!isset($count)) {
//$count = db_result(db_query('SELECT COUNT(pid) FROM {url_alias}'));
$count = (int)db_result(db_query('SELECT pid FROM {url_alias} LIMIT 1'));
}
Here the $count variable is used to indicate that a url alias has been created. Can't we use $count =1 or session variable like $_SESSION['count'] instead of running the query "(int)db_result(db_query('SELECT pid FROM {url_alias} LIMIT 1'));" ?.

Will drupal handle my 600.000 nodes and 100.000 users ?

Posted by wilmar81 on May 22, 2009 at 11:47am

Hi!

First, let me apologize if my english hurts. I'm not a native.

Thanks for the existence of that group. Though i come here for the first time, I'm sure it helped people many times before.

I'd like to expose my concerns and worries too about drupal. I'm in charge of a website which has about:
- 11.000.000 pages views a month
- 300.000 unique visitors by month
- 100.000 registered users

The settings are:
- each user can post a content

Do someone has an idea on cache db vs cache file? i mean which one is faster.

Counting anonymous node views

Posted by yhager on May 26, 2009 at 3:33am

On a D5 site with high (registered) traffic, there is also a requirement to count node views by anonymous visitors.

The existing setup is using Boost, and node view count is done using an ajax call on the pages, into a hook_menu that increments the counter.

Panels caching on d6

Posted by johsw@drupal.org on June 2, 2009 at 9:06pm

We're getting close to relaunching our site (information.dk - see http://drupal.org/information.dk) on Drupal 6. We're still using panels. This time it the SUPER panels3 for D6. However we have one concern and that is speed.

On d5 we used panels_preempt, but right now there seems to be no other cache for Panels 3 than Drupals page cache or panels3's simple cache. Have any of you got an alternative?

Performance impact of .htaccess and rewrite rules?

Posted by SerenityNow on June 2, 2009 at 11:40pm

Hi-

I am new to Drupal, but I have always avoided use of .htaccess files and mod_rewrite because I was under the impression that they could negatively impact performance.

Here are some excerpts from Wrox's 'Professional Apache' in the chapter on improving Apache's performance:

Posted by kwinters on June 3, 2009 at 5:08pm

I just wanted to share some technical information about a very different caching scheme, in hopes that someone would be able to make use of the information for Drupal.
