Uninstalling Varnish

Posted by ManyNancy on April 13, 2010 at 5:56pm

Varnish keeps on crashing on me, and since I have authcache and only one server, I'd rather not deal with it.

I removed it by apt-get remove varnish, and setting apache to port 80. Are there any other steps that I need to take to set the server to be like no varnish? What about the memory allocated to varnish in the bootscript, is that someone I'll need to clawback?

Thanks.

If you are running Drupal with Postgres as the database it runs at 1/2 the speed compared to running Drupal with MySQL as the database?

A co-worker informed me that he read on the web that if you are running Drupal with Postgres as the database it runs at 1/2 the speed compared to running Drupal with MySQL as the database.

Any comments?

Thanks,

John

Load Balanced Boost ?

Posted by mburak on April 14, 2010 at 12:38pm

Hi guys,

I've been working with Boost module for a long time in a single server and I have no problems. Our traffic is increasing day by day and I'm thinking in adding a new Apache server a make a load balanced environment. But here is my concern: What's the best way to confiugre Boost so it still works ok? Is it a NFS for the "cache" folder a good aproach? What do you think?

(Apache: prefork vs worker) vs nginx

Posted by jcisio on April 14, 2010 at 4:48pm

Hello,

I use Apache with MPM prefork (and mod_fcgid + suphp). As a result of high load, I've just installed nginx for static file server and reverse proxy to Apache (I have only 1 IP and want to use port 80). The result is interesting so I want to share here. Note: I made a couple of MySQL optimizations at the same time, so the observation might not 100% due to the web server change.

Drupal Con BoF - Performance

Posted by mikeytown2 on April 17, 2010 at 1:20am

Start:

2010-04-19 02:45 - 03:45 America/Los_Angeles

Organizers:

mikeytown2

Event type:

User group meeting

I (Mike Carper) decided to schedule a BoF for performance. It's an open forum about performance so come with questions! If there are not any questions, I can kick start it by talking about using boost to control varnish; something I plan on porting (yes I'm currently doing this) to the expire module once I get all the kinks of keeping page relationships in the database worked out.

Configuring Varnish to make it work with language negociation

Posted by toemaz on April 19, 2010 at 10:17am

Drupal comes with a language negociation (D6: admin/settings/language/configure). One of the options is "path prefix with language fallback": If a suitable prefix is not identified, the display language is determined by the user's language preferences from the My Account page, or by the browser's language settings. The latter means it will look at Accept-Language in the http request and return the preferred language. I would like this still to work, together with Varnish cache.

Varnish VCL for UrbanMinistry.org - Tips and Tricks

Last updated by EvanDonovan on Tue, 2010-04-20 22:40

Currently this is just a genericized version of my VCL for UrbanMinistry.org, and TechMission's other websites, as I mentioned it in the High Performance BoF yesterday. Later on, I hope to add annotations that explain some of the tips and tricks that are happening here. There are some hints as to what's going on in the comments, though.

#This is a basic VCL configuration file for varnish. See the vcl(7) #man page for details on VCL syntax and semantics. # #Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content #server. # backend default { .host = "127.0.0.1";

More CPU or More RAM?

Posted by xqi on April 21, 2010 at 6:07pm

I have a 1.5G database which includes cache tables. about 40k users and 40k nodes.

Right now I am hosting it with a 1.5G RAM VPS and I feel it is too slow. So I am planning to upgrade it to a dedicated serer.

Here are two choice of my server:

Intel Pentium G6950 (Dual Core), 2xSATA Drive (no RAID), 8G RAM
Intel Xeon X3210 (Quad Core), 2XSATA drive (no RAID), 4G RAM.

They are roughly the same price. (150$)

kill taxonomy_get_term and drupal_lookup_path to speed up drupal :: share a core hack method

Posted by haojiang on April 24, 2010 at 4:26pm

Because of my poor english , i will cut the crap.
Maybe someone have been post the same disscussion before , i post here for advices to hack drupal core too.....

RESULT ::reduce from 77-28 selects . BY using this method on taxonomy_get_term reduce my site form 77 selects to 43 ,and copy the same method to taxonomy_get_term , will then reduce from 43 to 28 , if you’re using pathauto and path and a lot terms , it’s a lot more useful.

1.after using cacherouter and trun on drupal normal cache , my site still have at least 77 mysql-selects per page when login.
