Query cache Issues, Performance Issues and Version of MYSQL
Hi Everyone.
I was reading on several forums that using MYSQL 5.5 will be a good option as it improves the performance compared to my current version 5.0.77.
I guess we are able to run things, only because we are using boost to completely cache the server.
I have listed some of the status variables from our website's drupal admin below. Some of them, made me think that something is wrong.
What should we do in order to correct the issues.
Read moreScalability of a forum with node access
Hello,
I'm looking for a forum solution for a Drupal site. This forum must support moderating. Is there any lightweight solution, or is the forum access module scalable? Last year I had problem with a node access module. Is it correct that Forum Access sustains the same issue?
Do you know any big forum (a few dozens of thousands of nodes or more) that uses the Drupal forum?
Thanks.
Read moreMulti process Drupal
I've been thinking about a way to make Drupal's page rendering utilize multiple cores of the server for a single request. Vanilla PHP can be used to create as many child processes as one desires, so the question is how do they communicate and where's a good place in the code to make it MT. My gut says spiting up by region. That would require modifications to these functions most likely.

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?
Read moreNginx 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.
Read moreNeed 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.
Read moreUse 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.
Read more24 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.
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.
Read moreVarnish 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.
