Memcache module with Drupal 6.20 in a socket situation at WebFaction, and NGINX

Posted by Miko. on May 3, 2011 at 8:47pm

From previous posting to this group the Special Olympics of Northern California and Nevada decided to try Webfaction for several reasons, but two of there were

a) that I was told it had memcache that we could use and also was
b) told that the nginx server would help with serving static files.

Well neither seems possible, unless someone can help. All help is appreciated by myself and the Special Olympics.

wrong mod_fcgid configuration?

Posted by muschpusch on May 5, 2011 at 10:41am

Hey!

i just switched to mod_fcgid and the response time of sites is good until i benchmark them :)

Under multiple concurrent requests (ab -c 50 -n10000) i get notices like this:

[Thu May 05 12:16:37 2011] [notice] mod_fcgid: /var/spool/www/user/aegir/drupal-7/index.php total process count 15 >= 15, skip the spawn request

and the server performs really really bad.

My mod_fcgid config:

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi .php # Where to look for the php.ini file? DefaultInitEnv PHPRC "/etc/php5/cgi"

Suggested Server Specs for a High Performance Site

Posted by samcohen on May 10, 2011 at 6:52pm

Hi.

I'm helping a company set up a Drupal 6 site that will be used as an intranet for its 20,000 employees. They estimate perhaps 1000 people logged in and using the site at once.

Because it's a difficult process for this company to upgrade the server later, they would like to start off with a box good enough to handle the traffic.

Can anyone recommend what type server to start out with or perhaps point me to something that might offer recommendations for server specs based on # of users.

thanks,
Sam

Hi node_load_multiple() taking too much time.

Posted by amolbhavsar on May 11, 2011 at 12:01pm

Hi All,

I am using Drupal 7.

In a page for loading a node of particular content type, I am using node_load_multiple().

Due to some unknown reason, the page is taking too time that the page never loads.

Can somebody please tell me what must have gone wrong?

Looking forward for help from somebody.

Thanks.

adding IPv6 to an existing IPv4-only 'high-perf' Pressflow web-stack?

Posted by _-. on May 11, 2011 at 4:40pm

our current web stack is an all IPv4, DIY implementation of,

	nginx
		multiple listeners on IPv4:80, IPv4:443
		proxypass to varnish-cache on 127.0.0.1:9000
	  |
	  |
	varnish-cache
		listener on 127.0.0.1:9000
		filter/pass to 'faux-CDN' on Apache2
			'img' -> 127.0.0.1:12003
			'css' -> 127.0.0.1:12002
			'js'  -> 127.0.0.1:12001
			'...' -> 127.0.0.1:12000
	  |
	  |
	apache2/mod_php,mod_deflate +
	Pressflow6/memcached(cache_inc/session_inc/lock_inc)
		listeners/vhosts on 127.0.0.1:1200{0,1,2,3}

all works as planned.

Are we squeezing too much?

Since having attended DrupalCon Chicago (and really well before) we have tried to absorb as much as we could from the advice of the performance community and implement it.

We haven't yet implemented Varnish/memcache/apc..., but we would like to take this (varnish) as our next step. Memory is a bit of a concern for us, we have a handful of services all running on one 8GB machine with a fair amount of daily traffic. I aplogize for the loads of data ahead, but i figured better to write too much rather than not enough.

We are primarily concerned with,

Nodejs.module Drupal 6 branch

Posted by Anonymous on May 18, 2011 at 4:19am

Thanks to the efforts of julien, we now have a Drupal 6 port of the Nodejs module.

It still needs work, so anyone who asked for a D6 port is invited to get the code and test it! Bug reports and patches welcome.

Caching content for authenticated users

Posted by firebird on May 19, 2011 at 12:44pm

Exove Ltd is developing a new module, integrating Varnish into Drupal in a way that allows caching not only anonymous users' content, but authenticated users' content as well.

The basic idea behind the module is to generate cacheable anonymous versions from any page with cacheable content, leaving placeholders in place of user specific content, and to serve those versions to all users. Any user-specific content is then replaced with AJAX for all authenticated users.
