Zeropoint theme in pressflow
Hi there,
Just upgraded a site to pressflow from drupal 6 and the performance boost is well worth the effort.
Using the zeropoint theme, it has a rotating banner in the header (rotate.php) However it doesn't work anymore. Using firebug I see:
background: url("/sites/all/themes/zeropoint/_custom/headerimg/rotate.php") no-repeat scroll 100% 100% So it is finding the file, but it wont run. Tried changing the permission to 777 and flushing the cache but it still refuses to run, got me stumped anyone any ideas?
Thanks...
Read moreTrying to size up a server for an open atrium install - do these calculations this sound reasonable?
Hi guys
I'm trying to size up a server for an install of open atrium, where I'm expecting to be serving an intranet of 3000 total users across the globe, with around 150 concurrent users at a time, and I'd like to see compare what I think I'd need, with what you would suggest for running a site like this.
Read moreSeparate Old Content
Hello, I have been developing with Drupal for a while now, but new to the high performance side of things. I am working with a site with about 105,000 nodes and keeps growing at a fast rate. But most of the nodes get put in an archived state after a week or so. So most of the content on the site is very up to date, but we want to keep the old content because search engines have indexed them, and our authors and content providers look up their old content to reference in new articles. But the views for the site filter out the content based on the value of that archived field.
Read moreConfused by performance issues: Would Love Help optimizing httpd.conf, apc, php-cgi, memory usage, page execution, memcache
So now we've evolved and moved forward in the development of the Special Olympics site, and some of you will remember my questions about how to choose a web hosting service. Although we chose Webfaction, we may need to move to a dedicated server and VPS, but in truth, I am VERY confused about how to KNOW what our site performance needs, and memory needs, truly are. PLEASE offer advice if you can.
Read moreWindows optimisation
I'm doing some consulting work for a client where Linux is (unfortunately) not an option for any part of the stack.
The setup is:
- Windows Server 2008 64bit
- php 5.3.x
- apache 2.2.x
- mysql 5.x
Apart from getting APC to work, I'm looking for general pointers to making this not suck horribly from a performance point of view.
Read moreDisabling page caching for anonymous visitors who have JavaScript disabled
Our site (http://en.commtap.org), uses a fair amount of JavaScript to modify how its pages are presented according to a visitor's preferences. Unfortunately it appears that a significant number of our visitors don't have JavaScript enabled in their browsers - and do not have the means to enable it - these computers are in primary schools. In this case, the alternative would be for a visitor's preferences to be processed server side when the page is being created in Drupal. This would mean that we would have to turn page caching off, slowing down the delivery of pages for everyone.
Read morereverse proxy
we have a high-trafficked d6 site and we subscribed to third-party service to handle malicious traffics. this third-party service functions as our reverse proxy and cdn which runs nginx. is there a need for us to enable d6 reverse proxy setting or not? if there is, do we need to apply a d6 patch (http://drupal.org/node/466444) for reverse proxy? any known issue with nginx as reverse proxy?
Thanks!

Master - Slave Solution
Hi,
Please bear with me if i am creating this question in the wrong place i am new to Drupal groups.
I manage an enterprise solution for 4 drupal sites very high transactional and with high traffic.
i use pressflow on 6 web servers with memcached and a master slave replication, they seem to be fine but i want to reduce the load on the master so i want to make 2 slave part of the solution, since i am using pressflow with supports master-slave replication solution.
Views PHP Distinct
Been doing some slow query debugging and GROUP BY/DISTINCT has turned one of my views from taking 0.0049 seconds to 1.7768 seconds. This view also has LIMIT 0, 1 slapped at the end of it, so MySQL could be smarter about this. But in the mean time I could use PHP to do the Group By/Distinct logic. Has someone done this before?
