Dealing with user files on AWS and other scalable platforms

Posted by Torenware on October 10, 2012 at 9:12am

I'm upgrading a large Drupal 5 system to run under Drupal 7 on AWS, and am trying to figure out the best practice for setting up the public files that used to be in sites/default/files.

I'm looking at a couple of the modules available for using S3 as the storage back end, and am beginning to think there has to be a better way to do this. That, or those of you who are doing large sites are doing something seriously custom that isn't making its way back into modules like AmazonS3.

Getting HTTPS to play nice with Varnish

Posted by am4 on October 10, 2012 at 1:40pm

I've gotten Varnish working in front of Drupal 7. I've also got Pound in front of Varnish, and can successfully browse the site via HTTPS. However, whenever I try to log in over HTTPS, I get a 403 forbidden error, and I'm not entirely sure why. My guess is Varnish-related... but I'm not positive.

Anyone have any ideas/pointers as to what I'm missing? I'm glad to post Firebug output showing the POST to /user and the resulting 403 if it helps.

Relevant snippets from settings.php:
<?php
$conf['reverse_proxy'] = TRUE;
$conf['page_cache_invoke_hooks'] = false;
$conf['cache'] = 1;

How can a Drupal 7 website handle high volumes of node input? (node_save() function)

Posted by Gastonia on October 11, 2012 at 8:12am

I have a project that has been in the works for almost a year. The project is at a point now where it is time to upload content. I have a team of people doing this item by item through the content node forms, and I have a few developers aggregating content and batch saving it in a custom module, which, in order to stay 'Drupally', uses the Drupal node_save() function as well as other typical functions in the API.

At the same time, the site is live and in use by an entire campus of students who also can add content and otherwise interact with the site through their user account.

Varnish & Apache's HTTPd

Posted by alexus on October 11, 2012 at 4:41pm

in our environment even though we have varnish (frontend) w/ apache (backend) somehow logged-in users are able to bring apache to it's knees, it probably have something to do with following:

    // do not serve cached pages for logged in users
    if (req.http.Cookie ~ "SESS[a-f|0-9]+") {
            return (pass);
    }

so I was thinking if it's possible to do following:

have pressflow to give out different cookie to a user based on their role.

Why Drupal doesn't use special Memory Limit (ini_set) in Cache Clearing Script?

Posted by 4lvin on October 12, 2012 at 12:51pm

In Drupal 7, i have found that CLEAR CACHE (on the Web Panel) is using extreme high Memory resource. Giant projects like mine, needs over 350MB to that process.

Then i set 400MB inside php.ini

So as far as i have investigated, i have found that having high memory limit (Globally) is totally the damage to the overall Performance because every single script is using that limit in memory.

Average memory usage

Posted by Samshel on October 22, 2012 at 2:39am

I've been wondering what the average memory usage for a Drupal 6 is. I've been working on installing APC and testing cache systems like Varnish, but I see that my site still consumes the same amount of memory when loading a page.

I have 150 modules enabled on my production site, testing with devel module I get:

Page execution time was 1677.15 ms. Executed 462 queries in 301.65 milliseconds.
Memory used at: devel_init()=0.72 MB, devel_shutdown()=48.46 MB.

These results are with only Drupal basic cache enabled, no external cache.

Couchbase?

Posted by John Hodgins on October 24, 2012 at 8:59pm

Hey, what are your thoughts on couchbase as a drop-in replacement for memcache?

I'm using memcache in a pretty typical setup: several webheads with apache/php and memcache connecting to a central mysql server and nfs filesystem. Memcache is clustered so there is one large pool of memory available for cache, sessions, etc.

What interests me about couchbase is replication -- having the cache data replicated to each webhead would mean much faster access to cached data for apache/php, right? Has anyone tried this out?

Varnish 2.x Debugging

Posted by vaibhavjain on October 26, 2012 at 11:47am

Hello Drupalers,

I am trying to figure out a way to debug Varnish and write some code in VCL file.
I am struggling to get all attributes and properties of an object.
Is there anything like print_r for varnish too.

I am looking at the request object and object is "req", any way to know what all information does it contain ?

Hoping to get a reply soon :)
