Any experience with HostGator dedicated servers

Posted by RKopacz on February 14, 2013 at 9:31pm

I am looking to migrate a client with 10,000 page views per month (which is quiclky moving toward a 15,000 to 20,000 page view / month traffic profile) to a HostGator dedicated server. I have had good experiences with HostGator shared hosting and very good interactions with their sales professionals and tech support.

Site was hit by meteorit

Posted by andribas on February 15, 2013 at 3:08pm

Today our site (local news) was hit by users that would like to know whats going on.
I have set up 2 years ago dedicated server with memcached turned on and it works great but today.
Provider of data-center told that we have reached about 80 megabit incoming traffic in peak today, proc had about 76% load.

Drupal works as nginx -> php-fpm. When server became slow, i could ssh in server, inspect processes, even worked apache on separate ip - phpmyadmin, and nginx result in 502 error on server.

Setting reverse_proxy and reverse_proxy_addresses behind AWS ELBs

Posted by Torenware on February 17, 2013 at 6:24am

I've recently launched a Drupal 7 site using auto-scaling on AWS. The basic architecture is 2+ ELB that handle SSL, talking to multiple auto-scaled instances running nginx + php-fpm. Mostly, it's working.

I have noticed that the IP addresses logged for clients are in the 10.0.0.0/8 private network that Amazon uses. At first, I thought that HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR wasn't set, but it turns out that it is both set and correct. The problem is that settings.php wasn't set up.

I've now read the notes in setting.php, and am a bit confused.

would appreciate suggestions/recommendations on server architecture

Posted by gerold on February 20, 2013 at 4:06pm

would appreciate suggestions/recommendations on server architecture of new site. it's D7 and mostly logged users.

here's the available hybrid cloud resources and the initial plan. would like to hear more suggestions to get the most of existing setup in terms of optimization and caching.

dedicated web: 8cpus, 12g ram
- apache (http on port 8080 and https on 443), http port 80 will go to varnish in another cloud server.
- apc (opcode caching only, not integrated iwth drupal)

dedicated db: 12cpus, 32g ram, ssd
- mysql
- memcache (just default config)

What is the best way to load 100s of views programatically? Can Drupal scale this large?

Posted by Gastonia on February 26, 2013 at 12:22pm

I have written a module that writes views programmatically, and my mymodule.views_default.inc file is enormous. Currently there are 150 individual views, and 780 will be the target (this is the initial target).

But, even with the test group of 150 several things are happening.

1) when enabling the module via drush, php memory usage goes through the roof. It climbs into the gigs (TOP command), but it finally loads.

MySQL my.cnf optimization

Posted by Anonymous on March 4, 2013 at 2:50pm

Although I am sure this is a perennial topic in this group, I would like to start (yet another) discussion on optimization of my.cnf. I really don't understand mysql at all, and I have found even the slightest change to the my.cnf settings has a massive impact on my server performance.

I could really use some advice on settings from the group. Hopefully this threat can grow and be useful to others in the future.

My setup:

CSS/JS files compress

Posted by pmichelazzo on March 4, 2013 at 6:23pm

Dear folks,

When we make a website using Drupal, almost every module have a CSS file and Drupal load it in every page. Just for an example, I have a small install of D7 in my machine with the core, views and ctools, just it. To load the homepage, Drupal load 13 different CSS files, including one for views, one for ctools, 4 from core (system module), 2 for fields, etc. For me, this is a huge amount of files with a big problem: each file is a request for the server (that's make the website slow).

Need help for maps showing large numbers of records

Posted by adam_b on March 7, 2013 at 10:41am

I'm pulling together a site which needs to have maps that display a couple of thousand records. The current solution uses Getlocations/Views with Google Maps as the back end; it works fine up to about 100 records (see attached screenshot) but then slows down and falls over as numbers are increased.

Does anybody have useful experience in this area? I'm happy to consider consultancy fees; less happy to speak with agencies.

ProjectPAAS, looking for free beta testers (giving back to those who have given to drupal)

Posted by bertboerland on March 8, 2013 at 11:52am

It seems that with the growing Drupal user base, the problems with CMS (flexibility) and speed (non functional requirement) seems to be growing. We made a SAAS where one can install a small module (http://drupal.org/project/paas) and the buy a service where we scan your site. We do this on 100+ metrics and in an academic way (lots of "r" graphs, no gradients :-)

We measure your site from a selectable EC2 location and really test the site insite out and outside in. We dont just say "use parallel downloading", we measure how many host you need to get the most benefit, no yslow wisdom! :-)
