Tuning with NewRelic

Posted by DaPooch on March 15, 2013 at 11:02pm

So I've finally delved into tuning up my aging Drupal 6 site using NewRelic and like most I'm amazed at what their product has to offer. Very useful for honing in on problem areas. However, being new to this I'm not fully sure what the correct actions are to fix my particular problem.

Drupal site search using Search API (To search user data and page content)

Posted by Kuriakose Kurian on March 19, 2013 at 6:31am

Hi all,

Please see the functionality below which I’m looking for, any help is really appreciated.

“The search functionality on my website needs to search the website pages as well as User personal information (first name, last name, email etc). As Drupal core don’t search the user personal information, I have implemented the Search API. The search is working fine, if I’m using two separate pages. But I would like to have a single search box (similar to core search) on website and user can able to search Node index and User Index from a single search box. ”

"Caching mode" stuck at "Normal" on Pressflow website with Varnish 3

Posted by yngens on March 21, 2013 at 11:21am

Hi All,

I am hitting the same strange problem as was described on http://drupal.org/node/1613386 for Barracuda project. The difference is that I am not using Barracuda, but Pressflow on CentOS 6.4 server with Varnish installed and running.

I tried to play with various cache options, clearing it, turning it off, but it never selects Disabled, Aggressive or External. It's just stuck on Normal (recommended for production sites, no side effects). Could anyone suggest how can I set it to External?

Thanks.

Building a Drupal 7 Optimized my.conf File

This is an attempt to hard code some of the many best practices that are brought up in various posts scattered on the internet. Please feel free to edit, particularly adding to the documentation of the configuration. My assumptions are we're working with at least 8GB of RAM, 2*Dual Core CPUs, 64bit operating system, EXT3 file system & Debian.

The MySQL database server configuration file.

You can copy this to one of:

- "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,

- "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.

Performance Profiling Recommendations

Posted by galaxiecruzin on March 21, 2013 at 8:14pm

First off, thanks in advance for any comments/recommendations.

Over the past few months I have been working on performance tuning a D7 site that includes Drupal commerce. Using NewRelic, I was able to determine that menu_tree_check_access() was being called on every menu item with the Taxonomy Menu Block. I quickly replaced the menu block with Views that does the same thing as the menu block did, except much faster...

Issues with any submit with pound

Hi everyone,

PHP 5.5 with ZendOpcache in core is here (almost). What changes does this require in the HP stack where APC used to be?

Posted by drupsup on March 25, 2013 at 10:51pm

PHP 5.5 Beta-1 has been released.

Zend Opcache has been opensourced, and is now included in PHP as part of core.

APC, otoh, seems to have languished. Development has slowed, and, atm, there's no version/tree that's 5.5.x compatible. APC 3.1.14 which was focused on PHP 5.4+ compat has been pulled due to memory issues; 3.1.13 is the most current stable release.

Reading the lists and the tea-leaves, it appears that most, if not all, resources will henceforth be applied to development/maintenance of Zend Opcache.

RAM Recommendations/Help

Posted by Ony on March 27, 2013 at 7:52pm

Hello everyone,

I've spent the past few months figuring out Drupal and I've come a long way I think. I recently set up a site with about roughly 70 modules. It's supposed to be very interactive and I hope to get a lot of logged in users, with groups, forums, etc. By the time I tested it on a live server, I realized the site was actually a bit slow. Along with that I was getting constant complaints from my host. I moved it to a VPS with about 550MB Ram, and though I rarely seem to hit the limit, there are brief (like a few minutes) 'spikes', said spikes result in a warning from my host, and occasionally what looks like a server restart that cripples my site for about ten minutes.

Anyone have a copy of pressflow 5?

Posted by Steve Dondley on March 28, 2013 at 1:02pm

Can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
