I currently have a production site running Joomla that is simply not scaling or providing me with the features I need. I have been testing Openpublish and pressflow on 2 different installations for a few weeks now and wish to integrate the 2.
My question is does anyone have any experience with this. For example, do you download the openpublish distro and somehow replace core drupal with Pressflow. I am looking for some guidance here and hoping that someone has done this.
Thank you - chules

I have the same doubts as
I have the same doubts as chules'. I tried to overwrite OP's core files with Pressflow's but could not install it locally. By the way, would Pressflow's optimized core make OP anyway less resource hungry as to be deployed in a shared hosting environment?
OP and presslow integration

I would imagine that pressflow would most likely increase most performance with Drupal. I have tested this with Amazon services and on a dedicated server with Rackspace. Most of this I believe is due to Varnish cache of non-authenticated traffic. On your shared hosting did you ever get OP to run? You do have to adjust your php settings for the installation and even on a VPS server OP took some time to install. I am continuing to reach out and see how you can integrate pressflow and OP as the OP website does mention that it's possible. However, I can find no documentation. I will keep you updated on what I find

I have it running on shared
I have it running on shared hosting.
Yes there's settings to change, but here's my changes to .htaccess:
memory_limit 384M
realpath_cache_size 2M
max_execution_time 180
max_input_time 180

Did some simple testing
And it's really simple to exchange both.
I took my shared hosting setup and create a vmware ubuntu 10.10 with 1Gb memory.
I installed LAMP on it and downloaded varnish as well and set ip up.
Moved default apache2 to port 8080 and put varnish to 80.
The installed the mysql db (20Mb of size) and moved the site to the vm.
Made sure it was running first and after that exchanged the drupal core to pressflow (just overwrite the files).
Cleared the cache and it all worked fine without any problem.

Drupal Integration
I'll try testing this approach as well. My original thoughts were to try to replace the drupal core in openpublish before the initial installation. I will post my results as well. I really can't believe how little documentation exists for this type of integrated installation.
thank you for the tips

It will become in place once
It will become in place once the documentation server is ready.
@Irakli, any ideas when?
