Question

I am seeing some odd cookies in a client's production environment that I cannot find anywhere in the Drupal code. Anyone seen this? What is the best approach to address this? I thought about configuring Varnish to only allow certain cookies to pass, and not pass any all other requests, but that does not seem like a good approach. Any ideas?

I am seeing the 503: Service Unavailable page for just a single page on my site. All other pages load fine.

When I access the page I see this in the logs:

[Tue Oct 05 13:57:27 2010] [notice] child pid 5229 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

My server has been set up according to http://library.linode.com/development/frameworks/php/project-mercury/ubuntu-9.10-karmic#configure_varnish

Can anyone provide any advice on how to troubleshoot this?

Hi,

I am moving existing sites from various servers to Pressflow. Looking at the tables, I see a mixture of MyISAM and InnoDB tables.

I understand that Pressflow uses InnodDB as the default storage engine. And I see in many places InnoDB usually makes Drupal fast (e.g. see this).

Two questions:

1) If one built a website from scratch in Pressflow, would all tables use InnoDB instead of MyISAM? In other words, is it (probably) good to convert ALL MyISAM tables to InnoDB or only a few of them?

Hey Greg, Josh, and all,

I'm getting ready to deploy into production a new Drupal 7 site (will do so as soon as D7 goes beta) and I'd like to use it with Project Mercury for performance reasons. Will Project Mercury still work properly if Drupal 7 is substituted for Pressflow? How do you recommend I do this?

My current plans are to use the forthcoming Mercury 1.2 Amazon AMI (with configuration to support Amazon EBS).

Thanks,
Ben

P.S. By the way, any plans for including Drupal 7 directly in Project Mercury sometime soon?

Is there a guide how to best migrate an update to date drupal 6.19 installation to a mercury installation ? Didn't find any documentation about that.

Hi !

I installed today my first installation of mercury on a ubuntu 10.04 64 bit system. Right after installation I wanted to check the varnish status (admin/reports/varnish) and get the following:

Notice: Undefined variable: output in varnish_admin_reports_page() (line 99 of /var/www/sites/all/modules/varnish/varnish.admin.inc).

any idea what could be wrong ?

yours

Hello all,

I was wondering what the current status of graphing/monitoring utilities & pantheon is - I've done a bit of searching, and all I've found is a mention by Greg Coit in June that munin was probably going to be chosen. I'm quite familiar with munin, and have started to wrap my head around bcfg2. (we mostly use puppet at our org) So, I'd like to contribute, but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be duplicating any work that's already been done. We're looking to deploy a large multisite on pantheon where I work in the next year, and good monitoring will be essential...

Hi all, I'm sure there must have been some tests run on Pantheon, but I can't find any documentation of such anywhere.

Specifically I'm interested to learn how many logged in users (doing regular stuff like browse the site, post a question, look at a profile etc) could pantheon running on an EC2 server created from the AMI handle?

At what level of logged in users might we expect Pantheon to start having trouble?

Hi everyone,

I had everything running nicely on AWS with 1.1 beta image but after upgrading all the modules (including varnish) and rebooting the instance all I get is a generic Varnish page with the above message.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Many thanks,
