Drupal Cache

I created a wiki for discussion about the future of Drupal Caching. Please read http://groups.drupal.org/node/75823 and let's discuss in here to figure out how to create a Cache API v2 that surpasses our current implementation.

APC vs. Memcache - why I do get better results with APC?

Hi,

How is memcache different form APC if both are used as user-object caches, with the same Cacherouter module?
1) APC as opcode + APC as user storage
2) APC as opcode + memcached as user storage

What I see is that in real life I get better results (page refresh times, server load) with case 1) - memory allocation in both cases ~100MB
So is memcache useful at all if using just 1 server? I really doubt it is faster...

What is your experience?

Question about using Memcache API module

Hi All,

I have a question on how to set up the Memcache API module on my Drupal 6 site for the first time.

The Memcache API documentation states that "In addition, if you have modules that implement their own cache tables using the cache API, they need to also implement the hook_devel_caches hook."

I have at least a couple of contrib modules such as Views that use their own cache tables. The code for the Views module doesn't contain an implementation of the hook_devel_caches hook. But when I checked out the cached keys in my memcached sever, I found Views-related keys.

Suggestion for performance nginx setup in CentOS 5.3

Hello,

Maybe next week I will setup a dedicated server.

Server hardware:
Dual core ATOM 330
2GB RAM
Swap: 2.2GB

OS: CentOS 5.3

Drupal:
-Use MySQL DB
-Use boost
(some of my website use statistic, some not, but all use boost)
-Lots of anonymous user, with high read & low write

For this serer, what I want is:
-highest request/sec
-lowest RAM & CPU usage

Below is what will I do, but because I dont have experience in nginx, so I hope there will be suggestion (Which one has duplicated function and can be ignored, or not enough something...)

nginx with memcache

I've got a reasonably busy server which was running nginx with memcache (approx 2000 concurrent users, mostly anonymous users viewing pages).

It was running nginx with memcache - apparently happily, but I don't have any benchmarks from that time.

I updated Drupal to 6.15, plus a shed load of modules - not the memcache module, but that appears to be only a gui anyway.

Now, if I set the following in the settings.php file, the site goes offline immediately. It won't come back until I remove the setting;

$conf = array(
'cache_inc' => './sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc',

Memcache cluster with Cacherouter

Hello

We have four load-balanced Apache servers (Ap1, Ap2, Ap3, Ap4) all pointing to a single MySQL server master server, which has a single Slave. We are running Pressflow 6.14.

What I'd really appreciate some advice on please is how best to configure Memcache and which module (cacherouter or memcache) I should use.

My thought was to create indentical bins on all 4 servers, something like this (Ap1,2,3,4 etc would be replaced by IP addresses):

<?php

$conf['cache_inc'] = './sites/all/modules/contrib/cacherouter/cacherouter.inc';
$conf['cacherouter'] = array(

Advantages of multiple memcache bins?

I work for a company that has several drupal (5.x) sites that get ~1million page views per month. We run memcache (for other non-drupal purposes) and I recently installed the memcache module on a few of the drupal sites. I notice that we have 2 memcache servers each with only 1 bin of 16 gigs each. My understanding is that it's more efficient to run smaller, more specialized bins so I'm trying to get the sys ops people to bust up the memcache servers into smaller bins. Is this correct?
