You should hang around on IRC more often ... LinuxPlanet has an interview with the woman behind the site: <http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/interviews/5176/1/> She even mentions Geeklog there: "Moving to the website and changing to Geeklog software opened up many possibilities for a large, coordinated group effort." We should have one of those sleazy "costumer statements" pages ;-) bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/

I too am pretty excited about it but I think we should their popularity and those of other Geeklog sites to talk about scaling issues. I know masosxhints.com does a lot of traffic as does groklaw.net and I'm interested how they have managed to scale Geeklog. Groklaw has been /.'d a few times and is always up when I visit it. Now, having authored my fair share of GL, I find this pleasantly surprising but I'd like ot know what they are doing. Are they simply using beefy boxes and ISP's with fat pipes or are there some other things under the hood. Any of you have an answers to this? --Tony

According to my config guy, he just "tweaked" php.ini and mysql.conf a bit, and made sure that the pconnect was disabled. In addition, we threw a really big hardware box at it -- a dual Xeon machine with 2gb of RAM, and it's a dedicated server just for hints and the forum site (and a few very tiny family sites).

Our ISP (ev1.net) definitely has fat pipes, and provides a lot of bandwidth (1.2 terabytes), which is very nice. They seem to have one of the faster net connections I've seen (I've had four hosts in three years with macosxhints, mainly due to outgrowing all the prior providers). I think we'll be with ev1.net for a while -- until I can find a similar host offering dual XServes, so I can finally host on what I write about :). If you want, I can probably get the php.ini and mysql.cnf files for you to look at... -rob.

Let me know which version of the MySQL conf file yours is based on (three or so ship with the distro). Need to catch up with Marc sometime soon...haven't seen him in a while if you run into him maybe mention this thread. Oh, and 7-8Gb...wow. I'm poised to break the 3GB mark this month. Nice to keep things in perspective. --Tony Rob Griffiths wrote: > On Jan 28, 2004, at 10:32 AM, Tony Bibbs wrote: > >> their popularity and those of other Geeklog sites to talk about >> scaling issues.
