How Do Facebook, MySpace, Etc Serve So Many Users

Jan 24, 2008

when I type in www.facebook.com or www.myspace.com I'm taken to the main page but millions of people do the same thing every day.

I have basic understanding of DNS but only for single servers and small websites. I don't know how these organizations link of the necessary servers so that their website is available to all.

Trojans Coming From Myspace?

Sep 25, 2007

My friend has been building a myspace page for herself using our old computer and all of a sudden I've found multiple trojans, 1 of which was very tough to get rid of.

Could these trojans be coming from the little dealiemajigs (sp?) she's using to decorate her page?

Hosting Requirements For A MySpace App

Mar 25, 2009

I'm in the (very) early stages of developing a MySpace application and I'm looking for advice on hosting package needs. I've got an extensive software development background, but nothing at all web related, so I really don't know where to begin, and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot from the get-go.

I assume a simple shared hosting package would suffice for development, but I don't know how long or far it would scale, what the upgrade path would be, or what difficulties I'd encounter, so I'm here with this question.

I'd appreciate any suggestions whatsoever on what's key for this kind of application: package type, minimum data transfer, connections, cpu time, OS, database, language support, etc.. That includes any experiences anyone might have had, the host they've used and liked or disliked, or what they offer themselves (if that's allowed on the forum) and so on. Anything at all.

Apache :: Myspace Style Profile Name Mod Rewrites?

Jun 22, 2011

How do you do Myspace Style Profile Name Mod Rewrites?

I have Mod-rewrite code turned on for Friendly URLS in options.

But for member profiles in .htaccess. I want it to look like this:

[URL]...

Instead of this:[URL]...

This way members can link friends to their profile easier.

Facebook App Hosting - Softlayer

Dec 16, 2008

Would anyone be able to "ping apps.facebook.com" for me from their Softlayer dedicated server?

I am specifically looking for ping times for Softlayer's 3 data centers (Seattle, Texas, DC). I tried getting this information from Softlayer's web sales, but they were rude and told me I should ask their customers for these numbers. Kind of strange considering I'm looking to spend a lot on a cluster of server's for my Facebook application.
What is everyone else using to host their Facebook applications?

Apache :: Facebook OAuth Not Working (sometimes)

Jul 30, 2013

I have a really weird problem with using facebook authentication (OAuth 2.0) for a node.js driven website. I am using passport.js as authentication middleware.

I am running the express.js server behind an apache using the following rewrite rules (my .htaccess file):

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =mydomain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost:62666/$1 [QSA,P]

The weird thing is, i can login via my facebook account, my client can't. It yields an internal server error with no error_logs appearing.

On my old server I solved this problem by increasing the buffer size of ngnix (which seems odd), so I figured it has to be a http-server issue. The use of nginx is absolutely no option on my new platform, nor is increasing the buffer size. I'm really kind of lost here.

Apache :: Won't Serve Up CGI

Jan 25, 2013

I have installed Apache 2.0.64(Win32) and after repeated tries at adjusting the httpd.conf file, it still is refusing to serve up CGI. So far I have, following the Apache documentation, set my designated CGI directory with AddHandler directive, Option +ExecCGI enabled. Also have added the ScriptAlias directive as per instructions. These directives should work in conjuction with modules mod_alias and mod_cgi, both of which I have made sure were set to be loaded. The log files show no errors. There are no syntax errors being pushed out at start-up. The server stops and starts upon commands, with no problems,

I will post some excerpts from my httpd.conf in the pastebin as soon as it gets up & running--right now the authentication icon is missing.I have Active Perl 5.16 running on this machine, but my Apache download is the binary without SSL and with msi installer.

Serve 1 000 000 Images From One Directory

Aug 13, 2008

I plan to build huge image gallery, using lighttpd to server these images. It would be easiest for me to have all these files (more than 1 000 000) in one directory? Is it ok?

I have no idea, if this can cause any problems. Should I part my files into several directories, does it make serving better/faster?

Preventing Users From Connecting To Other Users Database

Mar 25, 2009

On my server, users can connect to any database as long as they have the database user and password. This makes it easier to hack any database on the server.
What I want to do is to make the users can only connect to their own databases and not other's.

I tried changing the localhost ip address but it didn't work ( I assume I didn't do it the right way)

How Fast Does Your Site Serve Pages

Mar 31, 2009

Apache includes a handy little program called ab

You can use this to measure how long it takes a web site to deliver a page n times

I wonder if people would like to state how fast their sites using shared web hosting can deliver simple pages, one in HTML and one in PHP (people can add other scripting languages if they wish.

Please don't post the site name or host name, just the results; I'd be interested in seeing what the range of results is, without getting into debates about hosting sites.

Here are two web pages

hello.html:

<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world</h1>
</body>
</html>

hello.php:

<html>
<body>
<?php

echo "<h1>Hello, php world</h1>";

?>
</body>
</html>

Here are the test commands; note I set the concurrency level to 1 ("-c 1"), which gives a more realistic measure of the user response time for low-traffic sites.

html: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]
php: ab -k -c 1 -n 50 [url]

And here are my results:

************** html:
Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 6.196 seconds

Requests per second: 8.07 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 123.929 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 3.36 [Kbytes/sec] received

************** php:

Server Software: Apache/1.3.37
Concurrency Level: 1
Time taken for tests: 15.859 seconds

Requests per second: 3.15 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean)
Time per request: 317.190 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 0.93 [Kbytes/sec] received

Serve Images From A Different Location Based On IP

May 27, 2009

We have a major chunk of our traffic coming in from Asia and our servers are in the US. The latency is an issue which we have sorted out by ensuring we use Amazon's cloudfront CDN atleast for the static images.

Now while this is working rather well, we are now wanting to experiment and see if we could put up an additional image server in our country to serve IPs from that specific range.

In case the local image server goes down, the amazon cloudfront setup should be used. What are the best options for achieving this with the least amount of latency for the users?

Apache :: Unable To Serve More Requests

May 25, 2015

I have a little problem (on my Raspberry) with the maximum concurrent connections.When I open multiple tabs of a webpage which keeps persistent connections, apache is unable to serve more requests.Here is the (shortened) mod_info output (which also takes some time till there is a process kind enough to serve the request):

Code:
Server Version: Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian) OpenSSL/1.0.1k
Server MPM: prefork
5 requests currently being processed, 9 idle workers

.___W____WWW_..W_...............................................
................................................................
......................

Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req Conn Child Slot Client VHost Request

[Code] ....

When I understood it correctly, apache should spawn new processes (up to MaxRequestWorkers=150)

But there are idle???? processes, so it wont add new ones?

I dont think it has to do with mod_proxy (used for the webpage) since the mod_info output is affected as well...

Apache :: Serve XML File As Response For Appropriate Request When Web Service Is Down

May 30, 2013

I am using the latest version of Apache on an Windows XP machine

When my web service is down for maintenance, since Apache is will still be up and running, I would like for Apache to serve an xml file as a response for the appropriate request. I have three operations available, makePayment, calculateFee, and voidPayment.

Is it possible to have Apache determine what type of request is made for example if I have an xml error page for each operation; how will Apache know which xml file to serve based on the operation request from the client

To make it more clear: What is the best practice for modifying apache to know what request is being made in order to serve the appropriate xml file?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Making Subdomain Serve Files From Same Directory As Main Domain

Sep 28, 2014

I'm setting up a SAAS service which is built on top of Laravel. To put it simply the service itself knows whether its being called from a sub.example.com or just example.com and serves a correct response accordingly. So going to sub.example.com will use the same index.php file as example.com but the routes and controllers within the application will provide a different response. sub.example.com will show a tenant login page where as example.com will show a new tenant subscription page or something else.

So when someone new subscribes I add a new entry to the database with a subdomain name for them and when a request comes from that subdomain and they are logged in it will show them their information. Easy right.

There is a problem though with setting it up with Plesk. When I add a wildcard subdomain, it will look for /subdomains/sub/ for the files which is a bit problematic since I want it to serve the files from the same place as the domain example.com.

Is there a way to configure that so that regardless of the subdomain it will try and serve the exact same content as my main domain?

Mirror/Mirroring Site Hosting/aka: Impressed At Ability Of Cheap Hardware To Serve Static HTML

Nov 5, 2009

We recently began to mirror a large number of open source projects with a dedicated mirror server on our network and I was surprised not only with how popular the mirror server has become, is, but also of the ability of the hardware we're using to keep up with the load.

At an given time, the mirror seems to be pushing at least 50 Megabits of trafficthe server is also an IRC server (irc.igsobe.com) for customers and internal staff communications.

The hardware is a low end Dell Pentium 4 @ 2.66 GHZ server, running with 512MB of RAM and a 400 GB ATA hard drive. CentOS v5.3 is the operating system.

If you're interested, you can view the HTML logfile analysis here but that doesn't tell the full story as FTP users make up a good portion of the traffic. We've received over a quarter million hits in the first few days of November alone.

18:14:15 up 65 days, 9:04, 5 users, load average: 0.31, 0.69, 0.56

The only change that I made to the default configuration was lowering the maximum number of Apache servers to 128.

Just thought I'd share this information as I wouldn't have thought a server with such a small amount of RAM would be able to serve up so much data, even though we are talking strictly static HTML files.

I'll definitely keep this in mind when clients ask me for those "what type of dedicated server should I use for XXX" type discussions that are had all too often with clients.
