I am currently wanting to add a cache engine that eases the apache server for my php scripts. I just wanted to make sure there weren't cons; bugs with certain pages that need to be reloaded very quickly? Has any of you already experienced such bugs with these progs? Which cache-accelerator would you suggest for php-mysql apache?
View 3 Repliesin developing my web apps for clients I always want to make the whole app SSL but that is a big overhead.
Plus search engines and bots grab it to.
Not having it all secure can make it easier to get session fixation.
I am looking into ssl accelerators and find a small but good array of in box and rack components for servers.
I imagine you use them a lot for internal networking, but have you used it for web apps?
which of these are the best *with* phpsuexec enabled on a cpanel server?
APC
eaccelerator
ioncube
xcache
zned optimizer
What would be the best, optimal configuration for either one on a dual xeon, 4GB memory box with centos / cpanel / apache 1.3x?
A client of mine insists that his friend is doing great with Netfirms, however I hear a lot of conflicting opinions.
Please, give me the good, the bad and the ugly so I can give some more rounded advice to my client.

I use apache with CentOS VPS hosting for my blog. I only host one blog in this VPS account. I have 1.5GB RAM and I have 7, 500 page preview per day. My page loading time is 2-3 seconds (according to the pingdom tool).
I want to know what is the best performance (faster web page loading) W3 Total cache option for VPS hosting blog. Currently I use Disk to enhance for page cache and database cache for disk.
I'm trying to understand more the Pro's and Con's for having an Addon Domain vs Separate domain.
Here's my use for it. Site1.com holds all the files, Site2.com holds all the video and images. When it comes time to add a second server (end of this year) I could move Site2.com to a second server and nfs mount it. Thats of the site is separate. PROBLEM: separate site means permission problems, when write code ie.php you can unlink / move files without permission which means setting up special groups.
Addon domain doesn't have the permission problem from what I can see, since the domain gets the group access of the Mainsite. so no extra configuration required. now the problem would be how do I get that addon domain to a second server to offload some of the resources.
I have moved my domain out of hostgator like a month ago..

Why is my page being redirected to hostgator suspended page.
My domain is not even registered with them
the domain is nuzil.com
any reviews about that.
the NOCONA and IRWINDALE are old cpu,
i find the main difference of them is L2 cache (1MA2M),
i want to ask what service need more L2 cache?
for example:a lot of db usage? or httpd? or?
I guess I have finally seen the adverse effects of raising the conntrack table max too high.

I got tons of these during an attack today. I have googled around for a lil while and not have been able to find any useful info on raising this cache level up. Would anyone here know how to do this?
I see no sysctl settings or anything of that nature for it.
I'm running shared hosting and would like to keep the amount kept in cache down so that there is always more memory free... how would i go about doing that?
are these values good?

I have reseller account from small web service company.
they are great and better than the famous company.
but I have one problem. I have personal blog, some time I don't see the new comment, also my visitor see the comment before 4 days ago only.
and there is vb forum, some times new member can't login and only you see the old topic, and some times you see everything ok and up to date.
me and all my visitor have the same problem and that can't be from internet service provider because they are from several country.
I had such problem before 4 years and it was because server Cache.
I didn't name the company because they are great and I don't want to blame them before I know certainly what cause the problem.
What tools do you use to check for DNS Cache Poisoning ? Is there any way it can be prevented and is the problem very prevalent?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI seem to have the opposite problem of what most people complain about... I'm using some custom-built PHP scripts, the output of which is not getting cached. I want the output cached, because it doesn't change often.
If it's relevant, I'm using ob_start() to serve up a GZIP-compressed page.
I start off with a header("Cache-Control: maxage=3600, must-revalidate"). Yes, it's first, and yes, it's showing up properly in the browser.
However, requesting the page again returns an HTTP 200, not the 304 I'm expecting. It's pulling down the whole page again. It's not changing in between requests, and I'm simply visiting the URL again, not hitting Refresh. (Although it really shouldn't matter.)

has an article on mysql query cache.
It notes that in the mysql config file, having
query-cache-type = 1
sets the mysql query cache.
In mysql I note that
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%query_cache%';
outputs
+-------------------+---------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-------------------+---------+
| have_query_cache | YES |
which indicates that cache is set, but...
find . -name "my.cnf"
./usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/my.cnf
./etc/my.cnf
shows only these
set-variable = max_connections=500
safe-show-database
So where has query cache been set?
At the server level?
If so, am I able to set the query_cache_size and if so, which path?
Anyone have any comments on their mysql optimization on a VPS?
I made changes in httpd.conf to redirect website to another website; after 15min I removed redirect but until now when client request website they are redirecting.
I'm sure I remove redirect.
we are locating in UAE, UAE has transparent proxy for all Internet connections so I think the problem in proxy cache, How i can confirm it? then can I avoid it ?
also when I put dot "." at the end of link site working without redirect otherwise it's not working.

I'm assuming a corporate proxy cache is what they have set up. I have a client and every time I send them changes to a temporary page I'm hosting for review they can't see it.
They can hit refresh over and over but never see the new updates unless I change the name of the folder its in.
This is very annoying and it only happens with them and one other corporate client i have. They check on multiple computers and it will never refresh and load the new changes. I think this is their network cache that their IT dept. set up.
How can I get around this? I tried an htaccess trick I looked up for expiring files but it didnt work.
These files are on a shared hosting of mine on an Apache server.
root@host# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4016936 2598976 1417960 0 138424 1558652
-/+ buffers/cache: 901900 3115036
Swap: 5275640 0 5275640
Eventually, the cache reaches 2600000 and i would like to keep the cache smaller so that the free RAM is always steady around 500k for when a lot of traffic comes through.
is there a way to clear the old cache out faster?

We just upgraded our server with 8 brand new seagate cheetah 15k.5's, a battery backup unit, and a 256mb dimm for the raid controller. In the boot process, i noticed an error about caching or something.
After analyzing the dmesg log, i found the error:
sda: asking for cache data failed
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
It seems like the kernel can't get to the raid controllers cache, so it switches to the write through setting.
I've benchmarked the harddisks with the write through, and write back setting. The odd thing is that both settings deliver the same performance.
Normally, write back increases the performance with like 100%... That's why we bought the battery backup unit.
So something is going wrong, but where lays the problem?

I have Django (python framework) on a server, and I have a little problem. The application is kept in cache by FastCGI
When you make changes to your application you have to restart it. Touching the file doesn't solve my problem. The only solution I have is renaming the .fcgi file always, and if you use an orifinal file name, it actually works like before, prooving it's kept in cache.
What would you do? A cron job to remove these files maybe?

I've got an application (java web ) tha dynamically creats images ( with dynamic url - ...tab&vi=nia&h=24&ds=bottom&fn...) - like thumbnails,icons ect.
The think I'm trying to deal with is to force caching theese images by a browser.
When the application starts the server gets images and shows code 200 ( and this images apppers in web browser cache), but after reloding or simply viewing the images from the cache url the server shows again code 200. I'd like to have code 304 - not modified - like when browser gets an image from cache.
The dynamic url for image is being created only once - when the appication starts, and after that it stays unchanged, but I still can't force use the cached images - like when it is a static url - .../image.jpg.

When is a good time to add more ram?
Since I got my server its ran with 1gb ram and has kept a free of at least 400mb since that time.
Now withing a few hours all of it is being kept in buffer/cache as the past week an showing about 15mb free (not counting buffer/cache) and has started in on the disk swap of about 400Kb.
So should I upgrade to 2gb now or wait till it goes deeper into the swap, and if so how far into the swap before you'd upgrade?
Could someone please help me with some information on how I can troubleshoot this issue?
