| 05:30.24 | mindjuju | anybody around? |
| 05:30.50 | herlo | hi |
| 05:31.04 | mindjuju | hi herlo |
| 05:31.16 | mindjuju | i'm in a fix, i've got an idea, but i'm frustrated with the previous guy |
| 05:31.34 | herlo | k |
| 05:31.37 | herlo | shoot |
| 05:31.55 | mindjuju | the hdd that is being used for our website, previous guy allocated 10G to it from an 80Gb drive, 10GB to temp and the rest to home |
| 05:32.03 | mindjuju | and i just ran out of hdd space |
| 05:32.33 | mindjuju | there isn't prolly a way to reallocate the space whilst in production |
| 05:32.45 | mindjuju | so i'm thinking, move the web folder to /home which has bookoo space |
| 05:32.51 | mindjuju | and update apache to read from there |
| 05:32.59 | herlo | well, there are two things you could do |
| 05:33.08 | herlo | one is what you are suggesting, though I'm not sure that's the best idea |
| 05:33.32 | herlo | how is the storage setup? Just normal partitions? |
| 05:33.56 | mindjuju | yeah |
| 05:34.12 | mindjuju | 2nd hdd split up between /home /var and /tmp |
| 05:34.32 | mindjuju | doesn't 10GB to /tmp seem silly? |
| 05:34.41 | herlo | not necessarily |
| 05:34.48 | herlo | depends on what you are doing |
| 05:35.30 | DexterTheDragon | herlo: ping |
| 05:35.30 | herlo | so a symlink may be a good idea |
| 05:35.36 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: hi |
| 05:36.02 | DexterTheDragon | herlo: you going to be in town Sept 27th? |
| 05:36.12 | herlo | yes |
| 05:36.26 | mindjuju | am i going to have any penalties (time wise) by using a symlink? |
| 05:36.28 | DexterTheDragon | want to give an oalug presentation? |
| 05:36.35 | herlo | maybe |
| 05:36.43 | herlo | mindjuju: no penalties |
| 05:37.19 | herlo | mindjuju: other than a possible minor config change in the httpd.conf, you shouldn't see any major issues |
| 05:37.50 | mindjuju | k, i'll do that |
| 05:37.51 | mindjuju | thx! |
| 05:38.04 | herlo | yup, hope it works |
| 05:38.15 | herlo | I would suggest using LVM in the future though |
| 05:38.47 | herlo | DexterTheDragon: on what would I present? |
| 05:38.47 | DexterTheDragon | herlo: I'd like to have a presentation on how to build rpm and deb packages, possibly with how to run a local repo for them |
| 05:38.56 | herlo | oh, I can do that |
| 05:38.59 | DexterTheDragon | I know you know the rpm side |
| 05:39.02 | herlo | right |
| 05:39.07 | DexterTheDragon | do you know how to do deb? |
| 05:39.16 | herlo | not really, but I could figure it out |
| 05:40.16 | DexterTheDragon | if you can do deb also that would be awesome, otherwise I can look around for someone to do that side |
| 05:40.28 | herlo | yeah, look around |
| 05:40.49 | herlo | but I can do it if you can't find someone... that, or do rpm this month and deb next |
| 05:41.04 | herlo | it'll entice people to come back to see how to compare |
| 05:49.20 | DexterTheDragon | oooooo good idea |
| 05:55.57 | mindjuju | so herlo, when i said this cp -r /var/www/html/* /home/images it copied everything from html over to images |
| 05:56.21 | mindjuju | but when i df /home/images and compare to df /var/www/html i'm not getting the same size |
| 05:57.45 | herlo | mindjuju: hidden files? |
| 06:04.30 | mindjuju | herlo, seems like if i leave the wildcrd off, it will copy everything? |
| 06:05.09 | herlo | mindjuju: if you remove the * it should copy the directory structure from the point you specify |
| 06:05.24 | herlo | if you remove the / at the end, it will copy the html directory as is... |
| 06:05.44 | herlo | including html |
| 06:05.57 | herlo | that's *always* how copy works in linux |
| 07:12.40 | mindjuju | you still awake herlo? |
| 07:12.46 | mindjuju | i fell asleep at computer :( |
| 07:13.13 | mindjuju | so do i need to do anything with the real /var/www/html ? |
| 07:13.22 | mindjuju | rename it or something so that i can create the sym link? |

| 21:17.25 | beandog | ~topsy-turvy |
| 21:17.55 | TuxToaster | I thought Sabayon was based on Gentoo |
| 21:18.09 | beandog | sabayon x86_64 2.12.4-7.el5 base 128 k |
| 21:18.09 | beandog | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:18.12 | beandog | whoopsie fail |
| 21:18.17 | TuxToaster | weird. |
| 21:18.18 | beandog | TuxToaster: it is |
| 21:18.18 | SunSparc | ~flood beandog |
| 21:18.18 | ibot | ACTION blasts beandog with a huge firehose then strangles beandog with it |
| 21:19.09 | TuxToaster | $lart CentOS |
| 21:19.09 | raifbot | changes CentOS's permissions to 0777 and tells the world. |
| 21:19.13 | beandog | lol |
| 21:19.15 | beandog | I like that one |
| 21:19.22 | stderr- | c'mon guys |
| 21:19.24 | TuxToaster | nice |
| 21:19.25 | stderr- | I'm trying to idle here |
| 21:19.31 | beandog | I am, uninentionally, getting to know CentOS much better |

| 21:23.35 | SunSparc | Rather interesting |
| 21:26.17 | beandog | you're stealing from the community! |
| 21:26.23 | SunSparc | lol |
| 21:26.27 | SunSparc | The beandog community |
| 21:27.11 | herlo | beandog: sabayon is not just a linux distro |
| 21:27.25 | herlo | beandog: you should try 'rpm -qi sabayon' |

| 21:32.25 | herlo | there you go |
| 21:39.18 | mindjuju | i wish i understood the voodoo behind MaxRequestsPerChild |
| 21:42.17 | beandog | you working on worker threads |
| 21:42.30 | herlo | mindjuju: what do you mean? |
| 21:42.37 | herlo | it's clearly stated |
| 21:43.06 | mindjuju | what is clear to some is not always clear for all |
| 21:43.15 | beandog | well said |
| 21:43.17 | mindjuju | that's why i say, i wish i understood |
| 21:43.21 | herlo | mindjuju: read the docs |
| 21:43.24 | mindjuju | not, the documentation sucks |
| 21:43.31 | mindjuju | i'm saying its not clear for me |
| 21:43.36 | herlo | mindjuju: in the httpd.conf |
| 21:43.37 | herlo | MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves |
| 21:43.46 | herlo | it's right in there |
| 21:43.53 | herlo | right above where you set it |
| 21:44.12 | mindjuju | not really what i'm talking about, but thx! |
| 21:44.14 | mindjuju | i'm good |
| 21:47.43 | herlo | ?? |
| 21:48.07 | herlo | I can lay it out more simply if you like |
| 21:48.31 | herlo | HTTP launches X number of servers |
| 21:48.56 | herlo | for each one of these servers, or processes, requests are passed by the master http process to the children |
| 21:49.23 | mindjuju | i understand that part, it's what value to set to it that is my problemo |
| 21:49.37 | mindjuju | finding out what values and tweaking and why that tweaking works is the voodoo i speak of |
| 21:49.43 | herlo | when one server hits the MaxRequestsPerChild value, no more http requests will be sent to that process and another process will have |
| 21:49.46 | herlo | ahh |
| 21:50.04 | herlo | so, it's a matter of figuring out how much ram each request uses |
| 21:50.17 | mindjuju | yeah, was just reading that here - http://www.devside.net/articles/apache-performance-tuning |
| 21:50.21 | herlo | right |
| 21:50.36 | mindjuju | and coorelating all that back to apache docs to confirm |
| 21:50.42 | herlo | so, we figured out that with 4G of ram, about 150 was a good value |
| 21:50.49 | herlo | for php handling, that is |
| 21:53.38 | *** join/#uphpu ninnypants (~tyrel@76.8.192.78) |
| 21:55.35 | carmony | MaxRequestsPerChild, if I remember right, is the total number of requests a child will handle before it will die and the Apache parent process will spin up a new one |
| 21:55.44 | mindjuju | yes |
| 21:56.30 | mindjuju | see, the thing that really upsets me is this http://www.devside.net/articles/apache-performance-tuning |
| 21:56.44 | mindjuju | their config isn't nearly as beefy as herlo, but their maxrequestperchild is 2000 |
| 21:57.17 | carmony | correct, so a child will serve 2000 requests, and then die |
| 21:57.38 | mindjuju | but compare that to herlo number of 150 |
| 21:57.42 | mindjuju | HUGE difference |
| 21:58.45 | carmony | okay, so we'll make it even bigger of a difference, and understand the cons and pros of each side :P lets say one server had it set to 10 and another set it to 10000 |
| 21:59.01 | josephscott | leaky memory, lower number ;-) |
| 21:59.18 | carmony | the one set it to 10 won't have to worry about PHP's leaky memory, like josephscott said |
| 21:59.33 | carmony | so the memory that child process won't grow much over time |
| 21:59.52 | carmony | However! If you're server 100 requests per second |
| 22:00.07 | carmony | it will go through 10 child processes per second |
| 22:00.40 | carmony | so that is a lot of overhead the server will be doing (and chewing up CPU and time), spinning up new children to handle requests. |
| 22:01.00 | herlo | well, I misstated anyway, but yeah we did have memory issues |
| 22:01.06 | carmony | yeah |
| 22:01.13 | carmony | so if you're having memory issues, you can turn that down |
| 22:01.21 | carmony | if you're having CPU, response time issues, you can turn it up |
| 22:02.09 | carmony | or you can go with the unhelpful dork response and say "der, use nginx" |
| 22:02.22 | mindjuju | :) |
| 22:02.27 | herlo | httpd is plenty configurable |
| 22:03.07 | carmony | yeah |
| 22:03.18 | carmony | mindjuju: so what are you trying to accomplish? |
| 22:03.24 | carmony | like, are you having current issues |
| 22:04.11 | mindjuju | yeah, out of memory issues |
| 22:04.40 | carmony | so your server goes into swap and things slow down painfullty |
| 22:04.50 | carmony | if not freeze up all together |
| 22:05.01 | mindjuju | yup freezes up and dies |
| 22:05.20 | mindjuju | i've stepped down some ov the settings |
| 22:05.31 | mindjuju | maxrequestperchild was at 5k |
| 22:05.34 | carmony | Does it take a long time for this to happen? like hours or even days? or does it fill up the memory pretty quick |
| 22:05.34 | mindjuju | no, i didn't set this |
| 22:06.12 | mindjuju | it can go days without a problem, and then suddenly pow, it's down |
| 22:06.41 | carmony | what kind of app is the web server running? |
| 22:07.11 | josephscott | s/launch/launching/ |
| 22:07.25 | mindjuju | 3 wordpress blogs and some custom php code that is all backend stuff |
| 22:07.52 | mindjuju | but i just heard from our seo specialist that he was retweeted by some twitter guy with like a billion followers |
| 22:08.01 | carmony | ok, is the php code for your backend stuff pretty narly and heafty? Like it'll crunch tons and tons of data for reports |
| 22:08.17 | mindjuju | and he's had his stuff posted on slashdot and the like, so i've had the server fail from sheer number of requests |
| 22:08.35 | josephscott | any caching? wp total cache? |
| 22:09.11 | mindjuju | so in his email, he actually says he's disabled all caching , says he was having a problem |
| 22:09.28 | mindjuju | i'm not a big fan of the arrangement where he can turn on and off things without saying anything |
| 22:09.36 | carmony | ok, caching is cruuuuuucial |
| 22:09.40 | mindjuju | until server crash |
| 22:09.50 | mindjuju | yeah, you and me both |
| 22:09.53 | carmony | Couldn't you make him an author and not an admin? |
| 22:09.58 | carmony | or like an editor |
| 22:10.01 | mindjuju | plus i just learned about batcache |
| 22:10.05 | mindjuju | and i'm interested to find out |
| 22:10.56 | josephscott | if the wp site is only hosted off of one server wp total cache would be fine |
| 22:11.14 | josephscott | but yeah, I'm with carmony, sounds like this guy should not be an admin |
| 22:11.48 | carmony | can wp total cache use memcache? |
| 22:12.05 | josephscott | no, it writes to disk |
| 22:12.20 | josephscott | if you want to use memcached, then you need to go with something like batcache or w3 total cache |
| 22:12.34 | josephscott | sorry, you probably meant w3 total cache :-) |
| 22:13.29 | mindjuju | so josephscott, who was talking about batcache, was that you? |
| 22:13.47 | josephscott | yep |
| 22:14.02 | mindjuju | it's the soup du jour? better than the rest now? |
| 22:14.06 | mindjuju | so i should go with that one? |
| 22:14.39 | josephscott | I don't have much experience with w3 total cache, so I can't say exactly how it compares |
| 22:15.00 | josephscott | I will say that it is more of kitchen sink plugin, tries to do a ton of stuff, which is both good and bad |
| 22:16.38 | *** join/#uphpu ninnypants2 (~ninnypant@76.8.192.78) |
| 22:21.31 | carmony | I just installed w3 total cache |
| 22:21.43 | carmony | and it definitely is a kitchen sink approach |
| 22:21.48 | carmony | where you can enable all sorts of stuff |
| 22:22.28 | carmony | but I like how I can enable it to use memcached |
| 22:23.43 | josephscott | I've seen one or two reports that it is overly aggressive in caching some data, which causes problems in specific cases |
| 22:24.03 | josephscott | like I said, we use batcache on wordpress.com, so that is what I'm familiar with |
| 22:24.13 | josephscott | I've also used it on my personal sites as well |
| 22:26.42 | beandog | oh look, quitting time! |
| 22:30.35 | herlo | bye! |
| 22:43.10 | SunSparc | Good one beandog |
| 22:43.16 | beandog | heh |
| 22:50.11 | carmony | I'm debating switching my person site to php-fpm and nginx |
| 22:51.41 | carmony | Doh, I think I hung my server up by sieging itself |
| 22:55.49 | josephscott | $random-number |
| 22:55.49 | raifbot | josephscott your number is : 943,269,143 |
| 22:55.52 | josephscott | $chuck-fact |
