Hi all,
I've recently installed MediaWiki 1.3.0beta2 (off the CVS tip) on a
Linux box and, while it works really nicely -- lots of kudos to all tje
developers out there -- I want to make sure that my server is configured
for best performance; right now response time is not super fast,
although not terrible either.
I'm running the site on a "virtual-server" 2GB 2-proc machine running
Redhat 9. I have Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6, MySQL 4.0 stable.
I installed all these myself and am using pretty much whatever the
default configurations are. I wonder if in particular for MySQL (and
perhaps Apache) I may have a sub-optimal configuration.
So I'm basically looking for hints on what configuration values people
have used for MySQL (memory, buffer sizes, cache sizes, etc), PHP (mysql
persistent connections or not?), Apache (threading module type, memory,
caveats, etc etc) that have shown good improvements.
I did just see the post on Apache settings not making much of a
difference, but maybe MySQL settings might. I don't have that many pages
or users on this new wiki (
SeattleWiki.org) yet, but I'm hoping that
will change soon, and I'm hoping to be ready for it :)
Incidentally I couldn't find a page with this info on meta.wikipedia but
maybe I didn't look hard enough. I can definitely add any useful replies
to a new "performance settings" page.
Thanks in advance,
Matias
