oh, man. what a week. linux and main got really hammered by the slashdot effect monday; the site stayed up but the mysql server checked out early on, so there wasn't much to deliver.
turns out that phpnuke makes about *fifty* queries for every page that's served, which in my view is unconscionably sloppy, but i don't know what i can do about it in the short term. we've been looking at jpcache (www.jpcache.com), and it shows great promise but for the fact that it will not take "no gzip" for an answer -- the browser's "accept encoding" setting apparently overrides it. which would not be a problem except that our apache, over which we do not have control, has mod_gzip enabled, with the result that we're not sending content but gzipped content which apache gzips again, with the result that garbage arrives at the reader's desktop. i suspect that somebody who really knows his way around php could do a very good hack of jpcache that removes all references to gzip, or a quick and dirty hack which forces the thing to a value where it believes that the browser will not accept gzipped stuff, whereupon apache would gzip where appropriate not not gzip where appropriate. it's not a very big file -- 500 lines or so -- but i have no clue as to php syntax. (i imagine that all we want it to do could be done in 100 lines or less, because we know the answer to those lines and lines of "if" statements, so there's no "if" about it.) anybody around here capable of doing this? we have no money, but if you pull it off we'll sing your praises. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
