[cfaussie] RAM sizing on production servers

2006-03-28 Thread Scott Thornton

Hi,

What is the average amount of RAM do you guys have on your production 
coldfusion servers?

How much do you allocate to coldfusion (I think I mean allocated to jrun?) ?

I assume the machine has nothing on it except for coldfusion and an OS like 
windows 2003.

Cheers,

[cfaussie] Re: RAM sizing on production servers

2006-03-28 Thread Grant Straker

Hi Scott,

This is all down to how your application handles it memory. If you
allocate the full amount possible (approx 1GB) then you may have long
garbage collection cycles - too little and you can get out of memory
issues.

Dual processor machines will handle GC much better so you can afford to
up the JMV memory the more processors you have.

I would not like to run a windows server with less than 2GB total RAM on
the server so that you have the flexibility to go to the full 1GB JVM
memory if required.

[cfaussie] RAM sizing on production servers

2006-03-28 Thread Scott Thornton

Hi,

Ive got two zeon processors, but only 1 gig of ram.

This morning, RAM usage is running at 400 meg or so, of an allocated 512... 
with spikes of nearly 500 meg.

Just wondering what is common...

[cfaussie] Re: RAM sizing on production servers

2006-03-28 Thread Grant Straker

I would say the most common is 512 allocated as this is the default but
doesn't mean it is right for your application.

If you have an -xms setting in your jvm config then this will also mean
that the jvm will take all the memory allocated at start up.

Really, it's a tuning process - load test the app, review the GC, Mem
stats and jrun threads and then adjust your JVM (and Jrun Threads)
accordingly.

Anonymous FTP

 I have seen this on Amazon where you upload your logo into a general area
 and once it is uploaded you cannot see it, and you cannot see what everyone
 else has uploaded either..
 
 1) What do you call this feature?
 2) How does my host set it up, and do they have to have anything special
 installed?

They need to have, or install, an FTP server program.

Then configure it for Anonymous access to your upload directory.

Then ensure it's configured so that the permissions allow write access
but not read access. This lets a user upload files, but blocks the
server from showing what files are there. This is how Unix/Linux servers
do it. For Windows based FTP program there should be something similar
in the configuration area.

Most FTP server programs only have one anonymous account, and use
account names to allow access to multiple directories. If your host
already has an anonymous FTP server you might need to pay for an
extra allocated IP address to put your FTP server on.

Hey Guys,

There is a Pause Function within ColdFusion you can use to pause the
ColdFusion process then loop over that each time until a file is
created or what ever you want to do. Tis very cool
