RE: Load Ballancing

2001-01-15 Thread Scott Thompson

Excellent info, I will likely then just have some on one line and some
clients on another and just watch the line loads. I have used ntop like I
use top for sampling the bandwidth usage. Is there something better that I
can use? I don't have any routers or hubs in place, just dsl into the
network card. I find that the ntop segmentfaults very often so it's ok for
guestamating but that's about it. (running v.1.2a7 of ntop by the way)

Thanks again.

Load Ballancing

2001-01-15 Thread Scott Thompson

I have a small server on a DSL line. We have grown to the point that it's
not quite enough to handle the peak traffic time nicely. I would like to add
another DSL line to my network and be able to have it load balance between
the two. Is this something that is possible, or do I just try to divide the
clients through the 2 lines and just be as aware as I can to the needs of
both lines?

Thanks in advance.

Talking to a POP server.

2000-10-04 Thread Scott Thompson

Hello once again list. I am currently writing an online mail service similar
to hotmail or yahoo mail. I have all the elements in place except for one.
In C, how do I talk to a POP server? Is there something like 'sendmail' that
I use to easily send all my mail messages, but for receiving mail from a pop
server?

Thanks in advance!

We use sendmail all the time to send messages from CGI applications.  We
would now like to be able to send binary file attachments.  I realize that
we will have to encode the files before we can attach them, two questions,
first how do I get sendmail to actually 'attach' the encoded file to the

Multiple 'timed' Autoresponders

2000-09-08 Thread Scott Thompson
I have a need for a service, and am quite prepated to write a little C to
take care of it. My Linux administrator suggested that it would be about the
only way that he is aware of doing what I need. I just wanted to put forth
my requirements and see if someone had done, or has an idea for me.

I would like to have the ability to send out multiple timed autoresponses.
I.E.
1) When a message is received, immediately send out a 'I got this message'
response
2) 5 Days later send out another autoresponder
3) 14 Days later send out a follow up autoresponse...
etc.

Some clients want more, some want less and the day interval needs to be
different from user to user. Also, keep in mind that each autoresponse is a
different message. I relize that I will likely have to build a web interface
to manage these responses, I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to code
the actual mailing and managment of the times.

Thanks!

Was PHP installed as a server module or as a CGI app?

CGI PHP vs. CGI C of course the former is slower.

I'd like to compare modphp vs CGI C in your setup. Best way of course
would be to write your own dedicated server module in C. Best for
performance, of course...

Rather surprised by that, wonder what the hit rate was.  On the web server I
run which has been pretty busy at times (1GB served less than a week, daily
access logs of 60-70MB), the php and apache usage was virtually undectable,
p3 650 256MB.

Basically DB access and network download times, swamped out anything that
the PHP interpreter does.

RE: sort of a load balancing question

2000-08-24 Thread Scott Thompson
We do that here. But the difference is it's not totally automated. If the
primary server goes down for whatever reason, our admin's pager will go off,
he lives 6 minutes from the office and 7 minutes from the backup server in
another building. Simply he goes and get's the backup server, restarts it
and at the lilo prompt he types 'clone' and we are back up and running.

Granted this puts us down for about 15 minutes, but it's there!

Hi,
This is not a really load balancing question, but similar sort
of thing.

We are an isp here and we would like to set up two webservers
that are completely tranparent(rsync daily).

We will only be using one webserver to server all the pages, but
if it goes down, we would like the second webserver to take over
without any downtime.

Is there any programs out there that does this?

Thanks.

RE: sort of a load balancing question

2000-08-24 Thread Scott Thompson

We do that here. But the difference is it's not totally automated. If the
primary server goes down for whatever reason, our admin's pager will go off,
he lives 6 minutes from the office and 7 minutes from the backup server in
another building. Simply he goes and get's the backup server, restarts it
and at the lilo prompt he types 'clone' and we are back up and running.

Granted this puts us down for about 15 minutes, but it's there!

Subject: sort of a load balancing question


Hi,
This is not a really load balancing question, but similar sort
of thing.

We are an isp here and we would like to set up two webservers
that are completely tranparent(rsync daily).

We will only be using one webserver to server all the pages, but
if it goes down, we would like the second webserver to take over
without any downtime.

Is there any programs out there that does this?

Thanks.

Shao.

Very easy to get started with these people. They also have a cart solution
that requires no software to speak of. Check it out, they will set you up
with a merchant account too if need be.

Webmail service addition

2000-07-19 Thread Scott Thompson
I would prefer not to have to run *SQL etc. I ultimatly would like the
service to simply plug into my existing service. I do run mySQL but I really
don't want to pound that kind of overhead (on installation and maintenance
as well as sql server load).

Thanks again

webmail service.

2000-07-19 Thread Scott Thompson
Hello all. I am looking for information or links to a webmail program. I am
running Debian 2.0.38 with apache. My linux administrator is quite firm
about 'debian released packages' so if there are any that fit into that
category, that would be best, if not, any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated from any of you that have installed and maintain a service like
this.

My needs are low as well, I have about 350 active domains with about 1200
email accounts. I can't really see more that 25% of the users wanting the
service, but as you all know, in this day and age, it's the service and
features that make or break us!

Many Thanks

RE: IDE or SCSI ??

I agree, I have about 340 active domains, and my stats for may's webserver
traffic was

My machine is a P2 350 with 250 megs of ram. I am RARELY over .75 load

One thing to consider is the amount of load.  300 domains * 300 visits /
86400 seconds in a day = 1.03 visits per second.

For such a small load I doubt that you'll need much IO, memory, or CPU,
unless it's all CGI-BIN stuff.

I use weblog and logtools from www.awsd.com/scripts These are well written
reports and create very nice reports. I does a decent job of tracking
visits, page views and various top 10 lists and full details reports.
Keyword, referer and agent reports as well.

Analog for text stats that you can email to people, Webalyzer for pretty
graphical stats that you can put up on the web. We use both.
