Hi, I am very close to rolling out an upgrade to a site using installer/ buildout from an older version and need a bit of help on configuring my environment.
Currently, the site has 4 zope clients with one zeo server and is fronted by Apache. It is running on a OSX server. The clients run on ports 8081,8082,8082 & 8084 The relevant portions in httpd.conf Apache config file (that seem to be specific to my setup) are: ==================== <Proxy Balancer://lb> BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8081 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8082 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8083 BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8084 </Proxy> ProxyRequests Off CacheEnable disk / CacheRoot "/opt/local/apache2/cache" ProxyPass /BTX balancer://lb/VirtualHostBase/http/intranet:80/BTX/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_BTX ProxyPassReverse /BTX balancer://lb/VirtualHostBase/http/intranet:80/BTX/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_BTX CacheDirLength 2 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A60 ExpiresByType image/bmp A3600 ExpiresByType image/gif A3600 ExpiresByType image/ief A3600 ExpiresByType image/jpeg A3600 ExpiresByType image/png A3600 ExpiresByType image/tiff A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-cmu-raster A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-portable-anymap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-portable-bitmap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-portable-graymap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-portable-pixmap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-rgb A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-xbitmap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-xpixmap A3600 ExpiresByType image/x-xwindowdump A3600 ExpiresByType audio/basic A3600 ExpiresByType audio/midi A3600 ExpiresByType audio/mpeg A3600 ExpiresByType audio/x-aiff A3600 ExpiresByType audio/x-pn-realaudio A3600 ExpiresByType audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin A3600 ExpiresByType audio/x-realaudio A3600 ExpiresByType audio/x-wav A3600 ExpiresByType video/mpeg A3600 ExpiresByType video/quicktime A3600 ExpiresByType video/x-msvideo A3600 ExpiresByType video/x-sgi-movie A3600 ExpiresByType text/css A3600 ExpiresByType text/javascript A3600 ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A3600 ExpiresByType text/html A3600 ExpiresByType text/xml A3600 RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /BTX/ [R] RewriteRule ^/BTI(/)?$ /BTX/ [R] ========================= >From this I'm surmising that Apache is handling load balancing across my clients and also the rewrite rules so my Varnish would, I guess, be behind(?) Apache However, with this installation, I would like to also install Varnish using the recipe at : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.recipe.varnish I will be running the upgraded site on ports 8091,8092,8093 & 8094 (Zeo address on 8101) which, obviously I will be configuring in my buildout. Am I right in thinking that I once I have amended my Apache Load Balancing ports appropriately (to 8091,8092,8093 & 8094) , I need to amend my varnish recipe to read thus: [varnish-instance] backends = /VirtualHostBase/http/intranet:80/BTX:127.0.0.1:8000 Start Varnish and set up CacheFu with my caching policies? ...or have I misunderstood? (This is all alien territory for me, as you may have already grasped!) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Production-Environment-with-first-try-of-Buildout-and-Varnish-tp3602329p3602329.html Sent from the Installation, Setup, Upgrades mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list Setup@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
