Hi everyone, I have been using Magnolia for some time, it works very well.
Because I have lots of content in Magnolia, also includes some multimedia files, which make Magnolia run slowly. So I want to try different database, see if I can find a way to improve the performance. By the way, I am testing Magnolia 2.1.5 on Windows 2003, with Tomcat 5.5.15. I have tried Berkeley DB, which I thought will be much better. But the results are not very convincing. Berkeley DB does use less memory, but the improvement of performance is not obvious, in some situations, it's slower than Derby. So I change to MySQL. In my memory, no one here has been talking about using MySQL in Magnolia 2, so I don't even know if it's possible. But I thought Magnolia uses Jackrabbit as JCR implementation, once Jackrabbit can support MySQL, so can Magnolia. So I use Jackrabbit 1.0.1 for Magnolia 2.1.5 and use the configuration file for MySQL from Magnolia 3.0 RC2. Start Tomcat and everything looks fine, bootstrap can load all data to Magnolia and I can see tables are created in MySQL. But I do have problems. 1. Once I shutdown Tomcat and startup again, Magnolia can not start. It looks like Magnolia is looking for /server but can not find it. 2. Once I know I can not shutdown Tomcat, ok I just keep Tomcat running. But after some time, Magnolia lost connection to MySQL! I think my questions are: 1. Can I use MySQL in Magnolia 2.1.5? If yes, how? 2. How to improve performance of Magnolia, especially with lots of big files inside?
