Are you trying to migrate from CentOs & Apache to Fedora & Nginx?
You're tireless!
Just curiosity, why? Is the Fedora machine another server?

    Im trying to use nginx with FastCGI and php-fpm. But I didnt succeed...

    Sometimes there are above 40 ++ users online in JCJP at the same time and the page could not be loaded... so frustrating.

    I want the site to grow but when there are 40 above users online, the page cant be loaded ??? ahhh

    I think I'll just leave it as it is now, with Apache and prefork MPM...

    Do you know anything about these things? like switching Apache from prefork to worker mpm?
  • spanz
    Sadly, no. I have no idea about those things, but making a bulletin thread about it won't hurt. There are experts everywhere.
    Well, I know one thing: 40 users should be a piece of cake for every http server out there, so something's definitely wrong.
    I'm sure there's a lot of documentation, so take your time and fix it.
    It's an important issue, so if you must shutdown the site for a while, please do it (make an announce, though).

    Aren't there distros with Apache worker mpm preconfigured?
  • beeant
    i dont know, but this server is preconfigured with CentOS.

    ya 40 users should be a piece of cake, I dont know why this happens.

    I will just leave the server as it is now.

    I tried in the old server with fake traffic. it was ok.... even it only has 256MB of RAM. Something is wrong...

    Anoo... I don't really know what I'm talking about but I see a difference between JCJP and all other sites I've tried today.

    Looking at HTTP header requests & responses in FireBug, all the requests include:
    Keep-Alive 115
    Connection keep-alive
    But all JCJP responses include:
    Connection close
    (That's even for static content)


    In all the other sites I've tried, the HTTP response header includes:
    Connection keep-alive
    Or in other cases, there's not a Connection field.

    It seems your server doesn't permit HTTP persistent connections at all.
    Are you blocking keepalive connections? That will produce a lot of unnecesary traffic, ne?

    As I don't really know this things, this is probably a stupidity, so you are free to kick my ass and shut my mouth.

    thats bcos I disabled keepalive connection. I've been told that keepalive connection will take some resources of the server. so I turn it off.

    If you take a look at high traffic sites HTTP header requests, it seems like most of them closed the connection. try facebook
  • spanz
    Please, don't pay atention to me.
    I don't want to waste your time, but your example is not valid.

    Facebook uses keep-alive for its static contents.
    Same for Yahoo.
    Same for Microsot.

    Youtube and Google don't say anything, so I don't know.

    I can't find a site like JCJP.

    By the way, Youtube is using Apache with lighttpd as a proxy for static content.
    Other sites use Apache & nginx for static content.

    Sorry again. My ass is ready for your kick (with k!). :p


  • beeant
    I just checked in http://web-sniffer.net/, it says, connection close. maybe if its not logged in?

    I will research some more about KeepAlive connection
  • spanz
    How strange!
    Under FireBug, the Facebook.com main page response is closed, but all the rest are keep-alive.
    For example, this is a .png url from the main page:
    http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zEX21/hash/75j4m1ms.png

    Response header under FireBug:

    Server: Apache/1.3.41.fb2
    Last-Modified: Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT
    Content-Length: 2209
    X-Cnection: close
    Content-Type: image/png
    Cache-Control: public, max-age=25573840
    Expires: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 19:16:37 GMT
    Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 19:25:57 GMT
    Connection: keep-alive

    But if you test that url in web-sniffer.net you get:

    Server: Apache/1.3.41.fb2
    Pragma:
    Last-Modified: Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT
    Content-Length: 2209
    X-Cnection: close
    Content-Type: image/png
    Cache-Control: public, max-age=25573655
    Expires: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 19:17:44 GMT
    Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 19:30:09 GMT
    Connection: close

    How's that possible?

    Anyway, the persistent connection is supposed to reduce the traffic reusing the connections, so it should reduce also the resources used in the server.
  • spanz
    web-sniffer.net sends its requests with Connection = close, so the response is going to be also close.
    FireFox sends its requests with Connection = keep-alive
    This probably explain the difference.
  • beeant
    ok i will try to turn it on. and see what will happen.

    I just turn it on now.

    Thanks!
  • beeant
    I tried to turn it on, and tried http://loadimpact.com/ and its dead at 10 clients.

    I tried to turn it off, its still works at 10 clients but slow
  • spanz
    Sorry to hear that. It was only an idea. :(
