Hello ,

what do you meen about " CDN"




Thanks

CDN = Content Delivery Network or Content Distribution Network.

A CDN is a system of computer nodes containing copies of data such as CSS, video, images, js files, placed at various points in a network across the world.

When a client browser accesses a copy of the data near to the client, as opposed to all clients accessing the same central server so as to avoid bottleneck near that server.

For example, user in USA get data from cdn node located in USA. Same way a user located in Asia gets data from asian nodes instead of your server.

Shhh it is a secret

Nothing special a little tweaking and added mysql query caching. If forum is very large try:

• Move common assets (css/jss/logo/images) to CDN
• Tune mysql query cahce
• Use software such as APC, XCache, eAccelerator etc
• Try memcached
• Tune file system
• Add lots of memory
• Add fast Scsi 15k in RAID-10 etc

Note none of the above used at nixcraft forum except Xcache and memcached.

Hi vivek ..thanks for the tips..
can we run Xcachw and memcached on same server ?

Yes, but vb will only use one of them. memcached will run on 127.0.0.1 and xcache directly loaded via php.ini

I think xcache works better with lighttpd. For Apache APC or eAccelerator is much better. We use APC and it is quite fast, YMMV.

Xcache also works with Apache. It is a php opcache and it has nothing to do with web server.
