I’m hoping to hear from users who have experience scaling out (adding apache servers) websites to cope with extra demand to learn from them. My query isn’t specific to any version of Apache2 and falls under the category “if I have added as much RAM, CPU, Network capacity as the server can hold how to I go about adding additional apache servers so the demand/load is spread by a LB across numerous apache servers?” I’m particularly interested to hear how the content to serve (var/www/site1/) is kept consistent across the different servers especially if visitors to the site would be uploading content themselves. I tried the FAQ, mailing list archive and documentation but can’t come across any advice on the matter. Do other apache admins recommend a shared storage implementation or syncing content? Would having php run with mod_suphp (suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners) complicate the matter as regards permissions & ownership or is there also a way to deal with it? Thanks in advance Michael |
