Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Virtual hosting with AOLserver 4

Collapse
Posted by Don Baccus on
The single process virtual hosting solution AOLserver 4.0 provides may indeed be more economical of resources.  You can either have all virtual servers share one big pool of threads or you can give each virtual server its own private pool, for instance.  The first approach should work well if you're running a bunch of low-traffic sites, the latter approach for virtual servers that are high-traffic and need a guaranteed number of threads to keep up.

It is a drag needing to restart all servers rather than just one, though.  But with the use of the APM watch etc restarts should be rare.  I haven't restarted birdnotes.net in months ...

Be certain to grab the patches for Tcl 8.4.2 or to wait for Tcl 8.4.3 before switching, though ...
