I'm new to this mailing list (but not new to Apache::ASP), and I'm
wondering whether anyone is running Apache::ASP in production with the
Worker MPM on Apache 2.x. I searched the list archives but to no avail.
We have been running Apache::ASP for over five years, and our site
(www.motorsport.com) currently handles some 10M page views per month
with Apache::ASP and MySQL -- not the heaviest traffic on the net, for
sure, but quite respectable, I think.
We are still running Apache 1.3, though, and that means one process
per connection. With 30 MB per process, we use up 4 GB of physical
memory pretty quickly with 100 or so active connections, not a really
effective use of memory in my opinion.
So as I build the next server, I'm interested in moving to Apache 2.x,
mod_perl 2.0 and Worker MPM. But will it work? I remember messing
around with mod_perl 1.9 last time around, and I recall that I could
not get things to work quite right. I may have done things wrong, or
it may just not have been ready for prime time.
Now Apache is up to 2.2 and mod_perl 2.0 is released, and these sound
good. But how well does Apache::ASP work in a multithreaded MPM
environment? I see that version 2.59 is still the current one -- is
that a good sign that it will do all I need, or does it mean that
there will be no more development?
Many thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer ...
What I have been running lately is an Apache2.2 with the worker MPM as a proxy, and a
good-old Apache1.3 with mod_perl+Apache::ASP as the "real" server. The mod_perl
server serves the dynamic ASP pages, while the front servert the static content. This is
a very typical configuration IMHO.
I could once (something like two years ago?) make Apache::ASP run with Apache 2.0, but that was a long time ago... since then, I stick to the above config - which I recommend to you if you do not want to waste too much time on figuring out all the stuff about Apache2.x and mod_perl (even though it shouldn't be too hard).
For the record: we do somewhere around 6M-8M pageviews per month (see
http://www.kepeslap.com at http://www.apache-asp.org/sites.html), which peeks
to approx. 500-700k pageviews per day in busy periods. This is a 1.8Ghz Core2
with 3G RAM, in a shared environment (with two other rather busy sites running
on the same server). CPU utilization reaches 50% of all available CPU time,
tops (I guess half of that is coming from the ASP site).
Hope this helps.
