stas 02/05/10 00:02:10 Added: src/download third_party.pod Log: added a new file "additional software", basically the Appendix A of the guide Submitted by: Thomas Klausner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Revision Changes Path 1.1 modperl-docs/src/download/third_party.pod Index: third_party.pod =================================================================== =head1 NAME Additional Software =head1 Description Where to get software written by other parties that might be usefull (or neccessary) when running mod_perl. =head1 Perl Perl is probably already installed on your machine, but you should at least check the version you are using. It is highly recommended that you have at least Perl version 5.004. You can get the latest perl version from http://www.perl.com/ . Try the direct download link http://www.perl.com/pace/pub/perldocs/latest.html . You can get Perl documentation from the same location (although copious documentation is included in the downloaded Perl distribution). =head1 CPAN Downloads You can download most of the Perl modules from CPAN. There are many mirrors of this site. The main site's URL is http://cpan.org/. You may want to search the Perl modules database by using http://search.cpan.org/. Either use the search form, or type in the name of the package the module is distributed in. For example if you are looking for C<Apache::DumpHeaders>, you can type: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Apache-DumpHeaders . =head1 Apache Get the latest Apache webserver and documentation from http://www.apache.org . Try the direct download link http://www.apache.org/dist/ . =head1 Squid - Internet Object Cache http://squid.nlanr.net/ Squid Linux 2.x Redhat RPMs : http://home.earthlink.net/~intrep/linux/ =head1 thttpd - tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/ =head1 mod_throttle_access http://www.fremen.org/apache/mod_throttle_access.html =head1 mod_proxy_add_forward Ask Bjoern Hansen has written the C<mod_proxy_add_forward.c> module for Apache that sets the C<X-Forwarded-For> field when doing a ProxyPass, similar to what Squid does. His module is available from one of these URLs: http://modules.apache.org/, http://develooper.com/code/mpaf/mod_proxy_add_forward.c or http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/ABH/mod_proxy_add_forward.c, complete with instructions on how to compile it and whatnot. =head1 httperf -- webserver Benchmarking tool http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/David_Mosberger/httperf.html =head1 http_load -- another webserver Benchmarking tool http://www.acme.com/software/http_load/ =head1 ab -- ApacheBench ApacheBench comes with the Apache distribution. =head1 Daquiri -- yet another webserver Benchmarking tool should be available from the mod_backhand CVS tree: http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ =head1 High-Availability and Load Balancing Projects =head2 mod_backhand -- Load Balancing for Apache http://www.backhand.org/mod_backhand/ =head2 mod_redundancy mod_redundancy is a module that works with Apache webserver. It creates a Master/Slave Relationship between two physical webservers. The Slave takes over the IP-Address(es) and the Webservice(s) in case of a failure of the Master. One of the clues of this solution is, that the Redundancy/Failover-Configuration is made inside the Apache-Configfile. The product is neither OSS, nor free :( The homepage of mod_redundancy is http://www.ask-the-guru.com . =head2 High-Availability Linux Project You will find the definitive guide to load balancing techniques at the High-Availability Linux Project site -- http://linux-ha.org/ =head2 lbnamed - a Load Balancing Name Server Written in Perl http://www.stanford.edu/~riepel/lbnamed/ http://www.stanford.edu/~riepel/lbnamed/bof.talk/ http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/lbnamed/lbnamed.html =head2 Network Address Translation and Networks: Virtual Servers (Load Balancing) http://www.csn.tu-chemnitz.de/~mha/linux-ip-nat/diplom/node4.html#SECTION00043100000000000000 =head2 Linux Virtual Server Project http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ =head2 Efficient Support for P-HTTP in Cluster-Based Web Servers (with Mohit Aron and Willy Zwaenepoel.) In Proceedings of the USENIX 1999 Annual Technical Conference, Monterey, CA, June 1999. http://www.cs.rice.edu/~druschel/usenix99lard.ps.gz http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/usenix99/full_papers/aron/aron_html/index.html =head2 IP Filter The latest ip filter includes some simple load balancing code, that allows a round-robin distribution onto several machines via ipnat. That may be a simple solution for a few specific load problem. http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ =head1 Apache::Request The package name is I<libapreq>. Get it from your favorite CPAN mirror at $CPAN/authors/id/DOUGM/ or from http://perl.apache.org/dist/. =head1 DataBases Low-Cost Unix Database Differences (a little bit outdated..) http://www.toodarkpark.org/computers/dbs.html My collection of various links to databases implementations http://stason.org/TULARC/webmaster/db.html =head1 libgtop LibGTop is a library that fetches system related information such as CPU Load, Memory Usage and information about running processes. The module C<GTop> provides a Perl interface to this library. http://home-of-linux.org/gnome/libgtop/ =head1 Maintainers Maintainer is the person(s) you should contact with updates, corrections and patches. =over =item * Stas Bekman E<lt>stas (at) stason.orgE<gt> =back =head1 Authors =over =item * Stas Bekman E<lt>stas (at) stason.orgE<gt> =back Only the major authors are listed above.
