Trac has been very flaky lately, which I believe was caused by too few fcgi process allowed to spawn for https traffic. The problem was when we increased that, the resource consumption got crazy. So trac is now running on https only, and all http traffic is redirected to https.
The reason for this is that in order to run http AND https you basically end up running two instances of trac at the same time; that means we need to spawn enough fcgi processes to handle the load. This made apache consume about 830 MB of ram just to keep enough procs around to be somewhat stable. If we were to assume 1/2 the people would use http, and the other 1/2 use https, we could cut each in half, but I doubt that would be the case. So now there is only one trac running, with 500 request per process, and at minimum 4 processes ready to go (pls don't change that). If you do get a 500 error (which is still likely in high traffic times) please let me know here, so we can adjust this. kthnxbai! -- Matt Read http://mattread.info http://mattread.com -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev
