Cheers Bill, If both webservers are using a single database, then their data should be synchronized. What other things are you looking to synchronize?
You might want to look into setting up a distributed caching system (hint: use memcached [1].) This will share the cache amongst the webservers. You might also want to put the codebase on an NFS drive and mount it on each of the webservers. If you are looking into building a scalable MediaWiki installation, I would strongly advise taking a look into Puppet [2]. \\daniel renfro [1.] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Memcached [2.] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_(software) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Traynor Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 12:09 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [MediaWiki-l] synchronizing two MW servers I have 2 application servers behind a load-balancer that both point to a 3rd server where the database lives. I'm curious if there are any best practices around keeping the two MediaWiki servers synchronized? I found Extension:WikiSync (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSync) but it doesn't look like it's still developed. I assume Wikimedia does this now, anyone know how?
