It really depends on what you want to do. If you are running some small site more or less anything will do as it generally isn't the web server that is your bottleneck. Of course, if you are running in a memory constrained VPS you wouldn't use Apache unless you properly investigate properly how you need to configure it to work under such a constraint. If you are going to run a large site which is able to respond well to bursts in traffic, running Python embedded in Apache running prefork MPM, with huge amounts of memory in the box is generally the best approach. This is because although memory usage will be high, being non multithreaded you can use any cpu/cores to best advantage, plus you benefit from Apache's ability to create dynamically more processes to handle demand when required and then reap them when no longer required. In other words, it is impossible to answer you question without really knowing what your site is doing, how big it is, amount of traffic etc etc. Graham --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
