Re: Slow server
2) as there are many connections comming from search engines siders (90% of all the established connections), I'd like to limit the ressources that spiders are using. One way would be through IPFW, but are there better ways? Is there a way to limit/prioritize in Apache (not that I know any). Lookup mod_security rules for Apache and mod_dosevasive. mod_evasive will help prevent the spiders from opening many pages at one time Thanks for the idea. I looked at both. mod_evasive would be the one, but it keeps traffic information on a per web site basis. The problem is that I have hundred of web sites and the spider tries to access one page at a time, but one page of each web site... OK I have to dig that further.

Slow server
Hi, I am trying to deal with a server that is getting slower and slower. Machine is based on a AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 244 with 4GB memory. It is running MySQL, and Apache 13 and serving about 400 web sites written in PHP. OK the design of PHP is certainly not the most efficient, but actually the server cannot hold 50 simultaneous http connections. I am wondering: 1) what optimization I should look for in the system 2) as there are many connections comming from search engines siders (90% of all the established connections), I'd like to limit the ressources that spiders are using. One way would be through IPFW, but are there better ways? Is there a way to limit/prioritize in Apache (not that I know any).

Is there a way to limit/prioritize in Apache (not that I know any). google robots.txt which ought to limit what the spiders look at (but consequently reduces what they index, as well). Overall, though, your problem sounds more like a piece of software bloating as it runs; the longer it runs the more memory it consumes. Does the machine end up swapping? Try tracking memory usage. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lookup mod_security rules for Apache and mod_dosevasive. mod_evasive will help prevent the spiders from opening many pages at one time mod_security has rules to detect some fake spiders and other bots and block them from the get go. Both though will add a little bit of overhead to Apache. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
