Just to add a side note to this thread, I was having lots of problems keeping two instances running. It had been previously suggested that to take advantage to two CPUs, running a couple instances would do the trick. I had to restart each instance quite often under that scenario though. After going back too one instance, the application has been running fine. I added further caching (memcache) for db queries and haven't had any lockups since that time. I think the SQLAlchemy problem mentioned earlier could be the source of the lockup problem.
My server is hyperthreaded so it isn't really two CPUs. In addition, the physical server is hosting 3 virtual domains (Xen). Mydrawings.com is the only domain that gets substantial traffic (We got Dugg Saturday by the way) but the resources are indeed divided between the 3 domains. I can't test for sure right now, but this setup could be part of the problem with running mroe than once instance on the machine. Anyhow, I plan to upgrade SQLAlchemy and to get a 2nd physical server in operation but for the time being, our site is still surviving. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
