I use Ubuntu, Apache, Python 2.6, PostgreSQL, mod_wsgi. For the love of god don't use CentOS for python web applications.
Just make sure to follow ALL of the web2py performance enhancements. * Compile the app * Sessions to database * Make sure all database tables are designed to be thread safe (ie: don't do things like this... db.table.insert(myid=db(db.table.id > 0).select(orderby=~db.table.myid, limitby=(0,1)).first().myid + 1)) Also you might want to consider only using form.accepts(request.vars)... when using sessions with forms can cause reliability issues, even if your sessions are in the database. http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11?search=performance#Efficiency-and-Scalability -- Thadeus On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 7:05 AM, Kenneth <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I´m in the process of starting a newer server for my web2py > applications and would like to hear your comments about what to use. > > Anything about hardware that I should remeber? > > As linux version I´m planing on using CentOS 5.5 as we use it on all > our servers. > Webserver: Apache and database MySQL. > The server will not be runing anything other than web2py > applications. > > Which python should I use?
