does anybody here have experience of running apache and mysql on different servers? |
| 15:58 |
|
si |
shaun: we do at Katipo from time to time |
| 16:04 |
|
shaun |
si: any comments on the performance or requirements? |
| 16:07 |
|
si |
not particularly |
| 16:07 |
|
si |
it won't be as fast as on the box, OTOH, if the box is loaded doing other stuff, you could stillget peroformance improvements |
| 16:07 |
|
si |
make sure your firewalling is right, so the machines can see each other |
| 16:08 |
|
si |
otherwise, it doesn't give us any particular trouble |
| 16:09 |

it's in a big-network environment - all the mysql is on one server, running ldap, the cms and koha, so either apache runs on there and the DMZ server runs mod_proxy, or apache runs on the DMZ box and connects (just port 3306) to the internal server |
| 16:10 |
|
si |
but isn't koha in apache? |
| 16:10 |
|
si |
is there any concept of running koha remote from the box with the webserver? |
| 16:11 |
|
si |
koha isn't a standalong application, it needs a web server to sit on |
| 16:13 |
|
shaun |
yes - it's mainly a security concern; there are two sides to it, DMZ and firewalled, only one server can reside in the DMZ and that will certainly run apache, it's just whether it runs mod_proxy to grab the apache stuff from the internal server, or whether it doesn't run mod_proxy and instead grabs the database from the firewalled server |
| 16:14 |
|
shaun |
s/grabs the database/connects to the database |
| 16:14 |
|
si |
I'd tend towards the http proxy |
| 16:15 |
|
si |
but the mysql approach maybe easier |
| 16:15 |
|
si |
depending on how fast the intervening network/firewall is |
| 16:15 |
|
si |
your third option, of course, is mysql replication |
| 16:15 |
|
si |
if the external view is mainly readonly |
| 16:15 |
|
si |
for an opac, for example |
| 16:16 |
|
shaun |
the external view will run the intranet as well, so i dismissed that |
| 16:16 |
|
si |
so you're going to have two boxes running the intranet? |
| 16:17 |
|
si |
from a locking POV |
| 16:17 |
|
si |
I guess it'll be ok |
| 16:17 |
|
shaun |
it's all gigabit+ inside - i would say security is much more of a concern than speed though |
| 16:27 |
|
shaun |
i have to go, thanks for the advice |
