| 12:34 | osmoze | hop :) |
| 15:46 | shaun | 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 | 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 | make sure your firewalling is right, so the machines can see each other | |
| 16:08 | otherwise, it doesn't give us any particular trouble | |
| 16:09 | shaun | 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 | is there any concept of running koha remote from the box with the webserver? | |
| 16:11 | 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 | s/grabs the database/connects to the database | |
| 16:14 | si | I'd tend towards the http proxy |
| 16:15 | but the mysql approach maybe easier | |
| 16:15 | depending on how fast the intervening network/firewall is | |
| 16:15 | your third option, of course, is mysql replication | |
| 16:15 | if the external view is mainly readonly | |
| 16:15 | 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 | from a locking POV | |
| 16:17 | 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 | i have to go, thanks for the advice | |
| 03:08 | osmoze | hello from france :) |
| 09:04 | thd | kados: are you lurking? |
