[thelist] Apache/PHP Threading

[Pete Freitag]

I think in general it's not a good idea to make statements like that because
it's incredibly dependent on the hardware setup.  I remember working with a
client helping them tune their linux CF server, and we found the sweet spot
(most requests/sec) to be much higher than 3 threads.

My advice is that you get some web server testing software, I like OpenSTA
http://www.opensta.org it's free (some testing software costs upwards of
$50k) and works well. And keep adjusting the number of threads until you
find your sweet spot.  I've always heard Allaire/Macromedia recommend the
same approach to finding the correct number of threads (or Simultaneous
Requests as its called in the CF Administrator).  You will also the cfstat
program in the cfusion/bin directory to be useful as well.

Hello again all.

I was talking to a few people at work today about CF and the limited number
of threads it can handle on a Unix box. From what I was told, Allaire only
recommends 3 per server. 3? Gesh.

Anyhow, that got me thinking, does anyone know to tell how many threads a
Apache/Php server can handle/has handled? Something like this would prob
help me get PHP a foot in the door up there.

Any info is appreciated. I looked on the PHP site, but was unable to find
anything helpful.

Thanks

Chris
