[edit] Extensions
Just wondering what extensions you run on this wiki, particularly the one that gets [[Wikipedia:Gentoo Linux]] to point to Wikipedia:Gentoo Linux, cuz I wanna use it on mine. Masterdriverz:Talk 19:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
It's called MediaWiki and does that by default :P

[edit] Raid 5 faster ?
Just a little thing, but the author mentions that unless your HD is on a raid5 it's supposed to be slow. AFAIK a Raid5 is considerably (~20%) slower when writing than a plain disk. -- User:Mes
[edit] Use Flags
Would love to see USE flags for apache, php, mysql, squid, and mediawiki
[edit] MPM
All components of server is unthreaded (USE="-threads -ithreads"), 'cause it's only option to actually install apache+php+mod_perl+pecl_apc. So, MPM for apache is prefork, or, for those who need local security boost - itk. Acquiring this data required for me several recompilations of all complex..
[edit] Turn off logging: ok, but...
I don't understand why replacing Apache's logging with a PHP script such as phpMyVisites could help. Unless there is some serious magic going on, this script stores its data in database and I don't see how executing ~100K of PHP, connect to a database and execute a query can be faster than append a line to a file. Also, I don't see how the load could drop from 4-something to less than 1, my guess is there is something wrong with that user's configuration (no log rotation?).
The part about Google Analytics is valid, since it consumes Google's resources instead of yours.
My php script is on a separate server.. did not mention that. sorry. --Thrasher 08:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
