Setting Up A High-Availability Load Balancer (With Failover and Session Support) With Pound/Keepalived On Debian Etch
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, high-availability • Comments: 4Setting Up A High-Availability Load Balancer (With Failover and Session Support) With Pound/Keepalived On Debian Etch This article explains how to set up a two-node load balancer in an active/passive configuration with Pound and keepalived on Debian Etch. The load balancer sits between the user and two (or more) backend Apache web servers that hold the same content. Not only does the load balancer distribute the requests to the two backend Apache servers, it also checks the health of the backend servers. If one of them is down, all requests will automatically be redirected to the remaining backend server. In addition to that, the two load balancer nodes monitor each other using keepalived, and if the master fails, the slave becomes the master, which means the users will not notice any disruption of the service. Pound is session-aware, which means you can use it with any web application that makes use of sessions (such as forums, shopping carts, etc.).

From the eAccelerator project page: "eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times."

If, like me, you want to use IPA with CentOS, this tutorial is for you.

Benchmark: Apache2 vs. Lighttpd (Static HTML Files)
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: apache, lighttpd • Comments: 10Benchmark: Apache2 vs. Lighttpd (Static HTML Files) This benchmark shows how Apache2 (version 2.2.3) and lighttpd (version 1.4.13) perform compared to each other when delivering a static HTML file (about 50KB in size).
