static file server
June 08, 2009, 08:52:02 am
I was experimenting with hiving off static files to a separate server, with the idea of getting more scaling out of my main mod php server. It's sort of working with Drupal.

For civicrm the code seems well setup for this, with all the static files sitting nicely in their own folders and a property pointing to the right url that can be tweaked [i was doing this a while ago and forgot exactly where..]. Of course, you can't do this for https connections or browsers complain, but I wonder if anyone's thought about this or implemented it?

heard good things about percona from jeremy z's blog (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/)

i suspect it should work. Been on my list of things to try, but no compelling reason as yet :)

for static gif / html etc, you can set the resource url in administer civicrm >> global settings >> urls

Hi,

Another option is to have a light web serber (lighttpd, ningx) as a frontend and proxy and have fastcgi server(s) on another machine to do the php thing

yes, but it doesn't work (or didn't on the version i tried) because somewhere in the code it gets the domain chopped off.

i added a little patch that prevents that if the domain is different, but there were still some issues as i recall.

argh

that was a change in 2.2. Do you want to file an issue and contribute that patch back. Getting that working again should not be too hard (or so i hope)

okay for those of you following along at home, for 2.2.5 i made this replacement:

diff Config.php /home/drupal/civicrm/2.2.1/CRM/Core
397c397
<             $this->resourceBase = $rrb['path'];
---
>             $this->resourceBase = ($rrb['host'] == $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? $rrb['path'] : $this->userFrameworkResourceURL;

I'll file a bug report too.

lobo: thanks for putting this in.

it would appear that no one is actually using this feature - i've discovered that the contact editing page doesn't work when you enable the resource urls on a different domain.
