New server setup in progress
I received the new dedicated server yesterday afternoon, and have apache and mysql set up on it for the main site. Stayed up past 3am working on it. Surprisingly, I’m not dragging that much today. I’ve been running httperf on it since about 2am. It looks like it can handle about 7-9 page requests (of the front page of the site, http://MacDesktops.com/) per second right now, while simultaneously running httperf. I expect this to go down somewhat when I get the rest of my sites on it, and get the rest of the services running. In comparison, the old G3 server can barely handle 2.5-3 page requests per second while httperf is running on a separate machine.
I’m cautiously hopeful about the new server.
I need to help Michelle move this week, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish setting up the new machine. I doubt I’ll finish this week. We’ll see.
