  • Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers
    Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers Adam Pi´orkowski1, Aleksander Kempny2, Adrian Hajduk1, and Jacek Strzelczyk1 1 Department of Geoinfomatics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland {adam.piorkowski,jacek.strzelczyk}@agh.edu.pl http://www.agh.edu.pl 2 Adult Congenital and Valvular Heart Disease Center University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany [email protected] http://www.ukmuenster.de Abstract. A load balancing issue for heterogeneous web servers is de- scribed in this article. The review of algorithms and solutions is shown. The selected Internet service for on-line echocardiography training is presented. The independence of simultaneous requests for this server is proved. Results of experimental tests are presented3. Key words: load balancing, scalability, web server, minimum response time, throughput, on-line simulator 1 Introduction Modern web servers can handle millions of queries, although the performance of a single node is limited. Performance can be continuously increased, if the services are designed so that they can be scaled. The concept of scalability is closely related to load balancing. This technique has been used since the beginning of the first distributed systems, including rich client architecture. Most of the complex web systems use load balancing to improve performance, availability and security [1{4]. 2 Load Balancing in Cluster of web servers Clustering of web servers is a method of constructing scalable Internet services. The basic idea behind the construction of such a service is to set the relay server 3 This is the accepted version of: Piorkowski, A., Kempny, A., Hajduk, A., Strzelczyk, J.: Load Balancing for Heterogeneous Web Servers.

Hi I'm jessamyn and I can't program my way out of a paper bag. Yay it's 2009 so I don't have to! Here's what I do know how to do. Back in the old days, when you wanted a website of your cat and you couldn't code or ftp, it looked like this. Remember GeoCities? In fact, the cat thing was such a tired metaphor that GeoCities used it in their PageBuilder ads. times have changed even by today's standards This worked for like... 5-10 years depending on who you are. Then things changed quickly. Now when you have a website with your cat, other people put words in her mouth. Who knew your cat was such a terrible speller? Now if your cat has a website, your cat has a blog. Or your cat has gone social. You can let other people rate your cat, submit their own cat, look at a random cat There are social networks for cats! This isn't a case of "which is better" exactly, but just that we can get computers to do some of the grunt work of presenting and maintaining content on the web. Neat. Using wordpress to run a website, for example, makes running that website easier *even if you have no dynamic content at all*! Content is king.

The Application of Drupal to Website Development in Academic Libraries Cristina Tofan Eastern Kentucky University Libraries 1. Introduction Academic libraries think very carefully about how they design their website, because the website is the primary avenue to provide access to resources, do library instruction, promote collections, services and events, and connect with students, faculty and potential donors. Library websites are expected to be able to respond to two major types of needs: to offer high functionality to the patrons, and to allow librarians and library staff to participate in the un‐intermediated creation and publication of content. Web content management systems are software systems that provide tools for both. In the realm of open source content management systems, Drupal has the lead compared to other systems, in its adoption in libraries.

  • Linux Install and Configure Pound Reverse Proxy for Apache Http / Https Web Server 21/03/2011 15:17
    Linux install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache http / https web server 21/03/2011 15:17 About Blog Forum Low graphics Shell Scripts RSS/Feed Flash Linux FAQ / Howtos Linux install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache http / https web server by Vivek Gite on December 11, 2007 · 21 comments Q. How do I install and configure pound reverse proxy for Apache web sever under Debian Linux? A. Pound is a reverse-proxy load balancing server. It accepts requests from HTTP / HTTPS clients and distributes them to one or more Web servers. The HTTPS requests are decrypted and passed to the back- ends as plain HTTP. It will act as: a) Server load balancer b) Reverse proxy server c) Apache reverse proxy etc d) It can detects when a backend server fails or recovers, and bases its load balancing decisions on this information: if a backend server fails, it will not receive requests until it recovers e) It can decrypts https requests to http ones f) Rejects incorrect requests h) It can be used in a chroot environment (security feature) If more than one back-end server is defined, Pound chooses one of them randomly, based on defined priorities. By default, Pound keeps track of associations between clients and back-end servers (sessions). Install Pound Software Type the following command to install pound: $ sudo apt-get install pound If you are using RHEL / CentOS, grab pound rpm here and type the command: # rpm -ivh pound* If you are using FreeBSD, enter: # cd /usr/ports/www/pound/ && make install clean How it works? Let us assume your public IP address 202.54.1.5.

  • Key Configurations and Some Apis
    APPENDIX A Key Configurations and Some APIs THIS APPENDIX CONTAINS some of the key development configurations for Zope, Plone, and Python. This appendix provides information for developers of sites, and it also lists some ofthe most usefulApplication Programming Interfaces (APIs). Setting Up Your Environment The following sections relate to configuring your development or production environment for optimal usage. If you're developing a lot with Plone, I rec­ ommend these settings. Setting Up PYTHONPATH Setting up PYTHONPATH is extremely useful because it allows you to easily access all the Zope functionality from a Python prompt. You can easily test if you have this set up-you can just attempt to import the PageTemplate module from Products. If this isn't set up, you should see the following: $ python -c "import Products.PageTemplates" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named Products.PageTemplates Unix} Linux} and Mac OS X First, find the Products directory of your Zope installation (not the instance horne). On the standard installation, this is at /opt/Zope- 2.7 /lib/python; on Windows it's at c: \Program Files\Plone\Zope\lib\python. When Python starts, it reads an envi­ ronmentvariable called PYTHONPATH and puts all those directories in thatvariable into the search path for new modules. So you need to add your directory to that variable. 465 AppendixA You do this using the export command, to see if PYTHONPATH contains anything initially, run the following: $ export I grep PYTHONPATH declare -x PYTHONPATH="/home/andy/modules" In my case, I already have an environment variable called PYTHONPATH, although chances are your computer won't have this set up.
