Hi Karl,
In the standard installation of WebTen, there is
only one cache
switched on. Code Red did nothing to my WebTen
server, but Nimda made it
stop serving on intermittent occasions,
sometimes every few hours,
sometimes only after 4 or 5 days.
You can switch the cache off via the WebTen web
admin. I found it
made quite a difference to general speed.
I previously used a Resedit hack that was posted
to the WebTen list
& it also made a speed difference. People
running G3 & better servers may
not notice the speed difference quite so much. If
you go back through the
archives, you'll find it, but if you can't, email me
back & I'll go back
through my old saved mail.
My general rule of thumb is to load up WebTen's
webmail to see how
speed is going (it's normally the slowest thing to
get up & running).
I also had problems with NetTen's speed when I
ran it alongside
WebTen & switching to SIMS helped out for me
too - if you're running
something else alongside WebTen, that may also
be a source of slowdown.
As I mentioned in my earlier email regarding
speed, faster hard
drives make a BIG difference on WebTen (as they
do with all other UNIX
systems), which I expect is something to do with
the UNIX use of 'swap'
space on the drives.
Lastly, although some people have advised
against it, I disabled
the usual culprits in the extension folder, as well
as Quicktime. Quicktime
made my server crash a few times (moreso
during my Webstar trials than with
WebTen), but it still happened under WebTen with
reasonable regularity. I
still don't understand why people advised against
disabling Quicktime - in
a server environment (unless you're doing
Quicktime streaming server or
some other app needs it), you plain don't need it. I
never enabled
Quicktime under OS 9.1 when I installed it, so I
don't know if that issue
remains on my machine with Quicktime under
9.1, or even if anyone else ever
had the problem.
I hope this info is helpful.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
