Re: WebTen speed improvement on my machine

How did you deal with the Nimda problems? Which cache did you disable? What other things have have you done to improve the performance of your WT server? I am running WT on a B&W and keep getting hammered by Nimda infected servers which are causing my server to crash repeatedly. It's been running fine up until now, but with all the people running MS IIS and getting infected with Nimda and Code Red, the rest of us are having to deal with it.

TIA

Hi again,
        Just thought I'd post this for those who are using older machines &
WebTen. I have a 7300/200 with 128MB RAM & Mac OS 9.1 which currently has
an old 2GB Seagate 5400rpm drive running WebTen 3.0.3 - it's reasonably
fast, but no big speed demon compared to an iMac or above. It's been quite
stable except for the recent Nimda / stalling problems which for me were
fixed by switching the cache off which improved speed, response times etc...
        I also have a 7600/200 with the same specs (i.e. Mac OS 9.1, 128MB
etc...) but I fitted a Seagate Cheetah 10,000 rpm drive in preparation for
setting up Yellow Dog Linux. I partitioned the drive so as to install a Mac
OS partition, did a fresh install of Mac OS 9.1 & then installed WebTen
3.0.4 & did the Tenon 9.1 update.
        Bearing in mind that the only real difference between the 2
machines (apart from the model numbers) is the faster hard drive on the
7600, but the speed difference in WebTen is quite apparent even with basic
activities such as startup & response, loading up Webmail - running perl
scripts & PHP. I'm really surprised by how much faster it is.
        For info on the drive, it's a 68 pin interface which I had to get
an adapter from the 50pin Mac SCSI interface to adapt & will have to cut a
slot (about half an inch) in the Mac's internal case to shut the case
properly as the adapter is a little too long for the drive bay.
        Hope this is of use to anyone who wants to speed their older server up.


    Bye for now, Terry Allen
