Moving from standard Apache httpd install to virtual hosts

  1. First you need to create an appropiate directory for virtual host. (Using the example of creating an intranet)

$ su –
$ useradd intranet
$ chmod 755 /home/intranet # needed for apache nobody process
$ cd /home/intranet
$ mkdir www logs
$ cd www
$ echo “

intranet test index ” > index.htm
  1. Second, you need to reconfig Apache Httpd for virtual host management.

$ cd /opt/httpd/conf
echo “Include conf/httpd.include” » httpd.conf
$ vi httpd.include

NameVirtualHost 111.111.111.111
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site.com.au
    DocumentRoot /home/intranet/www
    ServerName intranet.site.com.au
    ServerAlias intranet
    LogLevel info
    ErrorLog /home/intranet/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /home/intranet/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
  1. Reboot Apache Httpd

$ apachectl graceful

How long does it take the ReadySet cache to warm up?

During my setup of benchmarking I run a quick test-sysbench script to ensure my configuration is right before running an hour+ duration test. When pointing to a Readyset cache where I have cached the 5 queries used in the sysbench test, but I have not run any execution of the SQL, throughput went up 10x in 5 seconds.
