Servers Setup

Ok, i'm working on setting up a second server with a load balancer and a file/attachment storage server.

I've moved all of vbulletins attachments that will be shared between the two servers to the file attachment server. However, it has been brought to my attention that the vbseo_sitemap/data/ has data written to it frequently. Should this also be moved to the attachment server, or is it ok that it sits on one web server?

We have vbseo directory on both webservers but the content between them is NOT shared. Is there any reason for the data directory to be on a shared fileserver (NFS) or is this ok?

Thank you.

It will need to be on both. /data is where the sitemap .xml.gz 's are located and will be accessed via google.

if you can somehow make a rule on server A (which has the data file) to point to server B via re-write

I'm not sure of the exact logistics of it though.

Ideally, this should exist on your static/attachment server, as that's basically what it is.

Some simple coding can get this done...

could be as simple as changing vbseo_getsitemap.php with

find:

Code:

if(file_exists(VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER . $smap))

replace with

Code:

define(VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER, "\\192.168.1.2\data\")
if(file_exists(VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER . $smap))

or something to that effect to point to the attachment server directly in the generation file itself.

Ok thanks. That is what I was wondering.
