Hello, I am currently doing research on scaling one of the sites I made using Django. I have looked at Chapter 21 of the in-progress Django Book. I plan to follow the track recommending 3 django servers behind perlbal + 1 dedicated media server + 1 dedicated database server.
The current setup for the site I am working on uses a single machine for the whole site. I have Apache + mod_python on one IP address serving Django requests. For media, I have lighttpd running on another IP address on the same machine. Postgresql is also running on the same machine. This site allows users to upload pictures. Those uploaded pictures are then served by lighttpd. While this works quite well in our single machine setup I am dumbfounded as to how to handle file/image uploads when we finally move to a load-balanced setup with a dedicated media server. The only thing I can think of right now is to share a directory on the dedicated media server and have each server in the Django cluster mount that share either through NFS or Samba. But I don't think it's a good idea to do it this way. Does anyone know how else this can be done? Thanks in advance. -- _nimrod_a_abing_ http://www.preownedcar.com/ http://abing.gotdns.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
