If so we are current in devolopment of a simaliar site (although not news), we are using Perl scripts to build all the HTML pages (both Index's and Pages) during the evening (4am), it takes about 8 secs to build 2500 pages and the Perl scripts could be a lot more efficiant, we are using PHP todo all the admin and stat areas of the site. Static HTML pages not only increase the speed but they also improve SEO (Search Engine Optimasion) if handled correctly. Don't know if this will help you but maybe it is a an idea. Also i'm sorry if this answer takes this a little off topic. regards Mark Cubitt > -----Original Message----- > From: electroteque [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 24 February 2003 11:13 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] creating flat versions of php pages > > > i dont understand what you mean , anyway, this is a short term > situation as > the site is pretty slow and cpu intensive, the setup is a sun solaris box > running apache 1.3 and php3 , just had a meeting today to push > through apahe > 2 and php 4.3 ut wont happen for a while , we need a solution in the next > month, we basically need a system that will trawl the site or the latest > news and flatten them so they are less taxing on the server as > our last time > cost us dearly , 170,000 hits in one day ! > so would flattening to html solve our problem or is the server > going to get > hammered anyway ? > > "Gonzo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > hi guys we have 2 very high traffic sites and we need > > > to be able to make these pages load faster , we are > > > coming up with a solution to make flat file versions of > > > the sites in the short term before we start using > > > caching technologhies is this the right way to go about > > > this ? > > > > I think anyone trying to answer this would need to know > > more about your setup.
