Empressa 5.xx Installation Tips

[sebenza]

Hi Folks-
Do any of you host have any tips for installing Empressa 5.xx? For example, I am specifically looking for any tips to increase speed when using MySQL.

I have a client with a 5.03 installation. They have the Miva binary and associated files installed to their virtual host cgi-bin. Are there any performance issues with this? Is there an optimal installation method?

The client seems to be experiencing some lag, random at times, and this is a development server with no traffic.

Thanks.

That's about all there is to it, Empresa will normally run or not run. Is the MySQL server running as localhost or is it connecting across a network? If connecting across a network, there are a number of things that should be done, such as putting the name of the mysql server, as Empresa knows it, in the hosts file on the server so it doesn't have to do a dns lookup for each connection, then the mysql server should be optimized to also not do dns lookups on incoming connections and a few other tweaks that can be made to minimize connection overhead.

I figured my Empressa install was solid, but thought I would ask for any other tips anyway. I emailed you off list as well.
