Sorry for the html in the email, testing fckeditor wysiwyg + email
from phpgroupware :P
Anyhow:
I’m the resident web wookiee and writing an in-house app
for handling the processes here. There are a few options that I am
currently considering for ease of development and portability, one of
which is integrating with an existing CMS so I have all the neat-o
user management, calendar, contact management, and file management.
After looking through a few of the packages, I’ve decided on TikiWiki
and phpGroupWare… now, phpGW would be ideal because of the webcal
integration (TW is really difficult to read) but it pulls about
16-20% load whenever first logging in and switching modules. Main
thing I ask of the experienced devs is if offhand anyone could
provide a rough guesstimate of whether or not I should give phpGW a
shot:
Im not shure about this webcal integration you speak of. You can read
ical from it yeah, but depending on what you need, there is non to a
lot hacking to do on that part.
< style="font-style: italic;">
Database Server : Dual opteron > 244 w/ 4 gig ram RAID 5 - 320 (4 disk)
Intranet Web Server : 1.8 AMD / possibly 3GHz and maybe 1gb of memory
on it for measure
There will be at the very least 70 employees hammering
away at it, mostly adding date/time stamps to entries after initially
pulling the server time and calculating a time-offset locally. I
went looking for the official dev docs off of the website and most I
could come up with is the Hello World app, which is a good start, but
I am still left with a lot of questions.
--------------------------
Performance wise, youre nuts. This is huge iron, you will have no
problem if:
a) Use mmcache
b) Tune your db properly (i use postgres, it does scale better)
c) Use persistant db connections
d) Use a decent nix (late linux 2.4, late bsd)
<>--------------------
Oh, and in addition, I gather the db for phpGW is already
optimized and indexed, or is that another tweak I can apply myself?
--------------
You can still tweak it some by thinking about your usage patterns.
Double checking the preferences, config and session tables is
generaly a good idea.
Thanks in advance,
Steven A.
