[nflug] Server Specs - Need Some Comments

[Mark Musone]

For this need, at the very least, you want 2 servers, one database and one
web server. for the DB server, 4G memory, dual xeon cpu. you say you will be
using php for searching..what do you mean by that? do you mean php issuing a
search query to the db, or php actually doing manual searching (the latter
would be very bad)

..thats my quick $.02 off the top of my head..

Subject: [nflug] Server Specs - Need Some Comments

I am working on a new contract and one priority is to set up a LAMP
server. I have set up many before however this one will have 500,000
records that are searchable in the MySQL database. Since I have never
worked with this much data I was wondering if the LUG can give me some
specs for the server. PHP4 will be used for searching unless the
performance is horrible, but I will deal with that when I begin
testing. What I was thinking for hardware is
1) SCSI drives
2) 2GB of ram (maybe more maybe less??)
3) 2 processors (Xeon, is 1 good enough?)

As you can see I only have a vague idea. Thanks in advance guys!
