And now a 500 database error too!
- fulafel 6y agoWonder what database they are using.
- whalesalad 6y agoperiod correct? mysql 5.1
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoOh no it was Oracle before Oracle bought MySQL, so it's gotta be Oracle db.
- tragomaskhalos 6y agoIt's probably Postgres on an interim basis, until an army of finance dweebs have calculated the internal licensing cost of using Oracle :)
- throwaway4good 6y agoThere is an nginx in front of it. What was wrong with Apache?
- Spivak 6y agoApache feels like a forgotten gem in the ops world. Everyone moved onto Nginx and at some point will run into some use-case that needs a feature that's only in Nginx+. And since Nginx+ is so expensive people end up just patching the OSS Nginx with the modules they need. But that whole time Apache was there with every conceivable battery and feature already included.

- bschwindHN 6y agoExcept its configuration language is awful. Nginx is pretty bad too, and then there's Caddy which seems the most tolerable so far. Usability matters quite a lot!
- hollerith 6y agoIt is probably fairly easy to create a fork of Apache with a better configuration language. The fact that no such fork exist (or more precisely, the fact that you don't mention it, which is strong evidence that you know of no such fork) is evidence that most Apache users are OK with or roughly indifferent toward its conf language. (I know nothing of it.) I, too, believe that usability matters a lot, and I'm curious what you think of bash.
- btown 6y agoOr it could be evidence of Apache's configuration language being closely tied into its internal implementation in a spaghetti-code way! If there's one fundamental truth in open source, it's that maintaining things is hard, doubly so when it's a fork of a complex system that few people fully understand. The absence of a fork does not mean users are satisfied, simply that the people who might be motivated to fork have better alternatives for their time (for instance, learning Nginx).
- bschwindHN 6y ago> I'm curious what you think of bash. I'm not very fond of it, to put it lightly. You can get some things done quickly in it, I'll admit, but anything past a few hundred lines quickly becomes unmaintainable.
- winrid 6y agoThe "event loop" model in Nginx beat Apache performance wise.
