Hi, I don't follow OG development but as host operator a few things are coming up. The machine's load is gradually climbing over time and some of that is OG. Despite a relatively low hit rate on OG it is consuming quite a bit of resource. If OG started taking off it would take the machine down. First up: index.cgi requires 0.35s to perform a `perl -c` syntax check. Any thoughts on putting OG on a mod_perl server? I have mod_perl running here of course and we'd need to coordinate some apache.conf stuff. Second: the supersearch.cgi gulps down CPU, often for seconds at a time. It is a frequent resident of `top` output. This isn't really acceptable. I'm going to request this feature be turned off unless an effective optimisation plan or some other way to reduce its impact here is constructed pretty soon. Sorry about this but it's encroaching on others. Third: I wonder if there's some way to instruct robots not to spider parts of your wiki. This ought to speak for itself: $ grep crawl /var/log/apache/london.openguides.org-access.log | grep 'action=edit' | wc -l 8242 $ Finally: I posted about a DoS and was wondering what the status of a solution was. http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2004-October/000542.html Cheers, Paul (any overbearing tone unintentional ;-) -- Paul Makepeace .............................. http://paulm.com/inchoate/ "If my elbow was straight, then I'll show oyu mine!" -- http://paulm.com/toys/surrealism/

by maximilian attems

hello, thanks Kake and IvorW for your input on this subject. i would like to push that item to be included in the next openguide release if possible? at vienna.openguides.org we are bad bitten by that bug. see http://vienna.openguides.org/vienna.cgi?B%C3%B6hmischer_Prater which was added recently but existed before already: http://vienna.openguides.org/vienna.cgi?B%F6hmischer_Prater the normalisation that IvorW spoke about would be wonderfull. feel free to do any test edits you need at aboves place. also if there is any patch i'd be happy to teste one out. i'll hope that can be resolved, so that we can further push the existence of vienna.openguides.org thanks for your help. :-) -- maks

[OpenGuides-Dev] Charity Shops in London Openguides

by Alex McLintock

I've just done a search on charity shops hoping to find some near me but I couldn't find any in the london openguide. Was there a deliberate decision to exclude them or is it simply that no one cares enough to have written anything about them? Cheers Alex
