I have a friend who runs it in FreeBSD and likes it. IMP is excellent. You do have to watch out for one thing that can slow down you SQL database: As IMP 2.2 uses PHPLib (http://phplib.netuse.de) for session management, state sessions can quickly mount up in the SQL database, causing some performance issues. There are two ways to go about it. Ones prevention, and the other's a cure. One would prevent this from happening by ensuring "Logout" was "clicked" every time a user finishes their session. This causes PHPLib to remove the session data from the SQL database. The cure is to write a bit of ([Pp]erl|[Pp]ython) to login and remove all the sessions (in the middle of the night, of course). That problem only really surfaces when you've got more than about 200 users accessing it regularly. I base my knowledge on experience with a system with ~1000 regular users. That's fairly small compared to some of the sites that IMP runs on :-) - andrew -- void signature () { cout << "Andrew Reid -- andrew.reid@plug.cx" << endl ; cout << "Cell: +61 401 946 813" << endl; cout << "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur" << endl; } To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
