Overview
| Server | x86-based machine running Red Hat Fedora Core 5 Linux |
|---|---|
| Location | UK, in a datacentre |
| Administration | Privately-rented-and-administered server of FlashGordon. |
| IP address | 88.208.220.85 |
| Web-serving software | Apache with documented configuration, integrated with PHP - configuration undocumented, version appears at Special:Version and PHP Information |
| Database server | MySQL - configuration undocumented, version appears at Special:Version |
| Wiki software | MediaWiki with documented extensions and configuration |
| Domain name | clc-wiki.net is registered with Aplus.Net by Netocrat; it expires in 2009. Aplus.Net are also providing DNS through a control panel accessible only to the registrant: means of providing shared access are being investigated - probably this will involve shifting DNS to an alternate provider (and leaving registration as-is). A fully democratic solution for both domain-name registration and DNS access and re-pointing would be ideal - as yet a provider able or willing to support this has not been found (and clc-wiki's democratic organisation hasn't been sorted out yet either) |
Caching
MediaWiki supports several types of caching and clc-wiki makes use of many of them; in addition clc-wiki makes use of PHP-code caching to reduce the time required to interpret each request. The following pieces of software are installed to support this strategy:
- memcached; version [undocumented]
- eAccelerator; version [undocumented]
