FlexiChat.NET site goes IPv6
Submitted by Lulu on Thu, 18 Aug 2011 - 03:08We're missed the World IPv6 Day, but since there is no more IPv4 space is left at IANA sooner or later IPv6 will get to use.
According to statistics at ipv6-test.com (btw, check if you have IPv6 and what is preffered when site is available as both v4 and v6!) there are some countries where more than 30% have IPv6 available (though active use according to older Google research is about 1%), so let us not be outsiders, i have enabled IPv6 access for site, for either http://flexichat.net and IPv6-only http://ipv6.flexichat.net

PHP Accelerators: Why? Which?
Submitted by Lulu on Wed, 26 Jan 2011 - 08:24You can be curious what is an PHP accelerator and why it does speed up the execution of PHP scripts and how it does it ?

Tips on building a highload webserver
Submitted by Lulu on Sun, 09 Jan 2011 - 12:58Of course there can be other ways and other software to build webservers , but the most popular in the free world is the xAMP platform (LAMP , sometimes WAMP et cetera.) where the first letter stands for operating system 'L'inux (x means any, because due to openness the suite runs on FreeBSD, Solaris and even Windows), 'A'pache (the de-facto world most popular web server), 'M'ySQL (there are other alternatives, notably PostgreSQL, but the MySQL and equivalents such as MariaDB is still on the peak), 'P'HP (of course there are alternatives too, but its extremely popular), so the Apache is server, PHP is script language and MySQL or MariaDB is a database backend.
