Varnish HTTP accellerator and Cpanel

[NickJ]

Dear James,

Indeed, the information you have shared is very helpful but a small correction in "sub vcl_recv" section which baffled me for sometime as I am not sure about how to record the startup logs for varnish

sub vcl_recv {
if (server.ip ~ a192_168_100_10) {
set req.backend = b192.168.100.10;
}
if (server.ip ~ a192_168_100_11) {
set req.backend = b192_168_100_11;
}
}

It should be something like this.

sub vcl_recv {
if (server.ip ~ a192_168_100_10) {
set req.backend = b192_168_100_10;
}
if (server.ip ~ a192_168_100_11) {
set req.backend = b192_168_100_11;
}
}

Thank you once again for sharing the information

Thanks James/EmptyMind for the guide, been playing with varnish on a non-whm server and like it, but good to know how to do this on whm/cpanel server.

Hi,

I just thought I'd let you all know that we (UNIXy) have released a cPanel Varnish add-on / plugin. Please read this page for more details: cPanel Varnish Script Plugin

Cheers!

That sounds interesting, Joe, and I can't wait to try it out. Been waiting quite a few hours for my order to be processed...

cPanel has a new area for Applications that you might have an interest in:
Application Catalog

I'd be interested in this plugin, but we already have our dedicated server needs taken care of. Is the plugin available separately?

Not only does mysql+apache use RAM but they also use a lot of CPU. Varnish barely uses any CPU. So installing Varnish (and giving it RAM) will definitely reduce the load. Memory is only as good as used.

I'll be happy to enable your trial. Would you please post your order# here? FYI, so far all trials have been invitational to control release and fixes.

Hi Mark,

We're making this plugin available to anyone with a cPanel sever (with or without UNIXY).

I forget to mention. We've added an interesting feature where you can have an opt-out list of domains/subdomains that Varnish will skip. The connection and traffic to those domains would be sent right back to Apache without any extra processing. This is part of release 1.1b which is scheduled for release tomorrow (current is 1.0b).
