Re: Apache Startup Time

Or you can use the mysql dispatch, and remove any MP3 or MP3Playlist 
directives from the list of apache directives.

I say to some folks that they can just use the mysql dispatch feature, 
and allow mod_mp3 to populate the mysql database of your mp3 collection 
just once. Then, shutdown Apache, and remove the MP3, or MP3 playlist 
directives (mentioned above) so that when apache starts it doens't look 
for any new mp3 files.

That way is very fast, but you have to manage your mp3 databse yourself. 
Adding new rows for files as they are added to your collection, or 
modifing existing rows when files change location.

Alternativly, you can keep yoru MP3, or MP3Playlist directives, and 
mod_mp3 will remember what you had the last time, and looking for new 
files is faster that way.

Eithr way, its much faster to use the database dispatch features. What 
you are having now is Apache having to assume that each tiem it starts 
up that it has a whole new collection of music to catalog.
