Hi Dan

I have a database independant server which currently supports Oracle
and Informix and soon MySql. It works on a row by row basis and so
emulates record access. This means the web developers don't need to
know SQL as all access is via PHP objects.

out of curiosity, what database are you using?

Hello

I have recently ported my fastcgi application to AIX 4.2

Everything compiled OK and the applications run. However,
when I connect
over the LAN to the AIX machine with a request the performance is
terrible. The machine itself is fine. It is a production
machine with 40
users and performance is excellent. Apache responds well but
the fastcgi
requests from the client take a very long time , seconds
for each one.
The same application running on linux is near instantaneous.

The system is multi-tier. Client connects to (linux server running
apache and PHP). PHP makes fastcgi requests to AIX machine to
retrieve
data from the database and pass back. Typical size of request
data block
is 100-800 bytes and similar for response. A typical page
load will make
60-70 requests for data. With a linux database server this is
done sub
second. With AIX database server this takes 15 seconds!! The LAN is
100MB/s. I suspect it has to be something to do with the socket
connection between the PHP server and the AIX server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
