Joomla! Discussion Forums

Was wondering what the largest site is that somone has used Joomla for.  Would like to know what others opinions are on how robost it is ..given it's installed on a well configured server and running on Linux vs. Windows.

Thanks for any input any out there could provide that have operated a Joomla site before..

Thanks

Well, one of the largest is Joomla.org - around 500 Alexa rank

one of mine (bagsofcrap.com) can reach as high as 10,000 Alexa rank (around 150 req/sec) durring certain sales events (I see around 85,000 visitors, over 4 million page views, and somwhere around 50 million requests in 48 hours)...  All on a single VPS with 1.5 gig Ram... (those numbers are bandwidth limited)...

Not bad at all.. Is this linux or windows based platform.

Redhat enterprise 4 (RHEL4 AS).  Running Lighttpd, php5 (FastCGI), MySQL 4.1... 

My new server (hopefully online by the end of this week) will be running CentOS 5 (same as RHEL5), lighttpd, php5, MySQL 5, etc...

ircmaxell has become my new joomla idol. those numbers are awesome, and his articles are second to none.

That is great!

But when I when to see it for my self, I received a "Time Out" error - oops!

What is the server's config.?

Where do we learn about how to optimize a Joomla install in terms of"
OS version
CPUs
RAM
Disk

What are the 3 biggest factors in a Joomla's configuration? Both in Joomla, mySQL, Hardware?

Thanks a bunch.

Peace & Joy,
