The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Christian Dahlhausen <address@concealed>]

Mmh thats sounds tempting. I guess I will try the 5.4.7 update first and see if it is good enough. But in any case I would be interested in the patch. 
Did you have a lot of trouble upgrading from 5.3.4 to 6.0.1?
Thanks

Hi,

We run sympa with approximately the same amount of lists. The problem is that any time sympa needs a list of the lists, it walks the filesystem to get this list.

We ran 5.3.4 and are currently running 6.0.1 with a patch which caches the list names and some list configuration info in a mysql table. The searches on the mysql table are obviously a lot faster than traversing the filesystem.

Let me know if you'd like a copy of our patch!

Hi,

we run a Sympa 5.3.4 on an Ubuntu 8.04 with approx 16,000 mailing lists. The web interface is very sluggish and it takes a long time to do operations (search for lists for example) on the web interface. We looked at the apache configuration but everything seems to be fine, or at least as it should be. I noticed that if I switch between mailing lists and instead of using the search function, just change the listname in the browser address bar I get the list site a lot quicker. I have looked in older messages of this list and couldn't find much to improve the slowness.
I already followed the tips on the Sympa website for performance tweaks. We use the binary list config versions.

We store list archives on a nfs share and list configurations (expl) on the local disk. We kept the file locking to the default, flock. Would it make a big difference to move the expl directory also on the nfs share and user nfslock? Or, just switching to NFSlock and keep the expl directory local?

Thanks,
