How to manage attachments on a 2nd server ?
Hello
We have a community on the video subject which could have the use of big files uploaded (for example high definition video samples) For attachments, we use a special directory instead of the database integration option. To preserve the bandwidth of the vbulletin/joomla server, I wish to redirect the this directory on another server with another domain name. How could it be possible ? Is there a code hack to make ? Thanks |

I have seen this being implimented on a forum with use of sub domains, so it is possible.

You don't remember which domain it was ?, maybe I could ask the webmaster how he made it... |

You'll need to edit your DNS zone settings for the subdomain to point to your attachment server

Is it to say that 1 - I have my domain (mydomain.com) on one physical server with 1 IP adress lets say in New York 2 - I have a subdomain (attach.mydomain.com) on another physical server let's say in Los Angeles 3 - It would then just be a matter of one file to edit on the first server ? Is it correct ? Thank you ! |

Let's say that I have my main server (the expensive one, on which are the vB and joomla databases) Allowed bandwidth about 2 Mbit/s (peak). I have also (in reality in the same town but not with the same provider) a very low cost one with a guaranteed bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s. If I intend to accept big files as attachments (videos) and don't want to pay twice the price of the main server, it appears like a possible solution....But if the slowing would be severe, then it could be bad also... ping from home to the main server : about 44 ns ping from home to the second server : about 42 ns What do you think ? Faisible ? |

Ping doesn't count much here, but having 100mbps guaranteed will cost you quite a bit of money (~2000$ for some premium bw, probably 1500$ for cheaper, lower quality bw).

for where I am (in Europe actually), we have that for less than 110€ (about 150$ or so) (I mean pro month)
And 100 megabits per second are guarantied. I'm aware of commercial offers being somekind different in the US. |
