I am part of a new company that is moving a lot of message boards to a centralized network and the volume is very high. Right now the network does approximately 10,000,000 daily page views and has reached 24,000,000 page views in a day before. They are very interested in WWWThreads since it has a threaded and linear view ability. My question is what is the best way to set this up and can WWWThreads handle this? Does anyone have an example board that they can show me that does 1,000,000 page views a day or more? I've seen some of the large boards like Sony music that have a lot of posts but storage capacity isn't the concern, daily load is.

Obviously we can set up individual instances of the board for each site if possible but would like to know if there are any sites out there that individually do over 1,000,000 page views a day without problems. Anyone have any feedback? Thanks in advance!

You might want to take a look at stratics.com. I'm not sure of their pageview stats but they are probably the largest site running WWWThreads under a heavy load. I believe they have a 2 server system, one running mysql and one running the webserver to support it. Last time I looked they were averaging 400-500+ users online at the same time.

Well if you have money to setup some oracle servers cluster running db and some cluster front end web servers maybe it could do it but php version does not support other than mysql i think so you would have to go with apache, mod_perl and perl version to use oracle as clustered database solution.

MySQL would most likely be sufficient to run a forum of this size. Slashdot.org gets huge numbers of hits a day and they are using mysql as their db.
