Rackpace.com Cloud Server – CentOS 5.5 64bit install and setup
Rackspace Cloud server – CentOS 5.5 64bit installation notes
1). Need a bear minimum install of the following for my bash shell scripts to run properly – particularly needed disctcache otherwise mod_ssl wouldn’t install properly
wget http://cdnetworks-us-1.dl.sourceforge.net/project/sysbench/sysbench/0.4.12/sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz tar xvzf sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz cd sysbench-0.4.12 libtoolize --force --copy ./autogen.sh ./configure make && make install |
gcc: /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [sysbench] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sysbench-0.4.12/sysbench' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sysbench-0.4.12/sysbench' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 |
2). Quite a few dependencies needed for Apache 2.2.17 installation
ln -s /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so |
sysbench --test=fileio --max-time=60 --max-requests=10000 --file-num=1 --file-extra-flags=direct --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-total-size=128M prepare |
3). Apache 2.2.17 wouldn’t start up initially and iptables on Rackspace Cloud server blocked port 80.
sysbench --test=fileio --max-time=60 --max-requests=10000 --file-num=1 --file-extra-flags=direct --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-total-size=128M --num-threads=1 --file-test-mode=rndrd run sysbench --test=fileio --max-time=60 --max-requests=10000 --file-num=1 --file-extra-flags=direct --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-total-size=128M --num-threads=1 --file-test-mode=rndwr run |

Then allow port 80
yum -y install gcc automake autoconf libtool make libXext-devel unzip distcache slocate |
Looking forward to testing Varnish cache vs Litespeed cache over various cloud server hosting platforms.
