 | View Full Version : Anyone use Tux on their dedicated servers? SONICdomains 02-20-2002, 04:25 PM Anyone here ever use Tux Server on their dedicated servers? Is it compatible with Plesk or Ensim installations? What's the verdict? Faster or slower than Apache? Thanks! Anatole 02-20-2002, 04:34 PM Tux is ideal for static content, where it is faster than apache. For example: banner exchange services often use Tux to serve banners at maximum speed. Apache is ideal for webhosting :) JayOCHOSTING 02-20-2002, 11:47 PM Hello! Can you explain what "tux" is? roly 02-21-2002, 01:44 AM I thought Tux was the Linux Penguin WALoeIII 02-21-2002, 01:46 AM Tux is a webserver, it is the software that actually deals out the pages. Like Apache, IIS or iPlanet and the aplication servers. priyadi 02-21-2002, 05:38 AM Tux is a kernel space web server, unlike Apache that runs in user space. Since it is running in the kernel, it is much faster, but also less flexible than user space web server. Usually, Tux is being used alongside Apache. Tux for serving static content, and Apache for dynamic content. uninet 03-12-2004, 06:56 PM Is there a way to setup Tux to run for static content and have Apache handle dynamic content (or perhaps have Tux cache Apache or some such?)? Thanks, Tim rebuke 03-12-2004, 07:43 PM I've never used tux but presumably you could just set it up to run on a different port so for example you would have apache accessible as http://your.server.address/ and tux as http://your.server.address:81/ Then all you would need to do is make sure you specifically point to the different url when referencing static content on your site |
