The Olio/PHP kit is packaged as a gzipped tar file. The first task is to unzip the file and untar it to extract it's contents. Because -of the long pathnames, please use gtar to extract. This can be done -as follows:

# -gzcat olio-php-<version>.tar.gz | gtar xvf -

This will cause a directory named olio-php-<version> to -be created whose contents should look like:

# -ls olio-php-0.1*

Setting up the Driver

Even if you don't plan to drive load against the application, steps 1 and 2 are required as the database and file loaders are part of the workload driver â feel free to install the driver on the -same system as the web application.

See - http://faban.sunsource.net/docs/guide/harness/install.html - for Faban installation instructions. Note that faban needs to be - installed on all the machines used for the test. Please also read - the Getting Started Guide to get a high-level understanding - of Faban terminology and how it works. From now on, we will refer to - the faban install directory as $FABAN_HOME.
-

Copy $OLIO_HOME/OlioDriver.jar - to the $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks directory. Also copy the - OlioDriver.jar file to the $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks directory on the - web server system.
-
For the driver to work, you will need JDK 1.6. Set - JAVA_HOME to the path of the JDK in the faban user's environment.
-
Start the faban master on the master driver - machine :
-
$FABAN_HOME/master/bin/startup.sh
-
Test that you can connect to the master by - pointing your browser at http://<driver_machine>:9980. -
-

Download - MySQL Connector/J (JDBC Driver for MySQL) and install the jar in - $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks/OlioDriver/lib.

Installing the Web -Application

The web application is a PHP application. It requires the -following components:

A web server such as Apache2 or - Lighttpd
-
PHP 5 with extensions: apc.so, - curl.so, gd.so, pdo_mysql.so
-

cp samples/services/MysqlService/build/MysqlService.jar +services
cp +samples/services/MemcachedService/build/MemcachedService.jar services
+

+
Copy $OLIO_HOME/OlioDriver.jar +to the $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks directory. Also copy the OlioDriver.jar +file to the $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks directory on the web server system.
+

All of these applications are included in OpenSolaris. If you're running on any other operating system, please install the above -applications.

Once you have the application stack installed, -follow the steps below to set up the application. -

Decide where you want to install the web application. The - default for apache is the htdocs sub-directory but a common location - is /var/www. Create a sub-directory oliophp where the php - application will reside and copy the contents of $OLIO_HOME/oliophp - to this directory. We will use $APP_DIR to refer to this location. - Ensure that all files in $APP_DIR are readable by the world.
-
Edit the httpd.conf used by your system's apache - installation. Set the Listen parameter to the hostname or ip - address and set the DocumentRoot to $APP_DIR/public_html. See - the httpd.conf file in $APP_DIR/etc for additional settings.
-
See the php.ini provided in - $APP_DIR/etc and copy the settings appropriately to the php.ini for - your installation.
-

Setting -up the database -

If you plan to run MySQL on a separate machine, install MySQL - on that system. We will refer to the MySQL installation directory as - MYSQL_HOME.
-
Setup the mysql user/group and permissions for it's - directories:
# groupadd mysql
# - useradd -d $MYSQL_HOME -g mysql -s /usr/bin/bash mysql
# - chown -R mysql:mysql $MYSQL_HOME
-
Create the database:
# su - mysql
$ - cd bin
$ ./mysql_install_db
-
A - sample MySQL configuration file (my.cnf) is included in the - $APP_DIR/etc. Please read the embedded comments and edit the file - appropriately after copying it to /etc. -

Start the mysql server using the my.cnf file. Substitute your - own password for pwd (we - typically use adminadmin)
$ ./mysqld_safe - âdefaults-file=/etc/my.cnf &
$ - ./mysqladmin -u root password pwd
-
Create the olio user and grant privileges:
$ - ./mysql -uroot -ppwd
mysql> - create user 'olio'@'%' identified by 'olio';
mysql> - grant all privileges on *.* to 'olio'@'%' identified by 'olio' with - grant option;

In some cases the wildcard '%' does not - work reliably as a substitution for all hosts. You need to grant the - privileges to 'olio'@'<hostname>' individually, where hostname - is localhost, the name of the database system and any other name - that's used to access the database system. -
-
Create database
mysql> - create database olio;
mysql> use - olio; -
-

To create the database schema, you first need to copy the - schema script from the driver system. It is located in - $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks/OlioDriver/bin/schema.sql. Copy the script - anywhere on the database server and create the schema:
-

$ mysql -uroot --ppwd

Loading the Database

It is best to load the database manually the first time so that we can test the web application. However, while doing performance tests, the load driver can be configured to automatically -re-load the database before the run.

Login to the machine running the Faban master - driver. Only this machine has the loader at this time.
-
Go to the directory - containing the loader script:
# - cd $FABAN_HOME/benchmarks/OlioDriver/bin
-

Ensure the script has execute - permissions. Faban takes care of this for the runs, but since we - have not yet started the first run, we will need to change that - ourselves:
# chmod +x dbloader.sh
-

Run the loader script:
# - ./dbloader.sh <dbserver> - <load_scale>
You can start small with a SCALE of - 50 for initial testing. -
-
Edit the $APP_DIR/etc/config.php - and set the database host name, replacing localhost in the - dbTarget entry.

$olioconfig['dbTarget'] -= 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=olio'; // PDO target.

Our initial testing with MogileFS found some severe performance issues, so for now we advice using a local filesystem or network file system such as NFS. You will @@ -283,231 +383,261 @@ spindles to avoid such bottlenecks. A local file system needs to be setup on the same machine as the web application. A network file system can reside on a separate server but needs to be exported and -mounted on the system running the web application.

Create a directory (or mount a filesystem) - designated for storing the image and binary files. This directory is - referred to as $FILESTORE. Any valid name for the OS should be fine. - Ensure that everyone has read and write access to it:
# - mkdir -p $FILESTORE

Enter the name of your driver(s) - machine for Host (when using more than one machine, simply separate - them by a space). -
-
Enter 10 for 'Concurrent Users' (we - want to start small).
-
Enter 'vmstat 10' for Tools. This - indicates the measurement tools that will be run on the driver - machine. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the driver cpu - utilization.
-
Now enter 30, 30, 30 for the Ramp up, - Steady State and Ramp down times. This is a very short test run. For - normal runs, you may need a ramp up of 200 seconds and a steady - state of at least 600 seconds during which measurements are made.
-
For current systems, the time between - client startup of 200 milliseconds is good enough. Some web servers - or slower systems may not be able to accept connections very - frequently. In that case we may want to increase this value to 1000 - milliseconds.

Select the Web Server tab.

The number of -Agents is best the same or multiple the number of driver machines â -we start with 1. -

Shutdown apache and kill memcached. +Memcached is always started by the driver before the run to ensure a +clean cache and will cause port conflicts if it is already running. The +apache server is also automatically started at the start of a run and +shutdown at the end of a run.

The Host:Port Pairs field takes the host port pairs where the web applications are -running. The host and port is separated by a colon. -

Each pair is -separated by space. -

For the Webserver -type field, enter either "apache" or "lighttpd" -depending on which web server you're using.

Leave the field blank if you're using servers other than these two. Only these two -servers are supported at this time. -

Enter the +servers are managed by faban.
+ For +any other servers, you must manually start/stop the servers.

Enter the webserver's bin, log, and config directories, and the directory -containing the php.ini file in the respective fields. -

Set the 'Load for +to reload the database before a run.

Set the 'Load for Concurrent Users' to 25 (this is the minimum number of users we can -load for and is good for up to 25 concurrent users). -

Set the Data Storage server. For local - storage this is the same host as the web server.
