Photo Gallery Forums

Hi,

our current gallery is situated here clipfotos [dot] com, but is crashing because it can't handle 15k of photos and something like 40 folders.

we would like to change to imagevue, but the big question is : can it handle those numbers ?

Normally at the end of the summer, we will achieve a total of 25k photos.

the gallery runs on a dedicated quadcore with 8gb of ram, RAID-5.

Thanks,
Pj

the only point where i can give you my argument regarding your need, is that imagevue is not database centrist as usual php apps...

all is managed on a per folder point of view, so you can virtually have infinite folder and fotos, the only thing that will grow is the per folder xml file that is created, modified oc when you change infos (not considerating the storage and sysadmin tasks).

anyway of course in a sysadmin point of view, depending on the OS you have installed you can have [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... ems#Limits]filesystem limits[/url].

Well I dont see why it won't be able to handle, but there are some things that should be considered:

• * It's file based so fast server with fast disk subsystem is very welcomed, but I guess you already having it.

• * It can handle any amount of images but I think it's better to not overload folders with images. I mean don't put all 15000 in single folder.

• * I think we can test it on your site against your image library if you'll prepare your content tree - create folder structure with files.

Also we're planning some gallery-wide caching improvements for next major release which will make it even faster.
