I thought this place was too good to be an amateur operation. Props on a first class job.   Logged     When Al Quada hits us again, just remember; DHS was busy watching me.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #497081 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

I guess you do know what I meant by one set of problems with Drupal trading for Joomla. Just like any CMS... they all have their own warts. You (the royal you) use a CDN to keep content closer to people, or did you serve everything from your site? You probably also "minify'd" everything? Any kind of a reverse proxy setup for serving static content? Of course you load balanced everything? Any kind of a Web Application Firewall, if so which one did you use? ALL CMSs have warts, that is so true. Unfortunately I can't talk a lot about the specifics of the setup for security reasons. But we ran everything through Akamai's CDN (as proxy) to offload the static stuff and move it real close to the users. Two of the biggest servers I have ever managed (CPU count wise) were sitting behind it serving up the content, and one more the same size was behind them handling MySQL. I was surprised how much traffic we could hand out with this rather small setup. But we highly optimized the code and the database. All these servers were just idling all the time until Game day came along. All CSS and JS were minified, and aggregated into singular files. So something on the order of a dozen css files, minified into a single file. Same with the Javascript. I have never had to use web firewalls. I bastionize the crap out of the servers so the only available ports talking to the public internet are the ones I want to be communicating. A firewall would not have improved this, only added more server load. I always watch my logs and look for new attack patterns. When I can identify one I build a solution into the web server's configuration (which then gets carried to all my other servers). Used several layers of caching. Gram Cool. A Web Application Firewall is not a traditional firewall in the "firewall" sense. Its more of that has a set of rules and block "specifically crafted" requests to websites. 0-Day exploits for webservers and PHP programs and other types of things... We use "mod_security2" (http://www.modsecurity.org/) and "got root" Web Application rules for our scanning Web Application Firewall.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #497107 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that.

So will check into it. Thanks!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
