60 Blogs = 60 WP Installs?

[LFCII]

Dear MP,

I am assuming you used WP. Does this mean you had 60 installs of WP?

If so, I would think that would be a bitch to keep the scripts updated. I am also reading that WP is a resource hog. I would think having that many WP scripts would really kick the crap out of a server.

Yes / No ?

Maybe Mr. Omnipresent and other multiple blogsters could give thier two cents on this also?

It would be nice to get some real world feedback.

Kind Regards,

Les

I've never known WP to be a resource hog really, but then again I've never had 60 installs on one server either

[SirMoby]

Maybe he's smart and used 1 copy of Blogs Organizer. I have about 25 blogs and only 1 installed script.

What is this Blogs Organizer you speak of?

As far as server load we use Mojo Host, so that's not an issue

Resource hog? I have nearly 100 installs of it on one server without any issues.

Did you use WPMU? I tried it, didn't like it, so now do individual installs.

The worst thing is updated on 2 servers ... I'm waiting for WP 2.6 now so I can update everything

If you don't optimize MySQL it can be an issue.

As I am getting into blogging I am not sure I want to have 10's if not hundreds of installs of wordpress. Looking into Movable Type again. Also for thos interested here is a fork of Wordpress MU, http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/

We've been using blogs organizer for our hosted blogs for quite some time now, it really is a great script!!

As far as server load we use Mojo Host, so that's not an issue

We host at Mojo as well, but I would never put that many WP installs on one server, Wordpress is extremely poorly written and a giant database hog and can cause your entire blog network to crash and burn if an insert goes horribly wrong.

Make daily backups!

Hmmm.... I see MM keeps you in the loop. You sell it in the MP store


Thanks for the input from everyone. I use BO and have never used WP because of posts on boards about how it dies with a lot of traffic. It is the 800 pound gorilla of blog software, so it must be working for most people.

I had 2 blogs on one server and WP was able to bring it to its knees on a high traffic day. Something to consider.

The Mojo guys watch whats going on if we have an issue I'm sure they will split it off it needed.

WP is more of a resource hog then most people realize but like baddog said you can do some DB tweeking and I know there're some other tweeks you can do to it to make it less of a hog

[Jace]

wordpress is a resource hog on servers that aren't optimized properly

I have my box at natnet and it is running at LEAST 200 blogs, 50+ with considerable traffic, and my server NEVER has load issues or any resource problems

You can buy it with Pimp $ It's made by a very talented programmer that goes by the name Kaktusan. He's been making adult scripts for years now and has a reputation for doing great work.

If you want I'll give you some Pimp points to buy the script

I 'll get MM to get me a copy and try it out for sure.

I been looking at Movable Type the open source edition at www.movabletype.org. This looks like a much better solution for multiple blogs. It supports multiple blogs from one install, plugins are global, templates are global, spam fighting built in. check it.

wish it ran wordpress blogs

I've never known WP to be a resource hog really ....

Oh man! You're joking right?

Depending on amount of traffic, Wordpress can bring your server to a crawl!


This is HANDS DOWN the best WP cache plugin ... we have tried almost every one online, and this is the ONLY one that truly impressed me!

WP Super Cache

They do, WP is the most popular. Im really thinking the multiblog deficiencies is gonna make me go elsewhere.....I don't wanna manage 60 installs of WP

Hopefully, this link will be ok to post on how to convert WP themes to BO.

Cross posting is fine here Thanks man.

[mimi]

definitely try WPMU or BO...

[dimitar]

Use WPMU it's really nice piece of software

[manca]

Wordpress MU is what i use for multi installs of WP on the same server. With some tweaks it can work like a charm!
