[opencms-dev] Queue time is getting longer

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Lo,

great, now you need 1 second!

Read more how this export handler exports files to the harddrive: http://opencms-wiki.org/Static_Export_On_Demand

Some words by me: You have to wrap all links to exportable resources in <cms:link>link</cms:link> tags. Files go to

<tomcat>/webapps/<webappname>/export/...

Now I fear you have a setup where your web-server is on a different machine. That will not work very good. The webservers doc root should 
always have the doc root of <tomcat>/webapps/<webappname>/
because <cms:link> creates links to the export subfolder and only if those files are requested apache webserver will request their export 
from tomcat.

See this: http://opencms-wiki.org/MultiSite_configuration_instructions_%28apache_%2B_mod_jk%29

Especially take a close look at the section "Defining the virtual hosts" where "magic" rules are used to trigger static export on demand 
requests to the tomcat.

If you cannot have the webserver and appserver on one machine (believe me, that is faster than on two machines) then you had to set up some 
rsync cronjob  (rsync -auv root at oherserver:/opt/tomcat/webapps/opencms/export/) on the webserver machine. But that is bad style.

good luck,

Achim
