Multithreading option?

APG

I've just changed of physical server (via FTP + PHPMyAdmin) and configured Apache 2 to be multithreaded (ie: installed MPM Worker instead of MPM Prefork) but noticed that Sendy is still not multithreaded (surprisingly, Sendy uses the process "php" instead of "php5-cgi" as does wordpress on the same server, I do not know why).

When I look at the source code, I can see that there are 2 switches: "$Multithread = false;". Is it enough to change these to "true" to have multithreaded activated?
Thanks

Hi @APG,

Sendy uses curl_multi_* family of functions for multithreading. This is such that anyone can use Sendy without having to configure Apache to be multithreaded or do anything else.

Thanks.

Thanks, it is an important point.

But then, why "$Multithread = false;"? Should I change it to true? Would it change something? (my sending speed is at 1 email/sec, even after an upgrade of server...)

Ben

$Multithread = false; is the default state. This variable is set to true when you send out your campaign and curl_multi_* will be used.

APG

Ok, so my hypothesis about the speed (1 email/sec) was completely wrong.

Thanks again for your very quick answers, I'll see on monday morning if my upgrade of Apache changes something.

APG

Well, not so bad: I've returned to the speed I had a few weeks ago (2 emails/sec), but I imagine it's because this mail had less URLs to be transformed. Rem: I still have one process PHP (instead of PHP5-CGI) running at 15-27% during sending.

So I'm going to check if curl works correctly on my server and then make a fresh new install with the new version.

APG

I could not install the new version: I guess your security ("Domain will now be checked right before the installation page is loaded when visiting the installation page") worked: the install page sent me directly to the root of the server.

So I upgraded the current installation and it worked as transparently as possible: impressive! Thanks and congratulations!

Great, thanks!
