[consulting] Drupal server requirements

[Khalid B]

Hi Lists.

John is a long time member and contributor, and I am sure that his comments
were not directed at anyone in particular. He has a very high traffic Drupal
site and had to struggle to get the scalability he needs, and this is why
he concluded that MyISAM is a bottleneck.

You have to change the database/database.mysql file to remove all

) TYPE=MyISAM;

and replace it with

) TYPE=InnoDB;

Then create the tables.
