Creating a very mini wordpress.com

    I am setting up a WP network for folks to create their own sites, somewhat similar to WP.com.

    I’m planning to use:

    – SharDB
    – MU Domain mapping
    – some of Andrea/Ron’s plugins (names I forget)
    – a VPS type setup (Linode, if that matters) running nginx with FastCGI and APC opcode cache
    – a node balancer managing 2 web servers initially, about 1.5 Gb RAM ea
    – a separate DB server, 2 GB RAM

    Anyone have any useful reading links or friendly pointers as I start my journey to create a performance-oriented network? Will my setup deliver run-of-the-mill performance? Good performance? Performance worthy of a magazine cover?

    Frisco,

    I’m not a webdevver myself. I’m a teacher and i want to do something similar for students. The subject i teach is making use of logbooks. I thought that with multisite i could create a kind of “mini wordpress.com” but i couldn’t find it.

    The system you are creating is a little bit too large for me, as i make use of a shared hosting provider. Did you find any information about setting up a system like this? All i can find is about WPMU or WordPress Network. My conclusion is that WPMU or Network is slightly different and not working the way i want it to work.

    Any chance you can point me in the same direction you’re going?

    Yes, that’s exactly what it’s like.

    Now you may not be able to do that on a shared host, but Multisite is precisely being able to run your own version of wp.com 🙂 Install it, set it up, done. You don’t need the extra stuff the OP mentioned unless you want a big site.
