README

        
This project attempts to benchmark the baseline level of responsiveness of various PHP frameworks to discover the overhead involved in using each one.

The previous version of this project is at Google Code here: . This version supersedes the previous version at Google Code.

Benchmarking Server Setup

=========================

Hardware and Operating System

-----------------------------

The benchmark is performed on an Amazon EC2 `m1.large` instance. This provides 4 EC2 compute units and 7.5 G of RAM.  The operating system is a stock 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 image provided by .

Installation instructions for EC2 are beyond the scope of this project. Once you have an EC2 account at Amazon and the appropriate EC2 shell tools, run a new instance under your own username ...

    ec2-run-instances ami-08f40561 --instance-type=m1.large -k {$USERNAME}

... then SSH into the running instance to continue.

    ssh -i /path/to/id_rsa-{$USERNAME} ubuntu@{$SUBDOMAIN}.amazonaws.com

Software Installation

---------------------

After the instance comes online, issue the following shell commands to install and configure the necessary packages.

    # become root

    sudo -s

    

    # initial updates

    aptitude update

    aptitude dist-upgrade -y

    # apache2, php, git, siege

    aptitude install -y \

        apache2-mpm-prefork \

        libapache2-mod-php5 \

        php-apc \

        php5-cli \

        php5-common \

        php5-dev \

        git-all \

        siege

    

    # install http_load

    cd /root

    wget http://www.acme.com/software/http_load/http_load-12mar2006.tar.gz

    tar -zxvf http_load-12mar2006.tar.gz

    cd http_load-12mar2006

    make

    make install

    

    # modify the Apache DocumentRoot for the project checkout

    cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

    sed -i "s~/var/www~/var/www/htdocs~" default

    sed -i "s/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/" default

    

    # turn off mod_deflate, turn on mod_rewrite

    a2dismod deflate

    a2enmod rewrite

    

    # replace /var/www with the project checkout

    rm -rf /var/www

    git clone git://github.com/pmjones/php-framework-benchmarks.git /var/www

    

    # switch to /var/www and open all permissions (e.g. for caches)

    cd /var/www

    chmod -R 777 htdocs

    

    # create real config file from the distribution copy

    cp config.ini-dist config.ini

    

    # restart apache

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    

Now you can run the benchmarks against a series of framework targets.

Running the Benchmarks

======================

 At the EC2 command line, issue the following:

    

    cd /var/www

    ./bench/http_load target/all.ini

(There are other bench scripts and target files as well.)

The script will do the following for each framework target:

- Restart Apache

- Browse to the framework once to warm up the cache

- Benchmark the the framework 5 times for 1 minute each with 10 users

- Log the results

At the end of the benchmarking, the script will collate the logged benchmark results and print a report on the framework responsiveness.
