290192 - ensure reporter webtool can run on a load-balanced system

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Reporter, defect)

Description

[Chase Phillips]

New server infrastructure plans for the Mozilla Foundation include a heavy
emphasis on load-balanced systems via LVS or a hardware-based load-balancer.  We
want the reporter webtool to be capable of fitting into this new world so it can
take advantage of the extra capacity we're building.

This bug may be resolved invalid if reporter already solely uses a database
connection for all of its stateful work.

The only non-db thing is a session for admin use (which we aren't using yet).

one of the reasons why I switched to adodb is so I can use adodb-session.php for
session management in the database itself.

When I enable that feature, we will be using a new table in the database for
managing sessions.

So yes, it's good to go now, as all data is in the DB.  And yes we plan to keep
it that way.

We can technically close this as INVALID as I'm aware of it already (and have
been).  Though there's also technically some incompatibility in the login module
at the second... though it's unused.

We're doing it for over a month now, so I guess were good ;-)

Closing as Fixed.
