100% CPU usage when 20GB of pictures in static

[Marian Siwiak]

Hello everybody,

I have a problem, I have a huge database of png files, which need to be accessed by users of my system, however, when I place them in 'static' folder, web2py used 100 of my CPU (and it's not 286 architecture...). 

Any advice? I never found a way to create links leading outside application folder, but it would be a solution.

Best regards,

Marian

I think in deployment recipe in the book there is instruction on how let nginx or apache server static file directly without web2py intervention have you read it?

I try to found the part I am talking about and paste the link

Are you accessing it from localhost? I suspect it is the browser which is using 100% of the CPU, not the server. Anyway, it is more efficient to use nginx or apache to serve static files, rather then web2py.

@Richard - I found it. Thank you. I don't know how could I miss it.

@ Massimo - you're right, it was local development server, but top pointed to web2py as guilty. 

When I was installing web2py (1.99 back then), however, I was unable to set all those VirtualHost issues to have two separately working servers, but maybe I'll have to. 

Best regards,

Marian
