Faster Private Files in Drupal
Wed, 01/13/2010 - 13:36 — justinI ran into a situation after upgrading my Drupal site from 5x to 6x where my site was extremely slow. Turns out, it was all related to private files. There was some custom code before that was bypassing the private file mechanism so we never knew the difference. I removed that custom code as part of the upgrade and we got major slowness.
The issue though is that we have functionality that requires private files for some of the files. As a workaround, James Walker suggested a solution and it has worked really well for us.

Today I needed to compile mod_xsendfile for OS X on Intel. The standard command for this,
apxs -cia mod_xsendfile.c
resulted in a module that was for i386 only.
Apache on Leopard (untested on Tiger) doesn’t appreciate this, throwing this error:
