how to install two physical web servers for same website

learninglinux1 · 07-29-2013, 11:05 AM

Hello, I installed Linux server for first time from ISO DVD with lamp, but I want to have 2 physical servers with redundant/mirror image data connected to the same website so that if one computer/hard drive/power supply fails, I still have the other one. How is this done? I guess the standard way that most websites accomplish this. Please help. Thanks.

If its too long, then just a big picture idea of the key steps.

Sure...

Set up two identical web servers.

Then, put a load balancer in front of it.

Additionally, you'll probably want to run 'varnish' cache on the web-servers to speed up serving time.
