[users@httpd] benchmarking - how to?
I want to benchmark a php program I wrote and I know Apache has a
benchmarking tool. However, I've never used it and I don't know a thing
about benchmarking. What are some general rules of thumb for doing a
benchmark? How would I use the benchmarking tool in Apache to get real
world like results? I'm sure I'm missing some questions but if anyone has
suggestions I would love to hear them as I have never done this before.
thanks for any help!

Hi I have in the past run the ab utility.
The blurb about ab benchmarking tool.
For getting a benchmark, you can use a tool called *ab*, or Apache
Bench. This is a tool that comes with the Apache server. If you have
Apache 1.3 or later installed on Linux, *ab* is included. On Windows
it's included with the Apache 2 release. Running *ab* is straightforward
—just pass the uniform resource locator (URL) you want to test, like
so:
In browser address bar run:
ab http://localhost/
I hope this helps.
