Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform built on Zend PHP and MySQL. It is widely adopted by online retailers with some 150,000 sites known to use it. Single server setups are easy to set up, but if your store is a huge success, then you probably need to think about clustering your environment with multiple servers. Clustering is done at the web, database and file-system level, as all web nodes need access to catalog images.
This post is similar to our previous posts on scaling Drupal and WordPress performance, and focuses on how to scale Magento on multiple servers. The software used is Magento version 1.7.0.2 , nginx, HAProxy, MySQL Galera Cluster and OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster File System) with a shared storage using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise) 64bit.
Our setup consists of 6 nodes or servers:
NODE1: web server + database server NODE2: web server + database server NODE3: web server + database server LB1: load balancer (master) + keepalived LB2: load balancer (backup) + keepalived ST1: shared storage + ClusterControl
We will be using OCFS2, a shared disk file system to serve the web files across our web servers. Each of these web servers will have a nginx web server colocated with a MySQL Galera Cluster instance. We will be using 2 other nodes for load balancing.
Our major steps would be:
Prepare 6 instances Deploy MySQL Galera Cluster onto NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3 from ST1 Configure iSCSI target on ST1 Configure OCFS2 and mount the shared disk onto NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3 Configure nginx on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3 Configure Keepalived and HAProxy for web and database load balancing with auto failover Install Magento and connect it to the Web/DB cluster via the load balancer
Prepare Hosts
Add following hosts definition in /etc/hosts :
192.168.197.150 mymagento.com www.mymagento.com mysql.mymagento.com #virtual IP 192.168.197.151 NODE1 web1 db1 192.168.197.152 NODE2 web2 db2 192.168.197.153 NODE3 web3 db3 192.168.197.161 LB1 192.168.197.162 LB2 192.168.197.171 ST1 clustercontrol
Turn off sudo with password:
$ sudo visudo
And append following line:
% sudo ALL = ( ALL:ALL ) NOPASSWD: ALL
Deploy MySQL Galera Cluster
1. To set up MySQL Galera Cluster, go to the Galera Configurator to generate a deployment package. In the wizard, we used the following values when configuring our database cluster:
Vendor: Codership (based on MySQL 5.5) Infrastructure: none/on-premises Operating System: Ubuntu 12.04 Number of Galera Servers: 3+1 OS user: ubuntu ClusterControl Server: 192.168.197.171 Database Servers: 192.168.197.151 192.168.197.152 192.168.197.153At the end of the wizard, a deployment package will be generated and emailed to you.
2. Download the deployment package and run deploy.sh :
$ wget http: // www.severalnines.com / galera-configurator / tmp / a3l3pnv560sforpeb29lruds94 / s9s-galera-codership-2.4.0.tar.gz $ tar xvfz s9s-galera-codership-2.4.0.tar.gz $ cd s9s-galera-codership-2.4.0 / mysql / scripts / install $ bash . / deploy.sh 2 >& 1 | tee cc.log
3. The deployment takes about 15 minutes, and once it is completed, note your API key. Use it to register the cluster with the ClusterControl UI by going to http://192.168.197.171/cmonapi . You will now see your MySQL Galera Cluster in the UI.
Configure iSCSI
1. The storage server (ST1) needs to export a disk through iSCSI so it can be mounted on all three web servers (NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3). iSCSI basically tells your kernel you have a SCSI disk, and it transports that access over IP. The “server” is called the “target” and the “client” that uses that iSCSI device is the “initiator”.
Install iSCSI target in ST1:
$ sudo apt-get install -y iscsitarget iscsitarget-dkms
2. Enable iscsitarget:
$ sudo sed -i "s|false|true|g" / etc / default / iscsitarget
3. It is preferred to have separate disk for this file system clustering purpose. So we are going to use another disk mounted in ST1 (/dev/sdb) to be shared among web server nodes. Define this in iSCSI target configuration file:
$ vim / etc / iet / ietd.conf
And add following lines:
Target iqn.2013-06.ST1:ocfs2
Lun 0 Path = / dev / sdb, Type =fileio
Alias iscsi_ocfs2
4. Add NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3 by specifying the network into iSCSI allow list:
$ vim / etc / iet / initiators.allow
And append following line:
ALL 192.168.197.0 / 24
5. Start iSCSI target service:
$ sudo service iscsitarget start
6. Install iSCSI initiator on respective hosts:
$ sudo apt-get install -y open-iscsi
7. Set the iSCSI initiator to automatically start and restart the iSCSI initiator service to apply changes:
$ sudo sed -i "s|^node.startup.*|node.startup = automatic|g" / etc / iscsi / iscsid.conf $ sudo service open-iscsi restart
8. Discover iSCSI targets that we have setup earlier:
$ sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p ST1 192.168.197.171: 3260 , 1 iqn.2013-06.ST1:ocfs2
9. If you see some result as above, means we can see and able to connect to the iSCSI target. We just need to do another restart to access the iSCSI target:
$ sudo service open-iscsi restart
10. Make sure you can see the new hard disk ( /dev/sdb ) listed under /dev directory:
$ ls -1 / dev / sd *
Configure OCFS2
** The following steps should be performed on NODE1 unless specified.
1. OCFS2 allows for file system to be mounted more than one place. Install OCFS2 tools in NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3:
$ sudo apt-get install -y ocfs2-tools
2. Create disk partition table for hard disk drive /dev/sdb :
$ sudo cfdisk / dev / sdb
Create a partition by using following sequences in the wizard: New > Primary > accept Size > Write > yes
3. Creates an OCFS2 file system on /dev/sdb1 :
$ sudo mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 128K -L "Magento_Cluster" / dev / sdb1
4. Create cluster configuration file and define the node and cluster directives:
# /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf
cluster:
node_count = 3
name = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.197.151
number = 1
name = NODE1
cluster = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.197.152
number = 2
name = NODE2
cluster = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.197.153
number = 3
name = NODE3
cluster = ocfs2
*Notes: The attributes under the node or cluster clause need to be after a tab.
** The following steps should be performed on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3 unless specified.
5. Create the same configuration file ( /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf ) in NODE2 and NODE3. This file should be the same on all nodes in the cluster, and changes to this file must be propagated to the other nodes in the cluster.
6. Enable o2cb driver to load the driver on boot on all nodes:
$ sudo sed -i "s|false|true|g" / etc / default / o2cb
7. Restart iSCSI initiator to update the newly created disk partition:
$ sudo service open-iscsi restart
8. Restart o2cb service to apply the changes in /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf :
$ sudo service o2cb restart
9. Create the web files directory under /var/www :
$ sudo mkdir -p / var / www / magento
10. Get the block ID for the /dev/sdb1 . UUID is recommended in fstab if you use iSCSI device:
$ sudo blkid / dev / sdb1 | awk { 'print $3' }
UUID = "82b1d98c-30e7-4ade-ab9b-590f857797fd"
11. Add following line into /etc/fstab :
UUID =82b1d98c-30e7-4ade-ab9b-590f857797fd / var / www / magento ocfs2 defaults,_netdev 0 0
12. Mount the filesystem:
$ sudo mount -a
13. In NODE1, uncompress and copy Magento web files into /var/www/magento and setup directory permission:
$ tar -xzf magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz $ sudo cp -Rf magento /* / var / www / magento $ sudo chown -R www-data.www-data / var / www / magento $ sudo chmod 777 / var / www / magento / app / etc $ sudo chmod 777 -Rf / var / www / magento / var $ sudo chmod 777 -Rf / var / www / magento / media
Configure nginx and PHP-FPM
** The following steps should be performed on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE3.
1. We will use nginx as the web server for Magento. Install nginx and all required PHP modules:
$ sudo apt-get install nginx php5-common php5-cli php5-fpm php5-mysql php5-mcrypt php5-gd php5-curl php-soap
2. Open nginx virtual host configuration file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and add following lines:
# /etc/nginx/sites-available/magento
server {
server_name mymagento.com www.mymagento.com;
root / var / www / magento;
location / {
index index.html index.php;
try_files $uri $uri / @ handler;
expires 30d;
}
location / app / { deny all; }
location / includes / { deny all; }
location / lib / { deny all; }
location / media / downloadable / { deny all; }
location / pkginfo / { deny all; }
location / report / config.xml { deny all; }
location / var / { deny all; }
location ~ / \. {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
location @ handler {
rewrite / / index.php;
}
location ~ .php / {
rewrite ^ ( . * .php ) / $1 last ;
}
location ~ .php$ {
if ( ! -e $request_filename ) { rewrite / / index.php last ; }
expires off;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1: 9000 ;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root $fastcgi_script_name ;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE default;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
3. Create a symbolic link from sites-available directory to enable the magento virtual host:
$ cd / etc / nginx / sites-enabled $ sudo ln -s / etc / nginx / sites-available / magento magento
4. Restart nginx and PHP:
$ sudo service php5-fpm restart $ sudo service nginx restart
Load Balancer and Failover
Instead of using HAProxy for doing SQL load balancing, we will be using some of the suggestions based on this article and just have the Magento instances connect to their local MySQL Server using localhost, with following criteria:
Magento in each node will connect to MySQL database using localhost and bypassing HAProxy. Load balancing on database layer is only for mysql client/console. HAProxy will be used to balance HTTP. Keepalived will be used to hold the virtual IP: 192.168.197.150 on load balancers LB1 and LB2In case you plan to place the MySQL Servers on separate servers, then the Magento instances should connect to the database cluster via the HAProxy.
1. We have created scripts to install HAProxy and Keepalived, these can be obtained from our Git repository.
Install git and clone the repo:
$ apt-get install -y git $ git clone https: // github.com / severalnines / s9s-admin.git
2. Make sure LB1 and LB2 are accessible using passwordless SSH. Copy the SSH keys to LB1 and LB2:
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~ / .ssh / id_rsa 192.168.197.161 $ ssh-copy-id -i ~ / .ssh / id_rsa 192.168.197.162
3. Install HAProxy on both nodes:
$ cd s9s-admin / cluster / $ sudo . / s9s_haproxy --install -i 1 -h 192.168.197.161 $ sudo . / s9s_haproxy --install -i 1 -h 192.168.197.162
4. Install Keepalived on LB1 (master) and LB2 (backup) with 192.168.197.150 as virtual IP:
$ sudo . / s9s_haproxy --install-keepalived -i 1 -x 192.168.197.161 -y 192.168.197.162 -v 192.168.197.150
5. By default, the script will configure the MySQL reverse proxy service to listen on port 33306. We will need to add a few more lines to tell HAproxy to load balance our web server farm as well. Add following line in /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg :
frontend http-in
bind * : 80
default_backend web_farm
backend web_farm
server NODE1 192.168.197.151: 80 maxconn 32
server NODE2 192.168.197.152: 80 maxconn 32
server NODE3 192.168.197.153: 80 maxconn 32
6. Restart HAProxy service:
$ sudo killall haproxy $ sudo / usr / sbin / haproxy -f / etc / haproxy / haproxy.cfg -p / var / run / haproxy.pid -st ` cat / var / run / haproxy.pid `
Install Magento
1. Now that we have a load-balanced setup that is ready to support Magento, we will now create our Magento database. From the ClusterControl UI, go to Manage > Schema and Users > Create Database to create the database:
2. Create the database user under Privileges tab:
3. Assign the correct privileges for magento_user on database magento_site:
At the moment, we assume you have pointed mymagento.com and www.mymagento.com to the virtual IP, 192.168.197.150.
4. Open web browser and go to mymagento.com. You should see an installation page similar to screenshot below:
* Take note that we are using localhost in the host value, session data will be saved in database. It will allow users to use the same session regardless of which web server they are connected to.
Notes
** Updated on 9th Dec 2013 **
By default Magento will setup a MyISAM table specifically for FULLTEXT indexing called catalogsearch_fulltext . MyISAM tables are supported within MySQL Galera Cluster, however, MyISAM has only basic support, primarily because the storage engine is non-transactional and so Galera cannot guarantee the data will remain consistent within the cluster.
Codership has released MySQL-wsrep 5.6 supports with Galera 3.0 which currently in beta release at the time of this update. You could either use the MySQL-wsrep 5.6 which supports InnoDB FTS or convert all non-Galera friendly tables to use InnoDB with primary keys. Alternatively, you can use external search engine (such as Solr or Sphinx) for FTS capabilities.
If you choose the latter option, you need to convert some of the tables to work well with Galera by executing following queries on one of the DB node:
mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.api2_acl_user ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.api_session ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.weee_discount ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.widget_instance_page_layout ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.xmlconnect_config_data ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.oauth_nonce ADD id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST , ENGINE = 'InnoDB' ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.catalogsearch_fulltext DROP INDEX FTI_CATALOGSEARCH_FULLTEXT_DATA_INDEX ; mysql > ALTER TABLE magento.catalogsearch_fulltext ENGINE = 'InnoDB' ;
Verify The Architecture
1. Check the HAproxy statistics by logging into the HAProxy admin page at LB1 host port 9600. The default username/password is admin/admin. You should see some bytes in and out on the web_farm and s9s_33306_production divs:
2. Check and observe the traffic on your database cluster from the ClusterControl overview page athttps://192.168.197.171/clustercontrol :
There are many improvements that could be made to this setup. For example, you could provide redundancy to the shared storage server by installing DRBD. You can also add a Varnish Cache in the load balancing servers to provide better caching on your static contents and reduce the load on the web servers/database servers.
