My client has site in Drupal, I created webservices to expose data on mobile site. My question: Is there any difference in web service performance if Drupal site and mobile site are on same server VS on different server?
Yes. It will be quicker if they are on the same server as the request won't have to go out into the internet.
Yes. If one app is on server, server is fast. Else server is slower and slower.

I have a site running via Visual Studio (i.e. at http://localhost:1234)
I need to access this site from test web server(windows/IIS).
I can ping from the web server to my machine name.
Just wondering what I need to do to test this? to browse the site from the web server?
Thanks
I usually just do a quick Publish and set up a web site application in IIS to point to the published location. I am interested to know if there is another way though.
My friend has developed a recommend system in C++, now we want to make a web information system based on his work. As we both do not have no Web technology knowledge, I have some questions:
If we want to develop a web site which based on this recommend system, we should implement the recommend system in the application server and make a web server that could return the pages, right?
Then what web server we should use or use what technique to develop a web server to call the function in the recommend system? How the web server communicates with the application server?
Some web frameworks, such as Django, does it act as web server or application server or it is both?
As we have so much basic questions, do you have some books or website to recommend?
You can think of your C++ app as a service that your Django app can execute to return values to your users. You could easily execute any application on the same server as Django and capture the response or you could create a thin HTTP API and put your C++ app on its own server and call it by HTTP from your Django app to make requests for your users.
https://www.djangoproject.com/ is a great place to start.
I have a CakePHP based web application deployed on Apache (LAMP stack). Now I am doing a Web Services API using bottlePy that will expose services to be consumed by an Android application. The thing is both the applications will be working of the same MySql DB tables and reading/writing to the same. The reason its been done this way is because the CakaPHP based application is already available and was done a while back. Now we have a need to do an Android app and hence need to expose a Web Services API and since I am more comfortable with Python I would rather use. But before I dive deep in this direction I wanted to get answer to the following:
Can I have both the CakePHP web app and BottlePy based Web Services API served from the same Apache server? If not what will be an alternate?
Will two different apps accessing the same MySQL DB cause any issues in terms of locks, data integrity etc?
Anything else I need to be careful about?
So, I have implemented it anyways and it has been working great. I guess that answers the question, that yes it can be done.
I have both cakephp and bottlepy app served from same apache server.
I havent seen any issues and data gets written from both cakephp web app and bottlepy web api connected to android app.
Getting cakephp and bottlepy served from same apache server was a bit tricky but I got it working. I am not a webserver expert so dont know if the problems I faced were trivial or I solved something difficult. In either case it is working. If you face similar issues, let me know and I will post a detailed reply on how I did the setup.
I'm developing asp.net mvc web application that calls third party web services.
I'm not sure about web services but looks like that they are java web services. They work perfect when I call them from windows console application or run my site under asp.net development server. But when I host my site under IIS 7.5 (I check it under Windows 7 32x and Windows Web Server 64x) performance is degraded in 10 time.
Could anybody suggest me with settings which I should check or anything else?
The best idea that I have, it is using Reversed Proxy for matching data that pass.
I've tired to use Fiddler 2 in this way. But what a pity I have trouble because web services are hosted via https.
Somebody has idea how to solve this?
I have a SOAP web service code (.asmx) created using VS.NET 2008 which I plan to host on a web server. I am unaware and completely new to the term 'hosting' . My question is whether there are any free and limited period web hosting services that offer me to host a .asmx web service having Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as backend. If yes, what should the approach be from my side ? Should I the upload the .asmx code or the entire VS.NET project ? I am working on localhost at present.
Thanks
This describes how to deploy ASMX web services:

You'll need to find a web host that supports IIS and ASP.NET. I'm not aware of any free hosts that support server side scripts and SQL databases. One of the cheapest options that I've used in the past is GoDaddy, which should satisfy all your needs.
You can test locally if you install IIS 7, available through the web platform installer:
