texte = John,I like your idea, however the folders that will be created will be publicly accessible folders of the formwww.domain.com/users/nickname/I would imagine creating folders like you recommend would then cause problems getting apache to properly recognize them.I guess I could use your suggestion and wildcard the domain in DNS so I could end up using http://nickname.domain.com/ instead. That would probably be easier to configure, but I am not sure.ThanksDaleon 11/24/2001 9:23 PM, John Peacock at jpeacock@rowman.com wrote:> dale wrote: >> > >> Does anyone know if having say 50,000 directories within a single directory >> is a problem for Linux? >> > > > Although I don't think there is any realistic limit, you will still > experience performance issues if you have that many directories.
