Where does PrestaShop store multimedia contents

[arlya]

Hello to everyone!

 

I am configuring a load balanced installation of prestashop: I installed it on various machines, and load balance through them via HAProxy. In those machines, I have the same settings.inc.php in order to ensure that each machine can use the DBMS, and everything is working.

 

By the way, I created a product and noticed that the image of the product isn't stored on the database, but in the local filesystem of the machine that has actually created it (in a "p" folder, if I'm not wrong). So, if a client accesses to another machine (via load balance), he won't be able to see that image: that's a problem.

 

So, it seems like I need to share the filesystem through the various machines, using for example NFS. But I need to know which folders I need to share, and so here's my question: where does PrestaShop store the contents? Should I share via NFS the root folder or can I just share some folders?

 

Thanks to everyone.

All images are stored in the /img/ directory and all the combined and minified CSS and JavaScript is in the /themes/yourtheme/cache directory. Is it only images, CSS and JavaScript that you need to load balance?

 

Is there a reason you aren't using the media server option on the Advanced Parameters > Performance tab? On there, you can enter multiple domains or subdomains and PrestaShop will randomly choose between these domains to load media.
