we are in process of bringing to life new FORUM (IPS Board obviously). 1) is there a way to "test drive" / "measure performance" the charge and speed of the board before going to production? how do you usually do it ? i interested how many user can in handle. 2) can jmeter help with it (i don't have any experience with it, so a tutorial would be useful)? p.s. for now it is planned to be hosted on a "low cost" shared host (8eu/month dreamhost) but we are considering of cloud hosting (digital ocean or linode)

Hey guys, I am hoping that in the future my website eventually gets 500-1000 users at any given time. I was browsing Hostgator's dedicated servers here: http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated Do you think their Pro Dedicated Server would be able to handle such a load? Here's the specs of it: Intel Xeon Quad Core, 3.3GHz (8 threads) 1 Gbps Uplink 16 GB High Performance RAM 1,000 GB RAID-1 Drives 25 TB Bandwidth 5 Dedicated IPs So, do you guys think that those specs are good enough? Also, I am looking for a Managed server since I have NO server experience. In terms of optimization, what will that require? I have only shared hosting experience. Does "optimizati…

I am trying to pull a large number of record entries from a database feed into a block to allow sorting/filtering. I use the datatables script to display my table but I'm running into problems once I try to pull more than 700 or so records from the database. The page I am building is here: http://www.e-athlete.net/Madden15PlayerRatings/ratings Support is saying it would use too many resources which is why I am getting the errors below. Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or ideas other than making separate pages for each of the teams/positions I am trying to filter with.

Did they change the way it works ? It used to be simple create app copy paste the app ID and App Secret and make sure its online. now the app is in developement mode so users can't use it, I really need to go through all that hassle in app details and upload pictures and give all that info ? "This app is in development mode" Am I missing something I need now to wait for a review to make it available to my users to login with it ?

Hi guys, I've just upgraded to Percona (thanks all for the suggestion), and I was just wondering how to upgrade to XtraDB. From what I understood, on Percona, InnoDB is automatically replaced with XtraDB, as we can check with SHOW ENGINES;, so no extra step is required to use XtraDB. Can someone confirm this? Thanks, Gabriel.

Hi, We've seen an unexplained increase of our server load out of the blue. Our forum is targeted to a specific country; right now it is 3:43 in the morning and I am seeing loads above 10. Usually, at this time, load would stay at 3, tops. With top, I can see a few processes that are using 100% CPU. However, I don't know how to investigate exactly what they are doing, i.e. how to find what exactly is shooting load through the roof. Please see attached screenshot. Our webserver is a dedicated server (MySQL is running on another dedicated server) with 32 GiB RAM, SSDs in RAID0, and for CPU is has 2x Xeon E5-2430, for a total of 24 processing cores. The connec…

Hi, It is a common recommendation here to move the sessions table to memory. However, today I got the following issue: couldn't login to ACP (database error), online user list showed only 17 online users (when we usually have around 1000~2000). Checking mysql log, found this: 2014-07-28 18:16:22 23604 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: The table 'sessions' is full Checking the sessions table: mysql> SELECT count(*) FROM sessions; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 17 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Strange, huh? Fixed the problem with DELETE FROM sessions; However, I wonder what may have caused this. Asked support for an opinion, and the…

Hi All, I have recently migrated the community to IPB from PHPBB and apparently facing triple the load time. On same server (2GB Ram, 8 core Xeon) in phpbb it was taking around 2-2.5 secs and now with IPB its taking around 6-8 secs. I am running classifieds, company directory and IP content. I tried switching all off and still load time reduced by 10% to 5.5 - 7 secs nothing really noticeable difference. I installed lazy loader install but no luck, its still running. Appreciate if someone with more knowledge can help me finding the real pain point of this slow load up. Domain name: carnity dot com Thanks in advance.

Hi, When one sets up pools, is it best practice to split up each sub domain with it's own pool. Example: stats site discussion forum some other sub domain another subdomain As far as I can tell this would be best practice having each domain or subdomain use it's own pool with it's own set of requirements based on load etc. Advice ? Thanks

After spending almost two weeks in research and discussing my slow page load. VPS provider Godaddy blames IPB codes, IPB blames server (never ending chicken & egg story).
