Hi everybody, I'd like to move to a dedicated platform, given that the mutualized / shared server my board is on cannot host us any longer, because of a too important traffic. There are several offers I looked up to, but I do not really know whether these servers will be enough to fit to my board. That is why I came here, hoping that maybe some of you could help me with that! Here are some of the main statistics of my board : - 18k members - 973k posts - Max 1k members online / 15 minutes (usually 200-600) And here are the offers that I'm interested in (these pages show the main informations about each server) : - Deewiojfsfx SC : http://www.online.net/serveur-d…

I did the "locate php.ini" command and there was a list in different location, so I tired to edit this one: /usr/lib64/kloxophp/zend/etc/php.ini I changed the max upload limit allowed to 5M and now my forum isn't loading. It seems like php isn't working at all. Is there anything I can do to correct this? EDIT: This is the output after I ran this command: [root@server ~]# php --ini PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/curl.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules…

Hey guys, So we got hacked the other day. Actually, it was just a member who somehow got an admins password, and went in ACP and started deleting members. So I restored the members table from the backup from the previous night. Everything is fine now except the server is being weird. Right after I restored the backup table, the server load was going over 50 and causing the site to be inaccessible for 10-15 minutes out of every hour. Since then, our tech support company has made tweaks to MySQL, and the server load averages from 2-5 (it used to be 0.2 to 0.7 before the incident), occasionally going over 5 and making the community inaccessible due to the ACP settin…

this weekend i have been playing with Zabbix for do some stats/monitoring...to be honest its kinda harsh in the GUI are, but very powerfull, so after playing a bit i made this simple template to also monitor IPB along with CPU/HD/SQL... it has 3 stats: new topics, threads and members, and one graph for those stats, i had not setup any triggers, but its very easy, a good use for triggers is to have an alert if there are no new members or posts in X time Template: UserParameters (in IPB server agent config file) UserParameter=ipbGA.posts, echo 'SELECT COUNT(*) from DDBB.PREFIX_posts where post_date > UNIX_TIMESTAMP( ) -3600;'| mysql -s -r -uUSER -pPasswD Use…

I've been having some problems with the my forum lately (slow loading times, server services failing (spamd specifically)) so I was going through this forum looking for ideas on how to troubleshoot this.

I am curious to know how other people backup their databases on a regular basis? Currently I use a cron job (because I am too lazy to do it manually), it backs up the database and then gzip's it. However I have been having a problem over the past couple of weeks with very erratic and incomplete backup sizes. The database is just under 400MB in size and I am running my board on a dedicated server. Looking at server stats the memory and cpu averages seem to be fine, never a problem, so I don't quite understand why a backup should be say around 67MB then the next backup is 41, 8, 11, 30, etc. Any ideas? Ted.

I grew weary of techs (employed by the web hosting company I lease from) working on my VPS. They always seemed to know what they were talking about, yet, they never actually accomplished anything. This was always the case after creating countless support tickets for my account. Recently, I read a post made by 3DKiwi, regarding a server issue another member was having. It was causing problems for his forum, I believe? He (3DKiwi) recommended another member, (in his words) "a server guru" who had worked on his server, and which he had been pleased about. I didn't have the exact username for the guy who did the work, so I sent a PM to 3DKiwi to ask him. Anyway, long story …

Wanted to see if anyone else has any experience with this. I have been getting a lot of internal redirect errors with googlebot and for some reason I can't figure out how. I set LogLevel to debug to help try and track it down. All of the urls work for me when visiting the different pages. I enabled the rewrite loglevel to 3 and it is coming from my main website. It seems to be a redirect loop when leads to the robots.txt file but I can't figure out how it would be doing a loop.

Looking for some help with this as IPB support are trying hard but not getting anywhere. I have a slow query issue which is down to Topic Markers the query taking approx 5 sec to execute (see below) my board is currently 460,000 posts with 7000 members on average a hard core of 250 members on in 24hours so not that demanding. I have over 300 tables for IPB and other IPB add on Gallery blog etc. Extract from Slow query log, top, mysqltuner after upgrade.

My hosting has installed FastCGI along with a newer version of PHP and APC for caching. Forum seems a little slower compared to when I had just PHP and xcache on.. Would Fastcgi slow things down , I'm not the best on this sort of stuff??

Hi, I've been optimizing my VPS with mysqltuner and tuning-primer and I've increased tmp_table_size and max_heap_table_size to a point that I don't understand it's behavior. At this moment I have 112MB but with lower values (16MB) I get almost the same results: Temporary tables created on disk: 29% (358 on disk / 1K total) I read that Blob and Text fields are always created on disk, so maybe this is the problem since there are lot's of text fields Any ideas? Thanks

Okay so, if I do a ping on the server IP it pings just fine.. However, if I do a ping on the domain, it comes up with no info... At times im able to view the site without using the www. prefix, but I cant view it using the www. prefix And then there is other times, when I cant view it at all I do have the IP and the domain listed in my hosts file... which solved the issue for about 2 hours... then I wasnt able to view it anymore... I have done a full cache clear and a dns flush But im still having issues viewing the site.. I can view if I use the IP... but not using the actual domain. Would anyone know what would cause something like that? Could something be…

Lately I'm having tonnes of problems with a server that I own and manage. at this time, it goes slow....until it goes totally down. From that moment no commands work. I only must login on the provider admin cp, and restart the machine. It's a CentOS distro based, cPanel, and some site up. From what I've understood from the latest ticket with a cPanel tech, there should be a problem on a partition, with a drive. This is the response: But It becomes far from my competences. Who experienced the same issues? The server hosts some site, but is for 99% of the physical space empty. Who can help me?
