I'm at my wits end with this stuff and wondering if someone can help me figure out where the resource issues are coming from on my site. At the moment I host 4 sites on my VPS, the busiest of which is in my sig, the other one's don't even register on the "mildly busy" dial. Since I upgraded to 3.3 I didn't really notice any resource issues, in fact probably the opposite, it seemed a little snappier if anything. Then I noticed an issue with IPDownloads category listings, they were slightly off-tab so enabling screenshots to show on sub cats sorted that. The resource usage went through the roof so I quickly reverted that and things went back to normal. I've since …

I just used myisamchk -r --force --fast /var/lib/mysql/ipb/posts.* as an attempt to fix a crash table. It was running really fast, but now it's stuck at "index 8" and has not moved for an hour. Is this normal? Data records: 2400361 - Fixing index 1 - Fixing index 2 - Fixing index 3 - Fixing index 4 - Fixing index 5 - Fixing index 6 - Fixing index 7 - Fixing index 8 2400000

Does anyone use ConfigServer Firewall (specifically with cPanel)? I am using it but genuine users are being throttled and the log reports "IP too many connections" and says the number of requests to port 80 (HTTP), usually a couple hundred (e.g. 431 or 652). I changed CONNLIMIT parameter to 80;5000 and the throttling still occurs even at lower numbers. Anyone know the specifics of what's going on? ConfigServer forums don't seem to care about my post.

We have a six core HT server with 16 GB RAM. The httpd and my.cnf are all set as default values. This is the current server status. Clearly there is a lot of scope to optimize.

I will be going with an unmanaged server for my new website that is coming in late May. I will be running IP.Board and IP.Content to begin with. I am planning on using the following for the server: Litespeed - I plan on going with the Standard (free) edition first and then upgrade to the paid version. Percona Server with XtraDB - This will replace standard MySQL. PHP - Obviously. Ubuntu Server 12.04 - Might decide to go with CentOS, still not 100% sure. I am also going to look into some cache software later. Is there anything you would recommend? Edit Also, I am going to be working without a control panel.

As I've said elsewhere... Source: https://eaccelerator...leConfiguration So after install of eaccelerator 0.9.6.1, setting $INFO['use_eaccelerator'] = '1'; is pointless! Use memcache for that. U can run both memcached and eaccelerator together becasue they cache differnt things. OR use xcache (slightly slower) which still caches BOTH. (easier setup).

I have a VPS with Heart Internet, 4 cores (was on 3 prior to last night) GenuineIntel QEMU Virtual CPU version (cpu64-rhel6) Speed: 2393.998 MHz Cache: 4096 KB 3gig memory 50gig hard drive I also have WebHost Manager. Last night was one of our what should of been busiest times as it's a football forum and we played a local rival. We usually hit around 60 members and 150 guests on a Saturday and have no problems, during the week around 100 people online at all times. Last night we have an extra…

Invision lists some software reqs (PHP, MySQL version, etc.) but doesn't really go beyond that into what memory, cpu, disk, etc. are required. I have a VPS with a very good provider (buyvm.net) - 1GB memory, share of 4 CPUs, fast disk, Debian. It's OpenVZ. Right now I have a half-dozen low-traffic Wordpress blogs. It's running nginx with php-fpm, and I have it setup for 15 nging processes/fpm workers. There's usually 1-3 concurrent connections now (much more often 1). The board I'm starting is brand new and focused on a particular technology so it will take a while before it gets big. I also have an AWS t1 micro instance (613MB of RAM) with nothing running on i…
