mat_ Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Maybe I have to switch to two-servers configuration (www and sql) but firstly I would like your opinion from experienced administrators. For 800-900 users online (5mins). What servers specification are needed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct2·com Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It would help if you told us your current spec, the operating system, what else is running on your site, and the server load stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 With 900 people online at a time, you are probably reaching the point where you need two servers. This is all variable, depending on what is most used on your site and what your members do there, but with this many members you probably have a lot of posts, and once people start heavily browsing and searching and stuff, having everything on one box can drag down a little.

crafty55 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Use the server with less ram but beefy cpu for httpd w/fastcgi php Use the other box for MySQLD (Compile it yourself, and try to get two drives, setup innodb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
