Gavrisimo Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hello guys! I just bought new server which is unmanaged. I have everything that i need to run ipb 3.0.x but everything is with default values. So i would love to hear some tips on how to optimize apache, what modules to install, what to do with php like should i use some php accelerator... :) Why am i asking this? Well on my previus server which was managed, page load time for portal was 0.18 sec, and now it is like 0.5-0.7sec so i would love to what ever i can to speed that up a bit.

Will Munny Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If you're running cPanel, you could do a lot worse than installing the configserver plugin to manage your firewall. Although their install services are available for a fee, it's actually free software and if you're confident enough, you can install it and set it up on your own... http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html ... advice given humbly with no sense of superiority :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... Installed apc? :huh: We tried with memcache. But, there is a page "apc.php" that you can put on your server so it shows apc stats, also we found memcache.php page but it was always showing like 99,9% free and 0,01% was cached... :huh: What i want to say is that we didnt know if memcache was working at all... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've just got yourself an UNMANAGED server, PHP will be set to all it's default values i.e. wide open to attack, back door placements, this that and the other... you need to close up the cracks immediately. Apache/Linux comes with it's own firewall built in and configserver's plugin is a nice addition to your server as a graphical interface and automated system to detect attacks and block them. It also downloads things like the Spamhaus lists so it's up to date on the latest threats. You can just set it up and forget it... I went online with my server without the firewall switched on to see what would happen. Thousands of bots online, all of them bad bots. Getting your firewall set up nicely is key to saving your resources for those that deserve it i.e. your real human visitors.

Look at it like this: Put the plug in the plug hole before filling the bath with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
