THL Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've just got my host to install mysqltuner for me, they have added it to the /root/mysqltuner.p directory...

THL Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Speaking to my host they are suggesting increasing ram and moving to a 64bit OS , is this my only option ??? Heck IPB 3 uses more resources than IPB 2.3 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Looking at the MySQL Tuner output, you've not followed the instructions it gave you the first time you ran it. Your host is probably right about switching to a 64bit OS. Can you give us some more information about your server, including the following:What processor does it have?How much RAM do you have?What OS do you run currently (e.g. Ubuntu, CentOS)? and what version? Also about the forum, how many members online at any given time, etc? It sounds like you could possibly do with a host that would manage the server for you.Edit: Sorry, I missed that you'd included the server specs already. Other questions still apply.

THL Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello Dan the forum is set to show users online within 30mins not 15mins and peak times seems to be 400-500 members and 600 guests which some are spiders within the 30min period.... The OS used is linux centos 5 I think??? The hosting is with liquidweb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
