iWeb Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm running on Servint VPS and my forum seems to lag out from time to time. So, I'm wondering if there something wrong with my server? Attached to this post is a screenshot of the diagnostics. I don't really know what to look for, but is there anything odd about the stats? ------ 768 MB Guaranteed (1.5 GB Burst RAM) Hardware RAID 10 CentOS 5 Operating System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor T Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm no professional in any sense of the matter, but that seems like lots of httpd processes. What is your min/max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWeb Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm not a professional either and have no idea how to check whats the min/max. :( This is my first VPS, I'm normally on shared servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWeb Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Does anyone know what "/admin/sources/classes/itemmarking/classItemMarking.php" is used for? My host said this is eating up a lot of my resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 classItemMarking.php is used for marking items (topics/messages/etc) as read. I know a lot of people around here have got great help from Gary. You might want to contact him and get a quote to optimize your VPS for IPB use. You might have services running that you may not need. I see you have a mail server running. On my VPS, that combined with the virus/spam checker was "the nail in the coffin". Used way to much resources. I changed to Google Apps instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWeb Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks for the tip! Do you know if it's safe to disable "exim"? Would my forum still be able to send registration emails if I disable this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robulosity2 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks for the tip! Do you know if it's safe to disable "exim"? Would my forum still be able to send registration emails if I disable this? No, Exim is your SMTP Engine so your server would not receive or send traffic on port 25 if you stop this service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWeb Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up for me. I disabled a good amount of things running on cpanel and it does seem to had helped a lot. I'm still getting lag spike, but been reduced a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
