Technical Question Related to VNNF Performance
The forum is back up, but timing out too often.
We are trying to establish the reason for this. The apache webserver software is spiking in memory usage, specifically in the privvmpages. If you have an idea how to solve this, let us know. Thanks. |

There is so much I don't know about your system but what is happening to me, having to reload/refresh is a common event when the MaxClient setting is not configured correctly. This is a common setting and I'm sure your people have done this but just double checking......

I will have a guess, that the webserver is trafficking each posters set of PM's (Private Messages) for every client request.
Try to find out whether you can toggle the sendPM setting within VB (as its most likely the problem is with the setup of the V-Bulletin Software), otherwise you will have to look at the Apache Server. Last edited by AlbionMP; January 18th, 2008 at 06:53 PM. |

I'll post some things I find online. Maybe this will be helpful.

This thread is not for such posts Richard. We've all lost rep points. Please stay out of this thread unless you have information specifically related to the question that Alex asked.

Yes, there is a lot of good info on the World Wide Web....
Without knowing more about the system it's hard to pinpoint which tweak you need. Varg should be able to find something out there that will fix it, I have confidence in him. Heck, he's almost as smart as me...... |

You need to use a PHP Cache so that the server does not need to recompile the same script every time. Install this: http://pecl.php.net/package/APC |

Not sure if this is helpful but maybe there's some to be gleaned here. These are from support forums.

Most likely you do not have MySQL Cache enabled. By default its off.

Do you have innodb running, if so it will suck up a ton of memory.

no innodb is disabled..
we used a php cache program -- eAccelerator.. it didnt help the problem we're having though.. Have changed values of MaxClients / etc in Apache.. Apache isnt even the thing using all the memory.. Me and Dietrich just stopped both apache and mysqld .. with just apache running the memory was fine, but when starting mysqld it ate it all.... I think it has to do with VNNF's database being 1gig in size and us only have 256mb ram with 500 burstable |

Glad to know its not me - 98% of the time when I try to go to a different page I get Proxy Error and have to keep hitting refresh to get the page to come up and that works about 70% of the time ...

Yep, 256MB is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too small. With 100+ people connected you are going to need 768MB minimum.

I think they should ditch the old database and see if a new fresh board would run on this VPS at 256 megs.

I think there should be a fund raiser on VNNF to get new equipment. I was under the assumption that server space was being rented, but it appears someone is running a whitebox clone somewhere?

Yup, if the load is too much for the burst to handle, it fails :/
Nothing can solve that, except more burst/less load
