I am currently using
Linux OS Kernel 2.4.20-20.9 Apache 1.3.28 Intel Pentium IV 2.4Ghz 512MB DDR
for my forum which has: 2,500 users daily (200 users max at the same time) 300,000 posts
The CPU is so over loaded.
Anyone has any solution for this?
Thanks

You can never have enough memory - so if you are able to up that to 1 or even 2mb it would help - but I would also look at optimizing MySQL and maybe upgrading PHP etc. (not sure what versions you are running) See https://www.ubbdev.com/forum/showflat...5/o/all/fpart/1 for Jeremy's thread on tuning MySQL. Also is this the only site/script on the server - that might be another problem - are you running any other scripts as part of the site to affect the CPU load. What load are you getting?

I would recommend more than 1 or 2mb. I think you need at least 1 or 2 GB For the amount of online users it definately seems that you would want to at least double or triple your current RAM. And what Ian said about upgrading MySQL if you're running 3.X.

RAM is MySQL's best friend Really, at minimum you should have 1GB of ram, and with 200 users online at a time, having more would only be better. RAM is cheap, so that is the best place to upgrade before upgrading elsewhere. Also, what version of MySQL? That is very important as well. If you aren't using version 4.x, you really should consider upgrading as it will increase performance a ton as well bring server loads down.

Hello Ian, Slayer and Jeremy I am using 4.0.14-standard mySQL version. Thanks for the info above. I am going to add another 512MB RAM to try. Would dual proc help? I have 1 box with dual 1Ghz PIII Btw, my website is currently the only one hosted at that machine. Thanks
