Dual Server Setup For Vbulletin Result Slow Load
Oct 12, 2007
I just added a database server in private network and moved the database for Vbulletin Forum to this server.
But some how, the Forum is loading extremely slow compare to before ( when it was on the localhost). Also, Compare to another website on server (using local database) it is much slower.
One thing good is the load is lower
2 servers are connected via 10mbs private link, both servers are at Softlayer.
webserver: Opteron 170, 2GB RAM, 73GB SCSI 15K
database: Quad Xeon 3220, 2GB RAM, 73GB SCSI 15K.

I recently started hosting a large vBulletin forum (14,014 registered users... 30-60 online at a time) on one of my dedicated servers. When there's a lot of activity on the forums, things start getting really slow. There will be like 50 php-cgi processes running. Some users get blank pages, others get this message:
Notice: Undefined variable: errfile in [path]/forums/includes/functions_log_error.php on line 163
Specs of the server are:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
160GB SATA HDD
2GB DDR2 RAM
FreeBSD 6.2 (Hosted at AwkNet)
Could there be any Apache modifications I can make to increase performance, or anything else I could try?

I run a large adult vBulletin community with 70,000 members, 1/2 million posts, 186,000 attachments (a lot video), and closing in on 100 million downloads since our start some odd years ago. I've been battling keeping the site up for quite some time, and I am starting to wonder whether we shot too low on the server setup. I figure I would ask the pros here at WHT for some advice.
This is our current setup:
Site server:
Quote:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
4 Gig ram
250 Gig sata harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.2
Apache
MySQL server:
Quote:
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (2666.62-MHz 686-class CPU)
Cores per package: 4
4 Gig ram
750 Gig SATA harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.4
Apache
Do you think the site would perform better under one server and maybe a more powerful processor? What should I be looking at exactly as far as hardware goes for this type of site. I should note we push about 2.5TB of bandwidth monthly.

If you have experience with large mysql databases please share your thoughts about a new MySQL server. If all other parameters are the same, what is better for a 6-10 GB MySQL db, dedicated server?
Dual XEON or Dual Opteron 2212 Dual Core Processor?
Also, any advice on suggested RAM, partitioning, OS, etc. are welcome. Current MySQL version used is 4.1.21.

I'm about to purchase a 2nd server to be used as a database/app server alongside my current server (of which will be the web server).
I wish to use 2 x 146GB 10K SCSI hard disks (in RAID 1) on the database server, but will be keeping 2 x 320GB SATAII 16M in RAID 1 on the web server. Will the SATA hard disks affect the performance / effectiveness of the SCSI disks or will I benefit from SCSI even though they're only in the database server?
Also, I'm going for 10K hard disks over 15K because they $20 per month cheaper and it's already expensive ($150 p/m for the two 10K or $170 p/m for 2 x 15k). Taking into account the already hefty price, is it worth the extra for 15K?

I dont know much about what could be cuasing this so i come to you for advice, i am currently at wired tree on their VPS384 package with 348MB of ram and my site is really slow to load [url]sometimes it is so embaressing to show people i just dont bother, i am sure this is deferring visitors from my content how can i speed this up?
I can add more ram but it will push the price and if the price goes too high i might aswell move to a Hybrid with wiredtree.

My server gets 300 - 600 concurrent connections to http port 80, has a CPU load of 1 - 2%, has practically all RAM of 1 GB used, is running apache 2 and centos 5.
It tends to get slow and when I ban IPs that use many connections to my server (raping it), it becomes fast again. But soon after that new ******* users come which I again ban and the process repeats itself
I'm starting to think that maybe I just don't have enough RAM to handle them because it seems at least some of those users are legit. I don't however have even that much content that needs to be cached so I'm not sure what good RAM would do but perhaps apache just needs more.

My server has a small load (about 30% of it is being used) and it is still running very slow. When I reboot it runs fast for about 5-10 min, and then it is back to slow. I reported this to hivelocity and the responded with
"
The problem was one of your apache process was pegged out. Restarting apache resolved this issue. If you still have issues check top and run lsof on the process ID that is pegged out."
and after it continued
"It will continur to happen until you isolate the source of the issue and stop it.
The load looked fine just now, so I am not seeing an issue.
What you can do is when it pegs out (simply restarting webserver will get it back up but not resolve) run the following command:
ps -aux
Look through the processes to see what is calling it."
Whn I run ps -aux i see a username on my server. i suspended that username but the problem is still happening.

My machine is pretty good. Here are the specs:
Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5148-DualCore
3 gigs of ram
250GB Western Digital WD Cavia
I run a forum with a modest amount of traffic along with a content management system handling the other sections of the website. I'm pretty sure the forum isn't the problem though.
The server load for this machine is almost never above a 1. Right now as I type this the load is at 0.17, but it's unbearably slow! Taking up to 16 seconds to load a single page.
What could be causing this? I'm a server n00b. Is there a setting I should be doing to one of my servers configuration files to make it run faster?
My website gets 30-40,000 visitors a day and these problems always occur during peak hours. It would be easier to deal with this though if not for the fact that the server load is always so low. How is it possible for the site to get so slow while the server load is always so low?

I am currently hosting my website on one server with the specs:
2.8ghz Dual Quad-Core processor + 8 gigs of ram + two 500 hard drives with a 50 mbps unmetered bandwidth package.
My current problem lies in high server loads and very slow server performance throughout the day.
I am considering migrating over to The Planet onto server with the specs:
3.0ghz Dual Quad-Core + 18 gigs of ram + two 50gb hard drives with 2TB of monthly bandwidth transfer.
In an attempt to have great bandwidth pricing and server performance, I plan on downgrading my current server with my current host to a lowe-end server and keeping it only to host my VIDEO and MUSIC files with the 50mbps unmetered package. The Planet will then host my database and all other web related files on their new server.
Is this a good idea as an attempt to save money in bandwidth costs and eliminating my server lag issues?
I was offered a setup of a separate web and database server at my current host but from what I have read, no one touches the performance and reliability The Planet has to offer.

I've been having trouble with my VPS for a while now. In the QoS alerts page in Virtuozzo it seems to be a problem with numtcpsock and tcprcvbuf, mainly numtcpsock.
Copy these into the browser:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/qosnumtcpsock2.jpg
And when i run cat /proc/user_beancounters:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/beancounters2.jpg
This line is particularly scary:
numtcpsock 164 164 166 166 7321
What do i need to do, to get the website running again? It's only one site on the vps a proxy. So i thought a vps would be able to handle one proxy.

For a Vbulletin forum with up to 200 users online (only) but growing nicely and I want to be set for quite a while:
I am going to use Nginx, XCache, PHP-FPM, FreeBSD, Gzip
Currently using ~55 GB transfer with mod_deflate, all with dynamic traffic, little bits and pieces, no bigger files.
I want to be able to push 500 GB transfer or so this way, or ~ 1000 users online, many searches from non-registered users, too
I am looking at
Q9550, 8GB, 4x73 SAS 10k Raid-10, $200 Webnx
or
i7 920, 12GB, 4x73 SAS 15k Raid-10, $250 Webnx
or
X3220, 8GB, X25-E SSD Intel, $300 Softlayer
Am I too concerned about disk I/O? Should I save some money and settle for a 2xSATA Raid-1.
Databases are < 2GB and would fit into the RAM

I'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?

Don't know if it is some kind of attack or this is normal but the Server load goes reaching 20 in most of the times and may be greater!
this is the mysql_process list
jarabhar_JUHyyuh is opening alot of connections in the same time and this is not the normal behavior ....

I'm having trouble with a new server. It's a dedicated (Q6600 + 8 gig RAM + 4 x 250gig in Raid 10 + Centos 5.3 64bit + Cpanel).
The machine is way overpowered for the traffic going to the site.
The server load is rarely above .10 and often closer to zero.
I'm getting periodic extreme slow downs. Web pages will take 30-60 seconds to load (or longer). SSH will timeout, or if I can connect, it will take seconds (sometimes 10-15 seconds) for key press to register in the SSH terminal. Pop3 times out, etc.
This might last for 15 minutes or 3-4 hours. Then, everything will start running like a champ again. Traceroutes to the server during the slow downs haven't shown a problem between the server and where I am testing from (have connected from multiple proxies and remote sites to eliminate my local internet connection).
I'm looking for any advice on how to trouble shoot this. Hardware? Software? Configuration issue?
It is definitely not a capacity/load issue. There have been no spikes in web traffic. The opposite, this is a very slow time for my site, which is why I moved to a new server in May.

I'm hosting about 6 private websites on my server, and some have problems.
My biggest website is a vb forum with 30.000 members and 1.5 million posts.
When i browse with firefox i see that vb forum loads fast, but phpads which is integrated on the top and footer loads very slow. When i browse with IE, it takes like 10 seconds before the whole site is loaded and sometimes IE even crashes.
When i try to login on another website / admin panel (oscommerce), i get a mysql gone away error, that means timeout. But why does it show that? I ran mysqlreport and can't find anything why it should display mysql gone away.

I can't find any problems on the server which may lead to this strange problem.
The server load is normal, around 1 to 1.5. No weird errors in the apache error log or system log.
This strange behaviour started 2 weeks ago, and appears 2 to 3 time a week.
The system is running:
centos 4.3 64-bit
kernel 2.6.16.17 #1 SMP
directadmin 1.29.0
mysql 5.0.15
php 5.2
apache 2
Zend optimizer 3.2.0
Eaccelerator 1.95
One thing i noticed is that every night when the directadmin cron finished, the server acts normal again.
The directadmin cronjobs are:
* * * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
2 0-23/6 * * * root echo 'action=vacation&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue;

I'm on a dedicated server and the httpd service of the server keeps going down which results in downtime for the number of hours until i dont realise that the site is down.
So when I realise the site is down, I ask the hosting support to look into the issue, they tell me the server loads are high and ask me to upgrade even when I just upgraded the server last month.
Generally the forum has around (250 - 300 members) + guests visitors online and is in the alexa top 20k sites.
The first thing I would want to do is hire a person who specializes in server optimization but then I have heard a lot of bad things like the server admin stealing databases and selling it in open market.
The second thing I wanted to do is contact vbulletin for server optimization but they need me to give them server specs and I dont know how to obtain them.
