Installing Joomla And A Forum On One Database... Will That Run Slow
Dec 9, 2007
Usually I install every single PHP application on a new database. But I was thinking of installing a Joomla website and a SMF forum on one database with different table suffixes. Whether I install them in the same database or a different database, they will still be on the same host.
So does it make any difference to put them in different databases or should I just put them in one database?
The site/forum is for a little WoW guild website and it might get maybe 30ish visitors a day.

I'm promting a new Joomla! website and a new vBulletin forum. The website serves to news articles, some statistics (related to a football club) and also a small photo and video gallery. The forum would have an average of 40-50 online users.
I'm considering to choose the baby package offered by Host Gator. Would that be a good choice?

I'm new to Plesk - I've inherited a web site for a local social club so have just been handed login and password. I believe I have version 11.0.9 and as I can see mention of an Apache webserver I'm guessing its linux.
So - I want to redesign and use Joomla so I can share the content updating with others.
I can't install Joomla as I have PHP 5.1 and need 5.3. I have no 'server' or any sort of option I can find (and I've looked everywhere!) to find a command line or somewhere I can run things.
When I try to allow SSH access the option says Forbidden and there is no option to change it.

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?

Is it possible to make Joomla connect to an external mysql database server?
Meaning, the database for Joomla won't be local, but on another server.
Will it work by just entering the mysql hostname, user and password in Joomla's config?
What issues might arose by doing this?

I am trying to install Joomla on httpme.com but I seem to have problems with it recognising the username/password. Could it be a localhost issue or something?
I just can't seem to get a solution to this. I am referring to step 1 of the Joomla installation.

I moved over a 400mb ish forum database for VBB to another server and ran into
MySQL Error : Duplicate entry '0' for key 1
Which I imagine would have to do with auto incriment? What can I do about this? Is there a way I can bring it over and not hit this? Way to fix it? In the meantime all of the viewers cannot use the forum because I was forced to put it into maintenance mode so that no one can run into errors etc.

I have built a database driven site with PHP & MySQL. Pages download quicker on some connections than other (obviously), however this is not due to connection speed. The web host server seems to respond very slowly to my boss's network (which is on a proxy server). Could it be that this problem is related to the web host? i.e. could it be that the web host is unequipped to deal quickly with this type of network?
On my home connection (2Mbps), pages often download instantly, however occaisionally I have to wait 10-20 seconds to receive the page from the host.
Finally, could you recommend an excellent web host to use with our site? My boss wants to offer a professional service where server response is quick. We are based in the UK.

I am developing an application on a load balanced network.
It is configured as follows:
Webserver1, Webserver 2 (Fedora 5 - Linux, Apache, Zend Opt, PHP)
and a DataBase Server (MySQL)
When the webserver attempt to use the Database server the connections and page output are REALLY slow!
The database server is within the webservers local intranet - so I thought it would be a lot faster.
----------
Here is a quick test: : :
Testing Database Connection on localhost
Connecting to Database... 0.00054502487182617 seconds
SELECT * FROM users... 0.00076389312744141 seconds
Testing Database Connection on '192.168.1.200'
Connecting to Database... 19.998768091202 seconds
SELECT * FROM users... 0.0021719932556152 seconds
20 seconds to connect to the database server...

I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?

I am in charge of making a website for a charter school. Where I stand right now is I am going to use Joomla, and I assume Fantastico. Now where I am still stuck is with a webhost. Every time I locate one that sounds good (editor's picks, and such), I read the feedback comments and find tons of complaints. Can someone recommend one please. Under $10; user friendly; accepts Paypal would be very helpful. I went to get Bluehost, as an example, from some reviews I read, and then I read the feedback section. I don't think I understand the terms enough to make a choice on my own,

I currently have a VPS in the UK that I host my clients joomla sites off and the specs of this VPS server are as below:
- 20 GB SA-SCSI Disk Space
- 350GB bandwidth
- Full root access / Parallels/WHM/cPanel
- 2 Dedicated IPs
- 384 MB SLM RA
I am now running around 10 joomla based sites off of this VPS, 5-6 of which are Ecommerce based sites. Whilst I am probably only using 10gb of the overall disk-space so far, in terms of performance, should I continue to add clients to this server or should I keep the more hungry sites on this server and move some of the less resource intensive non-ecommerce sites to another VPS? Or would it be in my best interest to upgrade to a Dedicated server where I will have all my own resources?

I have a joomla site running on a new unmanaged VPS at FutureHosting.biz and it is performing very poorly.
I am not a server admin but i copy the same CMS and database to a shared account i have access to and the site runs much faster. That shared account happens to be a SiteGround server which if possible, i would like to stay away from.
I have had bad experience with SG so i am contemplating, MidPhase, as an option for VPS support.
I was also considering LunarPages and HostGator but their recent datacenter problems and poor reviews i want to stay away from them as well.
I really want to find a quality host who has experience managing large joomla based sites.

I am going to start a new personal / business website which will feature articles along with pictures and few videos, all managed through Joomla. I recently visited the official Joomla forum and found a thread which posted guidelines on choosing a proper Joomla hosting.
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=95678
3. The most security conscious hosts turn PHP's Register Globals directive OFF by default. The next best allow you to turn it off in local .htaccess or php.ini files. A host that requires you to run a site with Register Globals ON should be avoided. This is true for any PHP enabled site, whether or not you are running Joomla!. There is a legitimate argument to be made by hosts for keeping Register Globals ON for PHP4 sites. This is that it would break too much legacy code. This argument should not be accepted for a PHP5 installation. Beginning with PHP5, the official PHP recommendation was to keep Register Globals is OFF. Note that beginning with PHP6, there will not even be a Register Globals setting, so don't get caught in a Register Globals backwater. Modify your code to work without Register Globals, and choose a host that encourages such practices.
6. Be sure users on your shared server can't view each other's files and databases, for example through shell accounts and cpanels.
7. Choose a host that provides real information about security compromises, rather than simply shutting your site down. Check their user forums for evidence of how they've responded to cracks in the past. A good host may for example, inform you immediately that a security breach has occurred and will quarantine the problem file for you, while leaving it there for further investigation. A poor host will shut your site down and provide very limited information on why. Watch out! All too many do this.
8. Be sure you have access to raw server logs. Reading these logs is a vital part of site security and recovery.
9. Choose a host that limits the number of users per machine and the average CPU load per machine to some reasonable number (depending on hardware). Be sure they proactively move user sites as needed to balance load. Check the number of domains on a server using reverse IP lookup.
10. Choose a host that manages it's own data center. Check the data center infrastructure, such as redundant Internet access, hot swappable backups, full daily backups, environment and access controls, emergency generators, etc.
11. Check that your host is not at risk of having its IP addresses blocked because it hosts porn or SMAM sites.
What alarmed me was #3, #6-#11
My Question is, how the hell am I supposed to check for these flaws? I thought I was going to settle down with Hostgator or Hostmonster, but now I am not sure.
If Hostmonster or Hostgator do not meet these requirement, can someone be kind enough to suggest some?
I don't expect that much of traffic, so I want to keep the budget minimal: below $8. I know that by limiting this budget, I am limiting the quality of hosting, but I am not ready to commit my resource to my first site: just an experimentation of my limits.

I currently have a VPS server and I run a lot of joomla based sites for my clients and having done a bit of research, mediatemple has come up as being a well-recommended hosting provider for joomla based installations in the sense that the servers are all ready and configured for joomla, where chmodding does not need to be done once a joomla installation has been done - something I find very tedious after each joomla install.
Can anyone recommend a Manage VPS provider that would fully support Joomla from the point of when its first installed and its ready to go like I have said above and also be able to keep the joomla sites running optimal performance.

I was a victim/winner due to slashdot yesterday. My site, www.electricalengineer.com runs Joomla hosted through Rackforce's dds-400l package. We thought we were under attack yesterday, but later found it to be the slashdot effect. Anyhow, google analytics show ~5700 visitors. This doesn't seem like it would be enough to slow the server to a halt, but it did. Rackforce suggested that we upgrade to a more powerful package. I'm not sure though that the following should have slowed us down: Dual Quad-Core Xeon
1GB DDR2 ECC 667 RAM
30GB on SAS/SCSI
10Mbps Dedicated Unmetered
anyone else have performance issues with Joomla?

I have a big joomla no profit site on a shared host.
Actually the site has 1500/2000 unique at month with 10.000/12.000 pages at day.
Not to much the consume of bandwith.. we have not viedo or heavy images or audio files.. so we consume 12/13 gb at month.
Probabily in the next month we cold grow for ten times... with 15.000 or more unique at day.
So in this vps must be only one site.
How much much ram could be necessary? 512?
Two things that we use.. Cpanel or Plesk ot manage this site and a daily backup on the server but we need to download a backup even 3 or 4 days in our local pc.

I'm getting ready to upgrade my site to Joomla and am learning all these things about security issues. For example, the register globals on my webserver is turned on and I can't turn it off unless I go to a dedicated server and pay 3X per month of what I'm paying now. And there's other things too about this particular webhost.
Just wondering if anyone can give any input from experience on who is a good webhost for a Joomla site with regards to security, etc.

I have a VPS account that keeps going down. I am on VPS account with 7GB and 128MB/192MB. I have one site running a Joomla manged website. The other site just host pictures, and receive emails. So about a two site for emails. One site for pictures and one Site serving Joomla based website. The control panel is CPANEL/WHM. I asked my provider why this keeps happening and they are stating CPANEL is a memory hog and would recommend I go to there next available plan that has 256MB. My question is does this sound like the memory should be an issue for such a small VPS Server. I plan on adding more sites and possible some E-Commerce. BUt there next plan up seems like it would be to small 12GB 256. I was thinking of ging with GODADDY Vps account.
