LAMP X64 Too Much Memory Requirements
Feb 20, 2008
I have a cople of dedicated servers. Both run the same software, phpBB forums. However, with the top command I see one of them need as much as triple memory for every apache process than the other. Here are the details:
Server 1
Hardaware: Dual Opteron 2212 + 4 GB RAM + 2 SAS 146 GB drives. CentOS5 x64

Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?
Since both use the same version of phpBB and the same version of CentOS5, while the only difference is one is x64 and the other i686, I wonder if this has to do with the way memory is handled by the x64 CentOS5.

I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible.
So, I need another UK host with:
- 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents)
- 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big)
- mysql privs available as above
Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.

I'm currently looking for co-location in the US (preferably West coast) for a 2RU server with a 100mbit port with around 500gb-1TB of bandwidth, with the option to upgrade bandwidth as necessary.
I have two requirements though - first, I need a provider who can do the initial server setup for me. I want to provide them with a blank, empty server and I want them to install the operating system (no control panel), install the relevant software (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Exim) and do an initial server hardening. Obviously expect to pay a higher setup cost for this
Second, I need a provider that does two things - they need to offer dedicated servers as well as co-lo (as I will need a handful of dedicated servers at some point in the future for 2-3 months only), and I need them to be able to place these servers on to a private switch/VLAN so that all bandwidth can be pooled between the servers and used as necessary, rather than having individual port limits. I would probably be looking at needing a 1gbit port in total for these servers (or 100mbit ports to each server). And I need someone that can sustain a data transfer of a few hundred mbits from these servers in terms of their infrastructure and connectivity
So does anyone know of any providers that can offer this? Preferably someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg (but at the same time, not necessarily dirt cheap) for bandwidth, as I will obviously be using a fair bit

we have a site with a lot of traffic around 100.000 visitors and 250.000 pageviews daily, each page is just 30k to 60k , we use mssql server and hit our database with a very simple query ( "select, where, order by" type ), is a small table just 9000 records. What windows vps would you guys recommend me for this kind of traffic? What amount of RAM memory? mssql on the same server or shared? would mssql server 2005 express do the job?

How much does a typical quad core Xeon eat, say an E5410 or a E7320? a 2GB RAM stick? A 500-750GB SATA disk? How much is the system overhead for a 1U unit? I tried to find data on this without too much success. For example Intel says the same number (80W) for an 1.6GHz CPU and a 2.4GHz one -- that does not sound too reliable to me.
If this is too abstract, then I would like to ask aobut the real world power consumption of two boxes. 1 E5410, 8GB of RAM, 2 SATA disk maybe 10K RPM. The other will have two E7320, 24-32GB of RAM and 3 10-15K disk.

with a single server running PHP and MySQL.
What sort of hosting requirements do you think I would need for...
A site with a mysql db with 100,000+ records in a single table and executing simple select statements on the table with 100,000+ records at a rate of 50 queries per second? (All other things should be negligible at this scale).

how to figure out how much power one would need?
My potential colo provider is saying that a 5A circuit comes standard with a 1/4 cabinet and that they charge $20 per amp over that. I will have (6) Dell 1650's with dual 650W PSU's. Any idea how to calculate how much actual power I will need for this configuration?

My question is not purely theoretical. My partners and I are starting a new web hosting company and would like to hear your opinion before we do something completely wrong. Our understanding of the market tells that there are 2 major components of that business: reliability and cost, so we decided to keep cost at the average rate but to bring reliability as high as possible. So our points were as following:
1. Reliable server hardware: IBM/HP/Dell servers only, using redundant hard drives in RAID1, redundant power supplies.
2. Reliable and fast server support: Server vendor provided 7x24 onsite support with 4 hour response
3. Reliable network: Connection to at least 4 major internet providers
4. Reliable power: Dual UPS provide 2 redundant power lines to each server
5. Powerful servers: Dual CPU 4-Core Xeons; up to 32 GB RAM; 750 GB SATA II disks
6. Remote diagnostics and support: Servers equipped with Remote Management interface to diagnose problems and create server support ticket with the server vendor automatically.
7. Reliable datacenter: Toronto Front 151 datacenter provides physical security, fire prevention, network connections, power generators
We will provide VPS hosting and considering SUSE/Virtuozzo as our main virtualization platform. We have not decided yet either to purchase its support through Novell (SUSE distributor) or SWsoft (Virtuozzo vendor).

I'm looking to put 4-6 CoD4 servers on a dedicated server.
What specs would be good for a box for that many servers?
How would a E6600 2.4GHz with 2gb memory do?

I need some help finding a reliable windows host. I haven't hosted on windows in a long time, and I don't know how to choose. These are the specs:
Requirements:
* Windows hosting
* PHP GD library (installed on most hostings)
* Permissions to execute third-party applications (i.e. exe files)
* Permissions to execute Internet Explorer
I've used Jodohost before and they were ok. Also was considering weberz.com, but I don't if either will meet these requirements. Any ideas?

I'm in the (very) early stages of developing a MySpace application and I'm looking for advice on hosting package needs. I've got an extensive software development background, but nothing at all web related, so I really don't know where to begin, and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot from the get-go.
I assume a simple shared hosting package would suffice for development, but I don't know how long or far it would scale, what the upgrade path would be, or what difficulties I'd encounter, so I'm here with this question.
I'd appreciate any suggestions whatsoever on what's key for this kind of application: package type, minimum data transfer, connections, cpu time, OS, database, language support, etc.. That includes any experiences anyone might have had, the host they've used and liked or disliked, or what they offer themselves (if that's allowed on the forum) and so on. Anything at all.

Currently i am running on a Mediatemple DV base VPS that provides me 256MB guaranteed RAM, and a processing speed of appx 190Mhz and is on Virtuozzo.
Currently my site keeps going down and i dont know what to do...
Can anyone please suggest me a better VPS for my site.
My Budget is around 60$.
I checked linode and they are providing 900MB of RAM guaranteed, along with 533Mhz of processing, but the only problem i feel is that they are running on UML.
How good is linode?, anyone used them before, any previous experiences.
how stable is UML?, is it better to have Virtuozzo or UML.
I am actually looking for Xen servers,Can anyone suggest me on Xen?
Vpsland is providing Xen servers, do anyone have any previous experiences with Vpsland,Linode.
Even JaguarPC is providing a VPS for 512MB ram, on vitruozzo or 59$,how good is JaguarPC, any previous experiences...
If you can provide me more services that fall within 60$ and a minimum of 512MB ram,

I have a VPS. And have had an issue both when it was 1Gig and now I recently downgraded it to 768m, because I am moving some sites to a dedicated.
However, the part I am having trouble grasping is that when I look at graphs from Munin, it will typically always show 200-400MB free memory (and free -m and top agrees with munin), but Munin shows 'committed' memory that is above the total Ram on the VPS and once the 'committed' ram exceeds the VPS limit, processes start failing.
So, why is 'committed' memory exceeding the RAM on my VPS, when Munin, free -m and top all show there is free memory available?
Code:
root@server [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 768 449 318 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 449 318
Swap: 0 0 0
Here's a graph that munin produces that shows the 'committed' memory exceeding the total memory.

if anybody is looking into hosting their own TLD with the new ICANN decision? I'm wondering what the requirements would be? And has anybody seen/heard any mention of what the registration fees are likely to be, I know there will be bidding on names in dispute...maybe this will be the case for every worth-while TLD.

I'm trying to come up with a cheap , middle of the road, and high end set of solutions (list of equipment) for in-house hosting of video-casting / audio-casting on a site that can get big spikes of traffic at times. With some particular attention /consideration to the back-end, server requirements/needs. When or at what point does one need a a dedicated server for media? How much bandwidth is needed? how much traffic is a breaking point?

Im trying to host a video sharing site. I have been through 2 hosts that told me they support the files that i need (i.e. flvtool2, mencoder, mplayer, ffmpeg, etc.) Come to find out that they dont. Now i am in need of a new host that supports this. I have researched different ones but to make a decision i need this answer:
For a video sharing site just starting out what is the recommended bandwidth, data transfer, and disk space to run this site? I just want to start small and i will expand if the growth permits it. I just dont want to jump in feet first not knowing the outcome.

I have done some searching here but wasn't able to find what I was looking for, so am making a new post.
I have a client who needs an online training web application. I have done plenty of sites in the past, but none with streaming video so am really unsure what type of hardware this requires. At peak the client expects 50 users watching streaming video at the same time (so lets double it to 100 to be sure). What type of server hardware requirements am I looking at to deliver that content at a good speed with little to no hick ups? Also, is a 100Mbps link good enough?

I'm making the switch from windows to linux for our company web server. We've been running IIS/MySQL/PHP for years and with the OS cost to upgrade the server switching to Linux seems an obvious choice. What frustrates me is that none of the Distros seem very quick to use the latest versions of the AMP components and compiliing from source seems an unnessary hassle. I've tried Ubuntu server so far which has Apache 2.2.9/Mysql 5.0.67/PHP 5.2.6 with no room to easily upgrade any of the components (our WIMP server uses the latest MySQL/PHP).

I'm setting up a VPS server on Slicehost, I've followed the guide on howtoforge for debian and have everything installed including ISPConfig3. Everything seems to work fine at the mo but when I check the memory usage, i see that I'm using around 490/500mb of my 512mb setup. Its a Xen setup so I understand this is real memory available but I'm not sure if this is enough.
I will ultimately be running around a dozen sites, some static and some dynamic. There's one Mambo and one Joomla site there but they don't update. The rest are all php/mysql sites that I've built myself but again, they don't change that much. None of the sites currently see more than a couple hundred uniques a day, and some only a handful, so usage is not high. Most of the domains have e-mail accounts attached, but its only moderate usage with around a dozen addys per domain max.
So, do I need more memory or will 512 be enough? Is there anything I can do to reduce the load and give myself some more room?
I'm moving from a shared hosting environment and while I'm comfortable setting up the server, I would rather have a simple mail manager that would give users more control over their accounts, change passwords etc, which I'm hoping ISPConfig3 will be able to help with, but thats probably best discussed in another post.

Typically, I am looking for LAMP+standard tools, e.g. FTP, SSH, mail, etc.
I tried to create one myself, but the configurator seemed to ignore my specifics and install large groups of stuff anyway.

PHP setup
Apache setup
Preferred Linux Distro
FTP program used
User creation guidelines
Default php.ini settings
Default site settings

We have a spare powerconnect server in work and i was looking to set it up as a web server for a company intranet - more to gain experience in configuring a web server than anything else.
I decided to go with Fedora 8 as i'd used fedora previously and followed the LAMP tutorial on HowToForge.
However i've come across a problem which i just can't seem to resolve (after pretty intensive searching). So, i guess this post is in 2 parts.
Firstly, the error i'm getting is with mysql only. The error message is:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I understand this may be a generic error but i'm not sure what other information would be useful.
Secondly, as this is my first web server - have I made the correct choice in terms of linix release or would something like CentOS be more suitable? I'd like to get this right from the start now that i have the chance.
