Server/ Optimization
Apr 18, 2007
i am having quite problem with my server i cant get it to optimize it. During peak times the load goes beyond 10 sometimes 20 to 50 sometimes its just under 1. I have my webserver running on P4 Core 2 6300, 1 GB ram, 250 HDD, on CentOS 4.4 (kernel 2.6.9-42.0.10) etc. It has cpanel/whm running Apache 1.3.7, php 4.4, mysql 4.1, mailscanner, eaccelerator, etc i dont know really what other info to show you.
I host about 200 accounts and there are 4 large php forums (not like WHT) running on it. Sometimes pages stop loading especially these forums have to refresh to get page load.
During day there are approx 700-900 connections.
Previously i had phpsuexec and the load never went beyond 4-5, i have removed it to install eaccelerator.
Here are my configurations

I just got new server:
2.0 GHz, Xeon 5405 (Harpertown) (Quad Core) with CentOS 5 installed. It has 4 gigs of RAM.
I would like to optimize it for php/mysql based forum.
Any suggestions on how to tweak my.cnf or httpd.conf or anything else. My main goal is to optimize it for php/mysql.
I understand I can leave everything the way it is, but I would rather optimize my server, if I can.
Like should I install some kind of memory cache and if yes, which one? Should I edit default settings of PHP?

I hope some of you folks could give me some pointers here. I have a server that is used for a gaming clan's purposes. Nothing major as far as games go, but what I got I want running at peak efficiency.
The most important is the Counter-Strike source. I really need the kernel frequency to be tweaked for this. The number one question is can I merely modify the existing config file and recompile that or do I need to start all over? If I could do that is it something like make old or something to that matter?
I am running a couple other servers as well, but there is never a time where all the servers have anyone in them. I keep everything running. After installing some weird stuffs here and there I got the memory usage to go down. I think. Regarding a scenario of having more than one instance of a game, is there any way to share memory between them?
My Swap. Is there a way to force idling games to move to it instead of using physical memory?
The kernel is what I really need to take care of. I'm still somewhat of a n00b and have just switched from centos to debian to top it off. So any tips would make my day. Thanks for reading me.

Hi"Optimization of computing resources has long been an important management issue. One of its aspects concerns server scalability and the question of whether an organization should scale-up or scale out.Assume that the computing performance of the servers can be measured by variable 0 <=p, that their total cost is given by "c" and the relationship between server performance and cost is defined by c=αp^β"
a. What is the cost-performance elasticity(ђ), precisely?
b. What would be the range of values for ђ that would be expected by moore's law and what are its implications?
c. What would be the range of values for ђ that would lead managers to scale-out? Draw a graph and throughly explain the implications.

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.

I have purchased a proxy website using phproxy script hosted at dedicated server. Its now about 4 months and everything is fine but i want to move my site to another dedicated server provider because current one has some issues.
When i purchased that site seller told me that he has optimized server and installed some scripts {server scripts} to get best out of proxy website. Now seller is out of my contact.
I am very much pleased with current server settings but i need to move. So i want to make sure that i can optimize new server and install same scripts to keep going with current performance.
I only know about http.conf settings and i have noted it ... plz help me about copying every other settings which that guy had done to optimize the server and how can i know which and where those scripts are installed which has made server quite efficient?

Can anyone recommend a good company or someone that would be able to optimize Apache and MySQL on my server? I've slightly configured Apache so that it works well with my server so I'm mainly looking for someone to optimize MySQL (since it's using a lot of cpu).
The server load is pretty high so I'm hoping to reduce it before having to upgrade to a new server.

I currently have a server for proxy websites only.
I have disabled MySQL, is that ok?
Will my statistics software still work (awstats)?
What else can i disable or do to optimize the server for proxy websites.
I'm using the phproxy scripts.

I'm sure by now most of you have read the Web Server Optimization Guide by Shaw Networks. It came in handy for me when I was first starting out, I reduced my load & memory usage by tonnes. I thought I would make a new thread with an updated How-To.
Recommended Tools/Programs:
Putty - Free SSH Client - [url]
WinSCP - Free SFTP and SCP Client - [url]
MySQL Optimization:
BACKUP:
cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.backup
Use Pico (pico /etc/my.cnf) or Download via WinSCP for editing,
Delete everything that is currently in the file and add the following...
Code:
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-locking
skip-innodb
query_cache_limit=8M
query_cache_size=256M

HTTP/APACHE Optimization:
BACKUP:
cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.backup
Use Pico (pico /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf) or Download via WinSCP for editing,
Change the following settings in your httpd.conf...
Set "Timeout" value to "Timeout 60"
Set "KeepAlive" to "KeepAlive on"
Set "KeepAliveTimeout" to "KeepAliveTimeout 3"
Set "MinSpareServers" to "MinSpareServers 16"
Set "MaxSpareServers" to "MaxSpareServers 32"
Set "MaxRequestsPerChild" to "MaxRequestsPerChild 256"
Set "HostnameLookups" to "HostnameLookups Off"
Note:
These settings will not work under all server environments its recommended that you tweak around with the numbers until your web server is running 100% please read Apache documentation before changing any settings so you know what you are changing [url]
To Save: CTRL-X
Restart Service: "service httpd restart" or "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart"
Installing eAccelerator:
eAccelerator is a further development from mmcache PHP Accelerator & Encoder. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. [url]
If you run CPanel please visit [url] for an auto-installer which will do all the hard work for you.
Run the following in SSH.
Code:
cd /
mkdir ea
cd ea
wget [url]

I have a fairly high end server in which I have installed SIM. SIM is restarting Apache up to 10 times a day, presumably due to high load causing un-availability.
On restart, Apache / MYSQL is stable until the load / mem usage begins to climb then it is restarted again. Here are my 'load' stats for today:
Load for today
High (2:18am): 4.63
Low (3:30am): 1.20
Mean: 1.84
Latest: 1.61
Mem usage for today
High (1:36am): 9,192.9 MB
Low (1:48am): 7,995.7 MB
Mean: 8,683.1 MB
Latest: 8,781.7 MB
I have seen it using 20GB RAM before.
I have tried to follow various optimisation guides but these seem tailored to less powerful servers.
The web application I run on this server is almost entirely MYSQL based, with thousands of DB calls a day. Across the entire system I probably get 200,000 bot hits per day or even more. At peak times search engine bots are literally hammering the server.
My server specs are:
# Processor: Quad-Core Xeon Processor * 8
# CPU Speed: 3Ghz
# RAM: 32 GB DDR2
# HDD: 36 GB 15k Raptor X2 + 1TB Sata
# OS: 32Bit CentOS
Changes / optimisation of the actual application is not possible.
My configuration files are:
My.cnf ....

I'm currently in the process of installing a mysql database server on my dedicated game server box. I was using shared hosting before, but i got a complaint from them that i was using too many connections and memory so i have to host the database myself.
Here's the stats of the server:
Dual Core Dual CPU Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz (2 core per cpu & 2 cpu's)
4GB RAM
120GB SATAII Hard Drive
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (180 Day Trial)
Currently, im hosting around 10 game servers on the machine with around 30% CPU load. I'm running with the page file disabled (its using 2 GB of RAM instead). Server runs fine like this (i heard its a performance boost, and it is). Over 2GB of ram are free at all times even when most of the game servers are full.
I want the database server to be able to as many connections are need from the game servers but at the same time i dont want to affect performance of the game servers. Any suggestions on what settings i should use?
I'm currently using these settings:
key_buffer = 512M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 512
sort_buffer_size = 1M
net_buffer_length = 8K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 16M
max_connections = 100
query_cache_size = 128MB
query_cache_limit = 4MB
tmp_table_size = 30MB
wait_timeout = 120
P.S. The SQL will have 3 databases (AMXBans, SourceBans, & a RP character db). Everytime a player connects to one of my servers, their information is checked against the database if they are an admin. So in total i have around 126 slots for players to connect on.

We just upgraded to VBulletin 3.6.5, and are experiencing strange behavior. My forums are on a dedicated server, 27,000 users.
We'll be running along fine with loads of .5-2.00, etc. Then suddenly, the loads start climbing to 50, 70, 85+. We've been trying to figure out why. We even went on a different (much more robust) server, still the same result. This only started happening after the upgrade. Restarting the server corrects the problem, but only until it happens again. It can happen at anytime - during peak or off peak. The server may run for an hour or two until this happens, or it can happen 10 minutes after a restart.
Late last night when loads were normal we benched the server hard, and it ran just fine. We just can't figure out where this load spike is coming from.

I hosted users files on a xfs partition.
I use SATA II disks, and sometimes load is increased when ftp activity is intensive.
Drive where users files are hosted returns values like
hdparm -Tt /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads: 5050 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2528.72 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 3.30 seconds = 1.21 MB/sec
I noticed a load increase specially when I delete a directory with many small files.
ways to optimyze a xfs partition?

currently im on a VPS server and things are fine normally. However whenever there are like 20 users on my site (browser based text game) things get ugly. The sql queries are all needed and don't think it can get much more effiecent.
Anyways my website is very dynamic all information is changing every second.
For example a user when every page they go to or refresh their account is being set to time() to show that they are online at that second. Processor load gets up to like 6 at times and that is when it is virtually impossible to connect to the site.
Is there anythign you recommend? mysql is the top then when i login via ssh and run 'top'

Well, I decided giving it a shot.
I have a large proxy, are getting ~3k pageviews/day.
I only got 128 MB RAM on my VPS, so no panels works on it (not even kloxo/lxa). I would guess apache wont do it in the long run either.
So I decided to go with nginx. But I feel it isn't quite good optimized, as it sometimes takes like 1 minute to load the page.
Here is my current config:

I'm looking to get some tips to optimize my Apache webservers. Now i have 2 apache servers with load balancer. If someone can guide me and bring some tips for this purpose is highly appreciated.
Also, i would like to know about disadvantages of enabling KeepAlive. Recently i have enabled it and found my site load much better. But the disadvantage (that i experienced personally) is after stop browsing for a while (about 40-60 minutes) i need to keep triggering the URL of site several times to get enter the website. If not i can't get into it and it likes the site giving no response at all.

I am switching from shared hosting to managed VPS. I have minimal knowledge of UNIX/Apache, pretty good with PHP and programming in general.
So, what I have now is my VPS, with 512mb of ram, CentOS, cpanel and my two sites, not live yet, that is, I haven't changed dns records in the registrar.
I want to try to optimize the box or whatever is the correct name for it and understand the whole thing better. Mainly to learn more, I dot' think I'll be pressed for memory or bandwidth for now. Still, at least knowing things I can optimize for speed of space.
Few things that I assume should allow for some simplification and RAM savings(hopefully) is that:
a) Both sites are hobby sites, not very big load. Few thousand visitors a day. Traffic is around 10gb monthly combined.
b) Both sites are mine, nobody else on that box, so I don't have to worry about customers screwing things up and caging things internally.
Based on that, I don't really need email for the second site domain.
When I run top command I see 2 exim processes running. Is that normal, or is it because I have 2 domains registered there? And if yes can one be disabled?
Same applies to pop3-login and imap-login processes, 2 copies of each. Can I have just one of each, i.e. exim, pop3-login and imap-login?
Next, I selected not to run log analyzer cpanellogd for 21 hours, i.e. it'll run for 3 hours a day. I assume that should be sufficient for the site like mine?
I did read sticky about securing the site and quite a bit about Apache/mysql optimizations.

I've got a VPS server with a total process limit of 100 process.
I know this sounds like a newbie question, what numbers would you recommend for the Apache 2 Conf file to get it running as best as possible without it taking the server down?

My troubles started about a month ago, on a Windows 2003 VPS (clean, no plesk/cpanel):
Every ting worked fine until, for no obvious reason, IIS started to consume too much memory, I tried separating sites (two) in separate application pools, adjusting recycle triggers - nothing worked, sooner or later worker processes would use too much memory and fail, only way to fix the problem was to restart it.
At this point I would like to mention that:
- MySQL is optimized for low memory usage (and task manager never said otherwise)
- PHP is limited to 20MB RAM, only few modules were enabled
- the only other application running is WinDNS, and it doesn't seam RAM hungry
So a few days ago I decided to kill IIS/app server role altogether and install apache, something I should have done long time ago.
Everything went smooth, VPS performance dramatically increased, memory usage was negotiable... at first.
As time goes by, apache consumed more memory (httpd.exe comes to about 80MB in 12 hours), it doesn't seam to be dependant on site traffic, and it doesn't drop, server didn't fail once yet and I have apache on scheduled graceful restarts every 24hrs.
I didn't try setting a MaxRequestsPerChild value, I'll keep that as a last option because I really want to get to the bottom of this
So... I suspect it could be PHP, the only thing that's common in both scenarios. I did upgrade to the latest version during Apache installation though.
VPS:
256MB RAM
Win 2003
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.3
MySQL 5.0
What could be causing this "leak"?

if using the Internap FCP technology to optimize the routing. I want a feedback on it, since I want to deploy this solution for have a better traffict routing.
Also, is anyone using avaya? i have looked in their website, but I have no information about their routing optimizer. Basically I want to go beyond of normal BGP since I will be deploying VoIP services soon.

for info about MySQL's Enterprise Monitoring and Advisory Service
SLOW QUERIES
Current long_query_time = 5 sec.
You have 0 out of 1028694 that take longer than 5 sec. to complete
The slow query log is NOT enabled.
Your long_query_time seems to be fine
WORKER THREADS
Current thread_cache_size = 256
Current threads_cached = 3
Current threads_per_sec = 0
Historic threads_per_sec = 0
Your thread_cache_size is fine
MAX CONNECTIONS
Current max_connections = 1000
Current threads_connected = 1
Historic max_used_connections = 4
The number of used connections is 0% of the configured maximum.
You are using less than 10% of your configured max_connections.
Lowering max_connections could help to avoid an over-allocation of memory
See "MEMORY USAGE" section to make sure you are not over-allocating
MEMORY USAGE
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 243 M
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 41 G
Configured Max Global Buffers : 75 M
Configured Max Memory Limit : 41 G
Physical Memory : 1.90 G
Max memory limit exceeds 90% of physical memory
KEY BUFFER
Current MyISAM index space = 12 M
Current key_buffer_size = 1 M
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 14581
Key buffer fill ratio = 44.00 %
Your key_buffer_size seems to be too high.
Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere
QUERY CACHE
Query cache is enabled
Current query_cache_size = 64 M
Current query_cache_used = 5 M
Current query_cache_limit = 64 M
Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 8.42 %
Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K
Query Cache is 15 % fragmented
Run "FLUSH QUERY CACHE" periodically to defragment the query cache memory
If you have many small queries lower 'query_cache_min_res_unit' to reduce fragmentation.
Your query_cache_size seems to be too high.
Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere
MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size
SORT OPERATIONS
Current sort_buffer_size = 32 M
Current record/read_rnd_buffer_size = 1020 K
Sort buffer seems to be fine
JOINS
Current join_buffer_size = 3.00 M
You have had 378 queries where a join could not use an index properly
You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes"
Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log.
If you are unable to optimize your queries you may want to increase your
join_buffer_size to accommodate larger joins in one pass.
Note! This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when
ANY joins not using indexes are found.
OPEN FILES LIMIT
Current open_files_limit = 50000 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine
TABLE CACHE
Current table_cache value = 2000 tables
You have a total of 908 tables
You have 102 open tables.
The table_cache value seems to be fine
TEMP TABLES
Current max_heap_table_size = 31 M
Current tmp_table_size = 30 M
Of 3666 temp tables, 0% were created on disk
Created disk tmp tables ratio seems fine
TABLE SCANS
Current read_buffer_size = 5 M
Current table scan ratio = 1544 : 1

I been logging queries for a whole 3 days and my logs is huge and the problem seems to be my phpBB search table thats causing such problems for me heres what I logged
Code:
# Time: 070219 19:41:53
# User@Host: admin_db[admin_db] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 11 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 0 Rows_examined: 13274745
SELECT word_id
FROM phpbb_search_wordmatch
GROUP BY word_id
HAVING COUNT(word_id) > 259756;
Everything from phpbb_search_wordmatch takes more then 11 sec Query time.
How can I optimze this and lower the Query time to something like 1 or 2.
Some adivce would be helpful me not that good with mysql.
