I was having issues with what I would like to think as power.
Now, I was wondering if there are any SQL database benchmarks, or something else I can run on the system for a given period of time, that will let me see if I'm still having those power issues.
Is there a website/tool/software I can use for testing my web server performance?. I need a server based solution because I don't have enough bandwith to run it from my pc.

I currently have a Zone VPS, and have looked using http_load, or siege from it, but they don't appear to be anywhere near as full featured ad WAPT.
I need to run the tests against both a corportate website to see what our current capacity is, and want to make sure I am not bandwidth limited, as would be the case if I was testing via a T1 or DSL connection, hence the reason for wanting a Windows VPS on a thick pipe that I can run the tests on.
i've only ever used pings to test if a host is up or down.
But what other information am i looking for in ping tests. For e.g., the time in ms the TTL etc etc?
How can i test pinging my server from different locations around the world?
Anyone know of a link where I can compare/find cpu benchmarks for a wide variety of CPU's
example.
Xeon 3.2 VS Core2Duo
I have seen a link on these forums for a website that compares benchmarks/power of servers, and ranks them in order from best performance to worst performance. Does anyone have the link for it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have published 2 articles about MySQL benchmark results. They can be viewed here:
- super-smack: [url]
- sql-bench: [url]
If you have any results to compare, please let me know, either here or via comments.
if anyone knows some good sites for benchmark and reviews of VPS servers?
I remember realmetrics.com use to have nice benchmarking but they don't anymore.
If there aren't any great sites, I am thinking about making my own where I would run a series of automated benchmarks with uptime, network speed, support, etc.
if there are any benchmarks or standards for SQL servers, i.e. hits/requests verus RAM verus CPU verus bandwidth, etc.

1. PHP/MySQL. Pages are created by query (on the fly).
2. HTML. Pages created and placed on server's HDD as plain .html files.
3. SHTML. Pages are created by query (on the fly), but from 3 HTML parts (one header for all files, unique body, one bottom for all files). So, I can save some HDD space.
I'm looking for some kind of benchmark. I'd like to know what is CPU load and memory usage difference between this methods.
I am planning to change my shared server web host. As part of my evaluation, I want to test the speed of web hosts I'm considering switching to. I've looked but could not find any reliable data for speed. So, I want to create my own data.
Based on some specific requirements, I have chosen the following finalists: ANhosting/Midphase, Hostgator, IXWebhosting, and Websitesource. If you have a website that uses one of these hosts,
I think a good way of doing a fair, accurate speed comparison is for 2 or 3 customers of each web host to place a 20MB file on their website. I will then download the file from each customer site during a high-traffic time of day. I will then report the results here.
This forum doesn't allow urls for the file to download, I think, but I hope it is allowed to put the URL for the download into an attachment, enclosed...
I anticipate that other webhosts that are reading this will want to participate. I welcome this, so here are some key features I need: php/linux, add at least 3 dedicated IPs to one account (could be extra fee), at least 20 addon domains on one acct., catchall/default email, shared ssl.
I want to know if there is a set of tools or a linux distro that I can use to create several Virtual Machines and make them use up all their allocated Memory/CPU to the max to see how much the VPS Node will hold.
I do this on Windows easily as I overclock my PC at home. But in linux, no idea. I need something that will do iterations like Prime95 or SuperPI.
I've been playing with hyperVM lately and was wondering what tools all you computer geeks use to stress test your VPSes.
Right now I'm testing out Xen VPSes, Linux AND Windows.
Can some people recommend some tools to stress test reliability of the VPSes on both linux and windows?
Windows seems a little flaky to me on Xen unless I'm doing something wrong.
Stress tests based on a hosting environment would be perfect.
regarding the server configuration and my application design I would like to do some stress tests that show me the number of requests the server can handle on my website.
I have tried JMeter but I can't find how to get such a statistic.
Was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of stress testing a site? We have a PHP application (Apache + Mysql) that searches a database and displays a screen of results.
Each screen is different per user. We might have something like a few thousand people at any one time coming to the site and using it, so I was wondering how people normally go about testing for load, cpu, memory usage etc?
I was just curious as to whether anyone has ever came across a situation where your monthly bandwidth/transfer quota is being consumed at an exponential rate without any increase of traffic to the site?
My current situation is this.
I have an account 2mhost and a monthly bandwidth transfer quota of 100,000 MB. For the past few months it's been steadily growing. When I first transfered the site to this host their cheapest package quota wasnt sufficient and I ended up with a bandwidth overage error page on my site, so I had to upgrade. In doing so I've always ended the month just shy of 80% total quota.
My problem is that it's only the 17th, and a few days ago i was at about 32%, now im at 51% with no increase of pageviews. Looking into awestats shows the alexandria2.2mhost.com using 30 gigs!! I questioned the tech support via live chat and they said it was wordpress accessing the images. So I downloaded the raw access logs and noticed that Every few seconds the server ip would make a request to a dozen or so images, each image being requested 3 times.
here's a portion of the log: ....
I have in my possession a new server which is running cPanel. For some unknown reason it keeps crashing about every 4-6 hours where I must get a remote reboot done.
Its starting to annoy me that I'm unable connect to anything. What I suspect is high disk red/write. As what I'm finding is over 10k blocks being written per second with only 300 being read per second. I also am not seeing any bandwidth out/in usage being high.
I am wanting to get access to 'top -c' for a period of 48/72 hours.
Now I have found the following
Code:
top -c -b -d 15 > top.txt
What this does is every 15 seconds add reply 'top -c' to top.txt
Now I can make this into a shell script then put it into the background and exit SSH while leaving it running.
Now the question is will this use much usage/server load over the 48/72hrs, it will be checking 4 times every minute.
I thought i'd just post a quick message on here to see what you guys make of this situation. It's only happened with what, the past hour or so, but when i check the visitor logs on our website it seems that a "YouMonitor.us" is constantly spamming connections to the website over 1 second intervals (even less than that in some cases).
Furthermore, its coming in from different IP address's all the time and therefore its inappropriate to block everyone as they seem to just constantly change.
Today i was informed that some of Apache instances are vulnerable for serving content while client is constantly pressing F5 button in browsers - once is pressed CPU load is increasing, page became slow etc. (it's dynamic content served by back-end Tomcats). In the same time i see errors with connection between Apache and Tomcats' instances.
Is there any good way to protect Apache against it ?
My server is constantly crashing (halting to dead) and needing reboot literally every few hours. I cannot trace the cause of this whatsoever. Please help out.
CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage shows no accounts in red or yellow zone ....
I have a dedicated RHEL server with cPanel and my server loads spikes about +0.4 (out of 2.0) for about 30 mins every 4-6 hours or so. My regular server load is 0.01, because there is barely any traffic on the server yet, but by looking at my top processes in WHM, I can see that the processes that are spiking the Server Load when it is high, is something like:
sshd: [priv] root
sshd: [priv] root
sshd: [priv] root
sshd: [accepted]
sshd: [priv] games
sshd: [priv] news
sshd: [priv] root
sshd: [priv] root
sshd: [accepted]
...something along these lines. And a lot of times there are 10-20 of these sshd processes at one time.
My server is managed and my dedicated server engineer said it was probably a bot trying passwords. He took one of the IP's, said it was from Taiwan, and blocked that IP in iptables.
However, this is still happening constantly with different IP's. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I'm the only person (and my host) who should be able to login to my server using SSH... however, I don't have a static IP and I work from multiple locations, so only allowing certain IP's won't work for me.
First off, is this normal? Or am I being attacked or what? What can I do to remedy this? It seems the bots haven't successfully logged in, but they are spiking my server load which is NOT what I want.
I keep seeing sa login failure on Event viewer Application log for MS SQL 2005. I'm tired of blocking off the failed attempt ip. A huge portion of them seem to come from China and Estern Euro. Should i just block off those region? Is there a better way for securing SQL2005?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe first noticed the issue on July 19th, Backups were taking a while to transfer from our own servers, and we were getting tickets from clients asking why this was happening. At the same time, it took about 4-5 minutes to log into the backup console. Issue seemed to correct itself so that backups were possible, and we assumed that scott would be aware of it and would work to resolve it.
Again on the 29th it slowed completely again. We immediately dispatched an email to their support email asking whats up, gave them detailed information such as access to the script and the output so he could monitor it.
The same day a few hours later we got a response that he would run the script and monitor it.
On the 31st, after not getting an update I asked what was going on. He said he ran the script, it seemed to stall for long periods of time and he would know more in the afternoon.
After not getting an update for ~5 days I asked what was going on and I expressed that i was not happy with the lack of communication/updates ont he situation. He updated me later that day saying that we weren't the only ones being affected. Fair enough, he is working on it. Thats all I wanted to hear.
Now ever since that email I received on the 5th (AUG) it has been up and down and all over the place.
After seeing him post on the forums I sent him a PM (10th August), summed up it was basically saying I had an issue, and I need it fixed. I figured since the PM system is usually pretty good at not losing them that he would see it and respond accordingly, that way there was no chance of it being lost from point A to point B as an email.
Well to this day, no response nor resolution.
I really have exhausted all points of communication, and I want to make it clear that I am not bashing them, when it works it's great. But maybe someone else affected can provide more insight..
Not sure why, but for some reason lately our Plesk installation randomly sends us notification emails about alarm level changes which go from Green to yellow, yellow to red, then goes back to normal over time. No changes were made on the server for these constant changes and emails to occur. We have a customer who also has the same issue.. Both focus primarily on nginx with little to no usage of apache.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis problem has been reported before Plesk Panel 11. What's the current solution for this problem? I've got this problem since I upgraded to Plesk Panel 11.09.
I'm getting spammed with emails like:
Server health parameter "Services > Apache memory usage" changed its status from "green" to "yellow". Click to expand...
I had Plesk 10 installed on my openSUSE system (was a low version, maybe 11 or less) and then decided to upgrade to 11.5. So I did distribution upgrades to openSUSE 12.3 and everything went smoothly, except for some services like mysql and php. So I used Plesk autoinstaller to fix the php error and edited an outdated line in mysql configuration and both services ran smoothly!
Then I downloaded Plesk autoinstaller and ran the autoinstaller, but was surprised by this error message:
===> Checking for previous installation ... found.

Unable to connect to database:
- My MySQL version is: 5.5.33 openSUSE package
- I did run mysql_upgrade with my admin username and password (password from: /etc/psa/.psa.shadow) and it worked successfully and fixed all of the errors, I did so after running the auto installer first, but then ran the installer again and the problem was still there
- I can access my web page, but it still doesn't connect to MySQL either.
I believe this is a problem with MySQL, but how can I make sure or detect what exactly the problem is
I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.
Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.
