Dear List members, I'm the administrator of a big website that hosts an important forum (VBulletin to be precise). At peak time we get around 7000-9000 concurrent users (counting the php sessions, members visiting the forum) the switch (Foundry) counts 2700 concurrent connections. during those peak times, the apache server (RHEL 4 AS, Apache 1.3, php) gets a load average of 80~170. the mysql server runs smoothly at 0.9 ~ 3. Browsing the Internet / following some optimizations HOWTOs didn't help. Can anyone kindly support me on that issue? Sincerely, -- devnull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <devnull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
