I have a site that is getting 30K+ traffic daily and it is smashing mySQL -
any ideas on what to do to make the mysql connections more efficient, or anything in general. No bandwidth issue here, just the server getting killed. ...I may be wrong but using persistent connections (mysql_pconnect) may
help. Also, optimise your tables and use the explain command to see how efficient your queries are. -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk dynamic web programming from Reigate, Surrey UK (php, mysql, xhtml, css) look out for project karma, our new venture, coming soon!
