UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support Serve overloads --- site slows down or server goes down

I have an issue with my linux server.

Linux Fedora, Ensim

I am experiencing a server over-load problem. My ubb.classic version 6.5 has run a similar server for 4 years. I have around 220,000 posts and get around 1300 uniuqes/day.

I just changed it to this new server and it seems pages load 20 minutes if I don't disable ultimatebb.cgi.


This dedicated server should be enough for this site and couple of small non-database sites.

P4, 512RAM, Fedora, Ensim, 80GB harddrive.

I don't know what is causing this issue.

Can someone theorize what they thing the problem is?

What kinda hard drive? IDE? SCSI?

Could be either data throughput needing a bigger pipe, or something as simple as more ram. Make sure caching is turned on and the ubb accelerator - what's your cache hit percentage?

There's an issue somewhere tho, in looking at your stats again - your server should easily handle the load there - I'd check to see if the webhosts see an issue on their end.
