I just switched my existing vBulletin to my new bought server and have the problem that when I turn "KeepAlive" to on and "KeepAliveTimeout" to 15 some pages (especially forums front page and message page with WYSIWYG editor) stop while loading somewhere in the middle of the pages. The pages are then loaded after some seconds completely. All pages from forum (not those of photopost) are busy for ~15 sec. after loading. This happens more in Firefox then in IE.
That's why I turned off "keep alive" at the moment -> problems seem to be solved completely.
But I think I could optimize a lot - so please have a deep look:
1. dedicated or shared virtual server.
DEDICATED
2. server specs:
IBM xSeries 235
CPU: SINGLE (!) XEON 3.2 GHz CPU (upgrade to dual next year)
(how to turn on Hyperthreading?!)
Memory: 2GB RAM (upgrade to 4GB next year)
HDD: 3 x 36 GB SCSI 10rpm at RAID5
OS: Fedora Linux 4
(all Apache/PHP/MySQL etc. modules were downloaded/installed from official Fedora servers - these are the most actual compiled packages available for Fedora)
apache/IIS version: 2.0.54 (Fedora)
PHP version: 5.0.4 (Fedora)
MySQL version: 4.1.14 (Fedora)
eAccalerator: not available as compiled version for Fedora, so not installed yet
3. do you have any innodb type databases/tables on your server ?
phpmyadmin says type MylSAM for all tables - is that the correct answer?
4. if possible how mysql was compiled/installed
automatic install/upgrade from Fedora servers, no compilation by ourself

8. is your vB the only thing on the server?
No, I use PhotoPost 4.8x too
9. how many average and max concurrent users on your vB forum ? and what your cookie timeout is ?
Average users: 100-130, peeks during season: 250-500 (upto 1000 expected within next year)
900 Seconds session time
10.

12. what version of vB are you running ?
vB 3.0.3 with security patches upto 3.0.10
Update is not immediatly possible because important layout modifications and because for 3.5.x I would have to upgrade PhotoPost too. I never will do this again but wanted to switch to vBAdvanced Gallery (now Photopost too :()
13. check to see if any files i.e. apache log files are hitting 2GB or 4GB max file size limits
There seem to be no such files
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!

12. what version of vB are you running ?
vB 3.0.3 with security patches upto 3.0.10
Update is not immediatly possible because important layout modifications and because for 3.5.x I would have to upgrade PhotoPost too. I never will do this again but wanted to switch to vBAdvanced Gallery (now Photopost too :()
13. check to see if any files i.e. apache log files are hitting 2GB or 4GB max file size limits
There seem to be no such files
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE!
