1. Is this on dedicated or shared virual server.
Dedicated
2. your server specs. For example:
cpu speed/type single or dual cpus): Single P4 3.0Ghz
how much memory installed: 1024mb ram
hard drive type/configuration: 60GB SATA non raid
linux distributor or windows version: 2.4.20-021stab028.19.777-enterprise
apache/IIS version: apache 1.3.33
PHP version: php 4.3.10
MySQL version: mysql 4.0.22
3. if you use mysql 4.x instead of mysql 3.23.x, do you have any innodb type databases/tables on your server ?
No (Well, atleast not what i know of, it is set to DISABLED)
4. if possible how mysql was compiled/installed
Dunno (Likely through cpanel, but not certain about that)
5. your top stats

8. is your vB the only thing on the server? or other scripts & sites which utilise php and mysql?
vBa CMPS
vBa Gallery
Numerous vB hacks
9. how many average and max concurrent users on your vB forum ? and what your cookie timeout is ?
Average: 100-150
Max: 300-350
Timeout: 900
10. create a file named phpinfo.php and place this code in it and post the url/link to it from your web site.
Here (http://www.entropiaforum.com/info.php)
11. if you run Apache and you have your own dedicated server or access to your httpd.conf (apache configuration file) can you post the values you have set for the following :
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5
MaxClients 150
AND Maxrequestsperchild value = 0
12. what version of vB are you running ?
3.0.5 (patched with all security updates up to 3.0.9)
13. check to see if any files i.e. apache log files are hitting 2GB or 4GB max file size limits
None
Dedicated
2. your server specs. For example:
cpu speed/type single or dual cpus): Single P4 3.0Ghz
how much memory installed: 1024mb ram
