Slow isn't a word to describe it....

[AMG]

www.pokemasters.net/forum is a vB that I am trying to help get setup for a friend.

It all works but is dramatically slower than the current UBB and thats an insult :(

Its setup on Cobalt RAQ3 256Ram but it is still slow. The UBB is costing way too much so he wanted to cost and get a vB.

I heard vB was faster but not this one. It Is vB 1.1.5 and it just isn't running nearly as fast as it should. The UBB smokes it.

Please Look it over and see what we may need to do?

I used to be there. From what I've been reading on this site and a few sites, a Cobalt isn't strong enough for MySQL...

I just recently upgraded my server from 256MB/500Mhz to 512MB/700Mhz and it's a HUGE different. My old server would crash 6 times a day. I got my new server and it hasn't gone down yet. {KNOCK ON WOOD}

I have about 100 - 150 people on at a time pretty much all day.

Do a search for a username called eva2000. He and this other moderator Chris know the ins and outs of configuring MySQL for better optizimization.

hey ibeblunt i am sorta of back now :)

Pokemasters.com been to that site before last year :D

anyway how many sites are on the same server for the forum ? i visited that vB and i was the only guest = 1 person and it loaded kinda slow for me as well..

this ain't silly, but the first thing you could do is read my sig ... especially the mysql optimisation post as well as get the extended-status script in my sig and get it on the server and let's see how mysql is doing

what mysql you are using - i assume mysql 3.22.32 with php 4.03pl ?
