Hi. I've just upgraded to vB3 and the server has also had mysql and php upgraded. Just trying to get the best settings now. You gave me some settings a while ago, but loads has changed since then. Many thanks in advance.
1. Dedicated Server
2. P4 2.0 GHz, 1GB DDR Ram, 2x 80GB IDE HDs non-raid. php 4.3.3, mysqp 4.0.17-standard, Apache 1.3.23 Linux
1. Is this on dedicated or shared virtual server?
Dedicated with EV1.net
2. Your server specs. For example:
Single P4 2GHz
1GB DDR RAM
2x 80GB EIDE non raid
Redhat Linux 7.3 (running Ensim pro)
Apache/IIS version: Apache 1.3.27
PHP version: Php 4.3.3
MySQL version: Mysql 4.0.17-standard
3. If you use mysql 4.x instead of mysql 3.23.x, do you have any innodb type databases/tables on your server?
Pretty sure no.
4. If possible how mysql was compiled/installed
From RPMs

8. Oh and is your vB the only thing on the server? Or other scripts? Sites?
The only items on the server are the vBulletin forums, PhotoPost Pro and a few static pages.
9. How many average and maximum concurrent users are on your vB forums?
In the evening (GMT) there are usually 220+ users. During the day it is rarely below 100 with almost 200 at lunch time. The peek is around 270. During winter months, the forums are busier and constantly growing.
10. Upload phpinfo.php and a link to it from your web site
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/admincp/phpinfo.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
12. Which version of vB are you running?
3.0 RC2 (or latest - whatever that may be)
1. Dedicated Server
2. P4 2.0 GHz, 1GB DDR Ram, 2x 80GB IDE HDs non-raid. php 4.3.3, mysqp 4.0.17-standard, Apache 1.3.23 Linux
