    Wow! What's your hardware on that one box? IBM 690 series? If it's an x86 based Linux box I would LOVE to chat with you about configuration tips. Our box (specs in sig) seems to really hit the wall about 500-600 users online.

      We actually have slightly less hardware than you. We have dual 933's with 1.5 gigs of RAM. 2 18 gig scsi's one for the database and one for everything else. I do think having the seperate drive for the database helps a lot.
      As far as configuration talk to Eva2000 he did a most excellent job tuning the server.

        *scratches head* ... how the heck is one box able to handle that load? What kind of loads do you typically have? You're running on Linux right?

        I don't think the disk subsystem is the limiting factor whatsoever for us. All the metrics point to simply running out of physical memory and hitting swap. Disk I/O is always < 10%.

          hardware is one factor, the other is how your OS, apache and PHP/MySQL are compiled -> http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/i/Linux.html

            Yes we are on Linux...
            We have load limiters set to kick in at 17. Search shuts off at 5.

                Yes it's over on v-bulletin.org. It helped us a TON, it's the only way we can have search on at all.

                    I just spent the last 1/2 hour looking for that search hack you mention alexi, but can't find it. Happen to have a URL?

                      I just PM'd Firefly today, I can't get in to vbulletin.org at all! As soon as I get back in I am pretty sure I can find it again.

                        Thanks ... you don't remember what the hack was called do you? So I can search better. Was it a full release?
