VB SEO is overloading server

Since I've installed VB SEO, my server has been overloading and crashing. What could be causing this? I use vb 3.6.8

It could be many things, ranging from 'time to upgrade' to tweaking some settings.

have a look here: vBSEO Optimization Tips


What kind of hardware are you on, and what's your forums' stats?
posts:
users:
avg users online (20 min default cookie):
max users online (same 20 min cookie):



paste in a 'top' command from your server.

Threads: 464,561, Posts: 5,050,855, Members: 48,083
av users: about 600-700 (718 now)
max: never over 800

For hardware I have two dedicated dual xeon servers with 2 gig ram each.

My host is telling me that its all due to the .htaccess. Does this mean that I have to choose between an overloaded server and search engine friendly thread titles? Wouldn't having normal thread titles defeat the entire purpose of VB SEO?

Hello Danny ,

Do you use any php accelerator like xcache ?
Did you also move .htaccess rules to httpd.conf ?

Weird. While I have 1/4 the threads/posts that you do, I have a similar member count and member online count.
I'm running perfectly fine (.6 load) on a single server: dual quadcore 2.0ghz colverton xenon with 2gb of ram.


do you have any stupid long threads? like 10,000 reply threads? I know those cause massive issues due to the paging functions.

I'm not sure. I will check with my admin.

I do have some very long threads yes. Oh and here are the correct server stats:

Server hardware is dual xeon with 4GB RAM and 147GB SCSI HDD in raid 1.

Hello Danny ,

If possible please supply a phpinfo link also. If you are not confident suplying it within this thread please send it via PM or create a support ticket.

No problem. Here is my link

I have to say the support here is outstanding. I think the most likely problem is this httpconfig thing and overnight my server admin will try to make some changes.

Hello Danny ,

Please ask your server admin to upgrade apache 2.2.6 with mod_deflate support on instead of mod_gzip and ask him to use the following settings

Code:

KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000
KeepAliveTimeout 2
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 15
StartServers 10
MaxClients 180
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000

Also ask him to install xCache 1.2.2 as php accelerator

you might want to close those large threads. Just close it and start a 'part 2' thread

I just moved a thread with 192,131 replies to my archive forum(not viewable to members). Think this thread has been causing me server issues?
