Server Overload Problems

Hi, Im having problems with my server because of the VbSEO installation.

This is the message from the support team.

I have investigated your server and some of the processes are overloading your
server, especially the following process are overloading heavily. You need to
ask your developer to optimize your script.

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
777 xxxx 18 0 23024 13m 3944 R 41 1.4 0:00.21 /usr/bin/php vbseo.php
2331 xxxx 15 0 24204 15m 4044 S 17 1.5 0:00.51 /usr/bin/php vbseo.php
2367 xxxx 18 0 16812 7952 3916 R 5 0.8 0:00.14 /usr/bin/php vbseo.php
2368 xxxx18 0 17348 8080 3640 R 5 0.8 0:00.14 /usr/bin/php vbseo.php
2370 xxxx 17 0 13344 3700 2800 R 1 0.4 0:00.02 /usr/bin/php vbseo.php

Please try to optimize it or upgrade it to latest version and give it a try.

Hope you can help me

Hello,

since you have "/usr/bin/php vbseo.php" processes running, you are using CGI version of PHP. Performance should be improved if you will switch to Apache handler PHP module instead.
Also, you can move rewrite rules from .htaccess to httpd.conf to reduce load.

How can I access the httpd.conf file ?

This is Apache configuration file and it's location may differ (often it resides in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), you will need root access to your server to modify it.

for cPanel users you ( or I had to ) add it like this:

Code:

<Directory /home/me_mine/public_html>
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

NOTE: If you do not have these/those apache/httpd mods enabled, do not use this, "as is". Tweak it to suit your needs.

Thanks,

For your information , we don't support vBET and don't offer support boards who installed that modification and applied changes to vBSEO files.

Wasn't asking for support.
Was trying to help the next Man/Woman who wanted to use httpd.conf instead.

And thank you for being so nice and friendly.

Thanks & God Bless, Brian R. Wallace

[How-to] Move .htaccess rules into httpd.conf from WHM - Blogs - vBulletin SEO Forums

Cool. Didn't know that was there. ( yeah, I searched....lol )
I must be a genius to have figured it out on all my own....( Even WITH vBET )
