specs of GFY servy serv? - GoFuckYourself.com

Triple 6 · 09-04-2004, 12:47 AM

I just wanna know the specs of the pc/s that run GFY...

only becuz i have a forum going myself and its pretty fucked for a low amount of posts... threads load slow.... so im wondering what kind of specs a serv would be for dishin out millions of posts with some nice speed.

grazie.

You need your own datacenter to run GFY

try optimizing your db and load balancing . Also keep the db on a separate server and the application on the others. ALso there are some VB tweeks you can do.

thanks bro but i tried most of that.. except for db on sep serv... i think i have 25k posts total;.. thats nothing- id assume.......... im running this off a 2.somethin ghz p4 with 1 gig ram... latest php/mysql... everything else ont he site load s fine except threads.. take from 6 to 16 seconds to load... its only a gaming site with max 10 people on at a time.... rest of the serv this site is on gets mild traffic.. im buggin out. What the hell els ecould it be? Im wonderin if i shoudl try v bulletin(using invision board now)

thepost table is only 7mb... THAT should bne enough for a sep serv? i think not...

?

Project-Shadow · 09-04-2004, 02:05 AM

You could do with some extra memory, although to be honest it doesn't look like your server needs it.

As for GFY i'm guessing theres 2-3 servers all dual xeons with at least 2gb ram in each.. + Load balancing. Although it could be my old 233mhz Pentium with 64mb of ram! And a mouse on a wheel to power it.

Probably could do with some mysql and apache tweaking if anything.

If you want some real technical help with it.. shoot me an email at evilguy at gmail.com and I would be willing to have a look at all your settings and whatnot for you.

You shouldn't have any probs at all running a forum that size on a machine with those specs.

What version of what BB software are you using, and what OS is the server running?

lol thanks

@ Shadow : I just put in 512 to bring it up to 1 gig and it didnt do anything

@ Evil: thanks i appreciate it... Im gonna mail ya

@ railz: its invision board 1.3, serv is on RHE

i looked over some mysql tweaking guides and they all obviously refer to my.cnf... thing is i have 3 copies of it on my serv... one hold nothing but the root account login, the other two hold the same info, which is only:

[mysqld]
set-variable = max_connections=500
safe-show-database

fris · 09-04-2004, 02:36 PM

its all about your mysql server, how you handle the database and its connections. as long as you have enough ram and your max_connections set right in my.cnf you should be ok

true listen to fris he knows his shit

Use phpBB if you want a light weight server friendly board.

Otherwise get Zend / Ioncube and 2GB EEC Ram.

Just saw that you use invision, use phpBB, it's free too and much better.

I disagree - I think it's hosted on Sir Clive's finest...

Save the database and do a fresh install and that should help you out...

brand0n · 09-04-2004, 04:44 PM

i looked into all the other boards before i bought vbulletin. im really happy with it and what it can do. ever thought about using it instead of invision?

makefuckingmoney · 09-04-2004, 06:14 PM

Get someone that knows the software to look at it..your server is plenty..

if you were running something massive you would need multi servers..ours is running on 1 and is fast..

sometimes its your ads and that software that can load slowly
