Enough said. I run a corporate website and we NEVER have the constant problems that LG has. If you don't know what you are doing EMAIL ME!!!!

Instead of (bleep) and moaning, throw a few bucks to the folks who host this site for nothing and ask for nothing in return.

Damn.

We just broke a 7-game losing streak behind another great performance by Kobe - and you want to talk about servers?

What kind of traffic does your "corporate website" get?

Try 500 simultaneous users hitting "refresh" every 30 seconds.... :roll:

We are on a new server. Just spent a good chunk of change from one of the mod's pockets upgrading to it.

Just getting throttled right now by Kobe's 65.

what an ungrateful ass. How about you donate some money to help them run this place fella, instead of acting like you're smarter than you are.

Actually this is noted improvement DB.

A game like this by Kobe would have definitely KO'd the old server.

this seems like a pretty damn stable server to me, considering the others i've seen host this site. I could probably provide free hosting if i knew the traffic.

You have to have a lot of damn nerve to come here and basically talk trash about a site in which YOU come and commune with fellow Laker fans.

I mean, why even go the route of creating a thread about your disdain for the server? Why couldn't you have PMed one of the mods and "offered" your help instead of "demand" something get done? Have you contributed monetarily to this venture? I don't think so.

Someone mentioned "ungrateful" and they hit the nail on the head.

Unbelievable. Completely inappropriate. Show some respect.

I thank Jason for his generosity in helping LG.
And yes, I agree that it would be great to have at least 1 front end, and a back end, with a good db on top.

I was at a conference the other day, and they were talking about php limitations, in terms of scaling. Anyone know much more about it?

If we are only on one server, what is being run on it? I think the key really is CACHEING.

Here's a quick trick to help reduce bandwidth costs: purchase another another domain. Call it ldimg.net. Let it store the graphics, and then force the cache on the graphics to cache for 10 years. When you update the website, you update the filename for that graphic, so that we move forward.

There are tons of proxy issues, and many proxies don't cache if you have a cookie embedded into your top level domain (lakersground.net). Some do it correctly, some don't. So it's best to push graphics to another TLD. The graphics can still be stored on the same server, but cookies won't be sent, and you can force very long expires on it.

Anyway, there are a ton more tricks of trade to get better performance out of smaller configurations. I wonder what the iostat, vmstat, and load on the servers are right now. Lots of fun stuff can be done by good tweaks...

I've done some MySQL tuning myself in terms of caches, keys, etc. I could volunteer some time to help with that if you guys need.

Purchasing a new TLD: $13 or so, or less eh? Routing it to the same box is part of the hosting package, most likely.

So the server is phpBB running with standard Apache? Could you add mods or switch to something different?
