Forums now powered by nginx

[Viper007Bond]

We've switched webserver software for the forums. Please report any issues in this thread.

Apache giving you too many problems?

Not problems necessarily, just too much load.

Apache has a million features of which you only use like 8. nginx does those like 8 things and much, much faster.

 

[Shawn]

Pages seem to be loading quite a bit faster today... is it because of the switch or something else?

 

[IceBone]

Have you re-implemented the live thread thing that you disabled during the forum overload?

 

[Quiky]

Yeah, all the load from sunday was due to apache going nuts..

The only problem now is that requests go in a queue for PHP to process them-- which means the more requests, the longer it is queued up. I'm looking into caching the pages, as most of the requests are on popular topics from guests.

 

[IceBone]

How long a queue are we talking here?

 

[Quiky]

It depends on the # of requests. There are 5 processes that handle queries. Each page takes .1-.2 seconds to generate. So do some math there

 

[Viper007Bond]

Have you re-implemented the live thread thing that you disabled during the forum overload?

No and it'll be off until after Top Gear is done. It's a feature that doesn't add much but results in TONS of load. I also disabled iSpy, Xbox, and a few other features to make sure the forums stay online for Sunday.

 

[Quiky]

The forums will be slow, but usable. The main site will be up with no problems after I finish the configuration revamp..

That is how I use these forums. Now I need to actually check the forums themselves for update.

 

[Nabster]

I have to agree, it will be slightly annoying without ispy now.

 

[Viper007Bond]

iSpy is back online, but it may need to be disabled if the forums start eating it.

 

[Nabster]

Whoo, thanks!

I love that feature....

 

[argatoga]

Yeah iSpy!

 

[IceBone]

user cp ftw!

 

[Viper007Bond]

I prefer the calendar.
