Need assistance optimising a server
I know this is another 'optimize my server' thread however i have tried many methods stated on WHT however the load is still the same.
I have a server which has just one website, this website has about 2.5-3 million page views a month, with about 60 million hits a month (a lot of images)
This site also has a forum where about 40-90 users are always online. The forum is using Invision Power Board. I havent tried any of the mysql tweaks as the main bulk of the traffic is the main site, which is html with a few php includes on every page (which point to html files).
My server specs are:
AMD 3000+ Barton
1GB RAM
The config files are below:
my.cnf
Code:
[mysqld] set-variable = max_connections=500 safe-show-database
The top screen is below:
Code:
