Attachments issue resolved. Sorry. Sure there will be several small things like this I've overlooked.

[ChrisXPPro]

Been a bit of a roller coaster! 

I think admin deserves a free supply of anti-stress pills! 

[Computer Hope Admin]

Hmm well right as I'm getting ready to go to bed I've noticed on the posting that have been getting quite a bit of lag. Just throught I'd throw it out that I'm aware of the issue and will be looking into it.

Update: Seems like it posts but doesn't return you back to the main page.

It seemed a little trouble some last night but I think it was my pc or something.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Horribly slow tonight.

[Jacob]

Yes, slow tonight. 

[Computer Hope Admin]

Servers are currently getting hammered with requests and not keeping up. Looking into it will likely be upgrading the memory to help compensate.

[squall_01]

seems slow know

[Computer Hope Admin]

Ok seems to be better now. Apache server was getting overloaded with requests. Was handling an average of 22 requests a second with a maxclient setting of 150. Bumped to 256, max setting for server with current config.

[squall_01]

seems good all good.   Doing some work my self for CH too, as soon as I find the camera getting central heatting put in.

I really wish the SMF connection errors would give more detail... let alone all SMF errors.... maybe even Apache.

Actually, on one of my paid hosts, I have the option of getting extensive information on the error pages... it can be useful, however, little of it has to do with the server.


Nathan,
Open up your favorite SSH program, and log into your server, and run the command "top"
Hows your memory and processes looking in there, and CPU resources?

[Computer Hope Admin]

Yeah I have looked at top and other methods and memory is getting maxed at peek times, CPU shouldn't be an issue for a long time. A good way to look at memory and where it's going is doing the below command. Below are the results also at the time of this post.
