brianthephysicist Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 In the past couple of days I've been timing out a lot. Usually I'll time only time out once or twice a week, but I'm timing out a lot right now. Took me four tries to get into this thread today. I should also note that when it doesn't time out, it loads immediately, faster than most sites I go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Same experience as Brian. Either I can't get on at all (about 90% of time last 2 days) or it is FAST. Thanks for all you are trying, dUSt. Have you checked with some of the other users of IP Board to see if this could be a glitch in their software? Just a thought.... if other boards are having the same problem, wouldn't necessarily be just a PHATmass problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've disabled the search feature. Using the phorum's search function eats up a lot of server resources. I'm almost to the point of replacing the search function with a Google search box, which would be used to search all the threads Google has indexed--even though it would not have all the same functionality, such as searching specific boards, or specific members, etc... Still, the trade-off may improve performance and let us open up some of the other functions, such as "Who's browsing this post", etc.I've disabled the search feature.

dominicansoul Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1335541994' post='2423942'] Well, I re-compiled my Apache server last night, turned on SuExec with fastcgi as the PHP handler. Seems to be faster for me, but if anyone has any better ideas, let me know.

dUSt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There's always the option of paying more than the $50/month for our current server and getting one with more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I mean, Catholic Culture still needs to raise $10,000 by the end of teh month for whatever they do... If only... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 how much more than $50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 An extra 256mb of RAM costs an additional $12.50 per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Server upgrade for only $13 per month? I'd kick in $1 per month... are there 12 others who'd be open to doing that? Sounds like a good plan dUSt.... at least we can try it. You can always go back to having 'search' available in the future if you want, right? Thanks for all you for us... if we find this frustrating, I think you must either be a very patient man... or well on the way....

dUSt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 An extra 384mb of RAM costs an extra $17.50 per month. Right now, phatmass is running on 1216mb of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i think those who like to post videos should pitch in an extra 20.00 a month... oh wait, that's me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 OK, same offer... if I toss in $1 per month, are there 17 other PHATmassers willing to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) dUSt, does it cause problems with RAM if we use lots of emoticoms and videos or super-long posts? Because if we should limit those, please let us know... I'm just a dumb lit and counseling major over here... not so techky...
