Bibs 11,391 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 This was done but it's not sped the server up much. Am I being paranoid or is the site still a little sluggish for everyone?

Loose Cannon 582 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 There are so many other factors for me including rubbish PCs, poor local broadband speeds, IT security at work etc etc it's really hard to tell. It's certainly not the slowest site though. Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to post Share on other sites

oneshot 155 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 My end is fine too (ooh err missus). Given that I am on one of the fastest networks in the UK (the academic network) then I can eliminate most networks issues that people face. Speed seems fine to me.

Bibs 11,391 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Few more bits to be done to speed things up, don't panic if you see smoke over the next couple of days. For those of you who want to know, we're moving onto a new server 1 x 3005 | HP DL120 Dual Core G6950 (2x2.8Ghz) 4GB RAM 2x250GB SATA RAID1 This should be £336/month but I've negotiated some discounts with our hosts, UKFast but you can guess from the price that it's pretty sweet as far as servers go. It's a brand new, latest generation HP Proliant G6 with fast drives (sata rather than current scsi) and has 4 times as much RAM and 4 times the HDD space of the machine we're currently on. Should speed the forum up tenfold Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Bibs 11,391 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 All done, the DNS is just updating now. If you can read this and the forum is online, your DNS is update already so carry on as normal. If you've just joined us after a delay, I hope you enjoyed the puppies There are a few minor tweaks but the server move went without incident so we should just be as before but better Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

Iconic Ride 267 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 "...and 4 times the HDD space of the machine we're currently on." Does this mean I no longer have to resize my "that's bigger than the earth" 5MP mobile phone pics? Just kidding...... Thanks for taking the time to upgrade an already outstanding site, Bibs.

Bibs 11,391 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 We've had a chap working on optimising the server so that the Apache, mySQL and other thing, erm, PHP all work as well as they can and the server's resources are used up. He's doing a spanking job, it's about 20 times faster than this time yesterday and he's not finished yet!

Bibs 11,391 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Ta If you look at the bottom right of each page there's the page generation times, this page took 0.07 seconds whereas last week it was somewhere between 1.6 and 2.1 seconds. Huge improvement in terms of usability, I'm very pleased.
