Hey everyone well currently we are on a new server. still have a lot to work on with my server Admin to prevent this high load that i think i know what might cause it

This is the kind of issue i am currently having :

The issue is not with fastcgi nor mod_php.
It's with memory not being freed for some reason.

So the web server eventually either locks up or load goes high until memory is cleared when either the fastcgi free's the memory when the processes close or through a similar process with apache + mod_php

So far i only received a total of 79.29$ I paid the rest to get you everyone online today with that kind of speed.

The server cost is 209$ ( server ) + 75$ ( management ) = 284$/m

This is the server we are on right now ::

Xeon 5300

Processors: Various 5300 Series
Quad Core Processors
2 x 8MB CPU Cache
2GB FB-DIMM 533 / 667 ECC RAM
Reboot / KVM Over IP
2000GB Public Bandwidth
Unlimited Private Network Bandwidth
5 Public IP Addresses
Wide Choice of Operating Systems

I have physic final this week on Thursday 7 chapters to study and i totally been ignoring that since last week.

Anyways , I will be installing this donation bar may be after my finals are done. These coming 3 days i really need to study hard. I can't afford that amount every month ( 284$ ) it would be easy if ppl donate cause if you look at it, we have 150k members even if everyone donated 10$ or less this amount could be collected easily every month.

This donation bar that i will install will show you automatically

1- how many ppl donated
2- who donated and what is the amount this person donated
3- how much are left till we reach our monthly server cost

so it is a really nice mod that i bough for 40$ last week so it would show you all that in detail and everyone would know who donated and how much he/she donated and all that.

I really know this forum gives you a lot, and still will give more. I am having two big projects coming up in 4 month or so if everything went so good. i won't say what it is but it will be a really nice surprise.

So a little support for all this work would be appreciated. It is for the server anyways without no server this forum won't be online and that fast.

Thanks.

Well good! It Just shows people care about this site!

[Lord_Bo]

I hope everyone who is able to donate will do so

hah, if all 150k users were active yeah.

but hey, if even 1% of those people donated $3 a year, it'd more than cover costs.
150,000*0.01=1,500, 1,500*3$=4,500$

cost is ~300$x12 per year, 3,600$


if everyone was active... well, 150,000 people would only need to donate 3 cents each a year to cover costs... but lets aim for at least 3$ from everyone that can spare it.

I'm liking the speed here..if I can I'll donate a bit.

I reckon you should have a usergroup or something for people that have donated..like benefits and stuff, though you probably don't have much to offer.

Cute medal for cute donors
Less restrictions on avatar/sigs/PMs (as example) would be nice, as an incentive.

I was saying IF! I know not everyone would donate , but looking at the 284$ if ppl donated even with little amount that price would be collected easily.

I give awards for ppl who donate =]

P.S. plz stay on topic everyone. I wouldn't want to be stuck paying the 275$ or so all by myself.
The donation bar will be installed this thursday so everyone would know how much they donated and how far are we every month.

[Knave]
