Greetings.
Starting at 07:00 EST (12:00 GMT) on Tuesday, 13th Jan I'll be doing some tweaking on the server configuration to optimize speeds and page loads. I don't anticipate going more than 2 hours on it. During that period you might notice short intermittant "page cannot be displayed" or "internal server error" pages on the forums. The www site should only be minimally affected. Outages should be no longer than a minute or so as I load the new configuration and test whether it works or not. If it does then I run the benchmarking program against it and if it doesn't make things faster than revert the change. During benchmarking you should not notice any anomolies.

Hmm, OK, did some nondestructive tweaking and maybe I don't need to do any more.
Right after the switch:

7 seconds for 1000 requests. Was 2.2 seconds for 10. Presuming this benchmarking is accurate I think I've gotten it as good as it can get.
Anyone with any access, slow page issues, missing images, anything out of the ordinary, no matter how slight you might think it is please PM me with it so I can look into it. Nothing is a bother to us except for slow pages that we might not know about so don't worry about it.
Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up Pete... It must be quite exciting to handle things like that and actually know what you're talking about. Hugs, Liz
It's an interesting mental exercise, I'll give it that much Always looking for better, faster ways to generate the forum pages. Keeps it interesting for a non-poetic techie like me :)
Well see that just goes to show there is room for everyone in poetry! LOL NAH, Nah ... LOL
Perhaps. Perhaps not. One never knows.
I will be doing some tweaking tomorrow morning just to see if I can eek some more performance out of the system. I'd like to see it get close to the peformance I'm getting from the www.mosaicmusings.net page. Might be a little hard with the forum software but one can but try. I'll update this thread when I'm done playing around.
OK, couple of more tweaks and looks like another slight improvement in the numbers:

(.3 seconds faster, 6.6 instead of 6.9 and the system handling 9 requests/second more than it did before).
I don't forsee any more 'internal server error' or 'page cannot be displayed' messages, but I'll be looking around to see if there's anything else to prod.
Enjoy.

Cool stuff!
OK, installed the 2nd hard drive and made them redundant. I'm done tweaking things for now. Course, when the new version of Fedora comes out in June I'll have to do it all over again. Oh well
Enjoy and PM me any problems.
Wow, Peter, you're a genius! Or do they call you people nerds....LOL....?
I'll tell you right away that I've just logged in a lot faster, big difference! I never got to downloading Firefox, which I should, but Old Father Time gets older & older, the young man said....(Lewis Carrolll....haha...).
What would we poets do without you?! There must be some poetical streak in you, it just comes out a bit techie. Perhaps we need Arnie to transform your thread into a techie poem. Arnieeeeee....?????
Thanks a lot, congrats,
Syl*** ....and a big hug to Liz, how're ya doin', Liz dear? It's great to have you back.
Peter, great job. is the tweaking done thru hardware or soft ware? Hardware i can understand, software leaves me baffled most times. Oh and (jokingly) what is anomolies, are they molies that don't have any ID? undercover molies? when they turn thier backs on you, do you see molie asses? Sorry couldn't resist.
Steve
Ya know, no idea... I think they come from the same place gruntled employees come from.... You can't find them when you're looking for them, they only come out when you're not lookin.
Pete, Thanks, the scary part is I understood almost all of that, 128GB of RAM wow...I used to work on tropospheric scatter radio systems in the military that had a bandwidth of 8Ghz with FM modulation. I have been out for 16 years now, most of the stuff I worked with was made in the 1950's, so makes me wonder what they use now, probably mostly SatComm with at least 512Kb encryption. Not sure I want to know...lol.
