Server optimisation


Marc

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I am doing a lot of server optimisation lately as there have been a few lockups here and there usually leading to double posts and the likes.

I have applied a lot of them in the past few hours so hopefully you should see a difference. However will let you know that if you see a white screen when you refresh, or get a server timeout, a 500 server error etc etc etc and you know that I am online, it if likely that it is me whilst I am optimising tables. Reality is I either do it that way or I take the server offline whilst I do it.

This said however the server will be offline for about an hour tomorrow. This is whilst I apply the latest service releases to the main software and also defragment some of the database tables (something I cannot do whilst we are online).

My eyes were playing tricks (it is an age thing) and as I was skimming through the thread titles I read this one's title as Severe Optimism and thought I have trouble just trying to be optimistic at times, but 'severe optimism' - never in my lifetime :rolleyes:
