Your site and Postnuke

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I currently have a postnuke site/forum hosted on e-rice and everyone frequently gets errors on pageloads if very many users are browsing the site. Something about not enough memory or max_users being exceeded. I can't remember the exact phrase at the moment. Alan has posted in the forum there that they are not your best choice for a php intensive site. Is this a rackshack issue and therefore I'd have the same problem if I switched to you guys for hosting?

No, it's not a "rackshack" issue, more likely just a setting change.

Depending om the number of consecutive users, we've probably already accomodated for it, or can with no problems.

Okay, I finally found the post I was looking for. This is the info from e-rice...

If your site is highly dependent on php&mysql, think carefully before you sign up

MySQL
max_user_connections=5
key_buffer=16M
sort_buffer=1M
table_cache=512
thread_cache_size=128
wait_timeout=120
connect_timeout=10
interactive_timeout=120
max_allowed_packet=16M
max_connect_errors=10

PHP
safe_mode = On
register_globals = On
max_execution_time = 60
memory_limit = 8M
mysql.allow_persistent = Off

Could I get a list of the same settings here for comparison?

Here's our general configuration... if anything is different, we'd be happy to make general changes, but I know from experience that Nuke/PostNuke run fine on the servers:

Hope that helps
