If you're having performance problems (or just want your forum to run faster), you'll want to go through the following steps to try to track them down:

• If you're using SMF 1.0.x, make sure the "Check avatar size every time it's displayed" setting is off.  This setting was removed in 1.1.
• Do you have APC or another optimizer installed?
  
• Do you have a lot of posts?  If so, have you converted any of your tables to InnoDB (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=50217.0)?
• Have MySQL's settings been tweaked to optimize memory usage and general efficiency?
• If you're not on a dedicated server, are you sure others on your server aren't hurting your forum's performance?  If you're not ready for a dedicated server now, think about planning for one when your forum gets to a certain size.
• Once you're satisfied of (or properly confused with) the above, if you're still having problems... simply create a new topic in this board, with the status.php file attached uploaded to your server, and some indication of peak times, what your problems are, and what you've done about them so far.

This is currently an incomplete list (although it contains the most important points.)  More detailed information is in the works.

Please read this (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=59691.0) thread before posting about performance issues

There are some other things that are very important. I think performance should be addressed from the lowest level (the kernel) up (SMF):

• Start with a good server. If you are using shared hosting, check load averages. Make your host give you the information that you need. You also want to know MySQL, Apache, PHP, and kernel version. Along with how many accounts are on the server and other usage statistics. This is KEY for shared hosting. If you are using dedicated, shop around and go with what is best.
• Ensure your operating system is up-to-date and optimized. Windows has shown to not be as good in terms of performance for Apache or MySQL
• Use Apache 2 and optimize (http://www.apachefreaks.com/apache2/misc/perf-tuning.html) it. Still doing my own research on different MPMs so I can't really suggest which one would be best for each situation. Although, they are different ones for different server usage. Do some research
• Use a later version of MySQL. There are perfomance enhancements with every new version.
• Get PHP 5! Its been stable for quite some time now. Run the php.ini-recommended (just erase the '-recommended'). I recommend turning on display_errors and turning off error_logging. Unless you want to stick with the errors going straight to logs.
  
  Now there is PHP 5.1 5.2!! If you aren't using PHP 5, you need to be.
• It's finally official, MySQL 5 is GA (MySQL's way of saying stable). Get it! There are a lot of things that will make SMF run better. Like the ability to use key parts. Hopefully someone will come up with a mod to use MySQL 5 and the PHP mysqli lib to their fullest. *nudge*

If you have any other scripts running, try to optimize them or get the developers to optimize them. I see a lot of really bad PHP programming out there.

btw, I edited the status.php script to view phpinfo(). To view it ... http://www.YOUR-SITE-GOES-HERE.com/YOUR%20PATH/status.php?php in other words place '?php' after status.php

One more thing:
If your forum has many (1k+) attachments, be sure to disable the attachment dir size limit! the filesize check needs to iterate all files in your attachment dir everytime someone uploads a file, which can take quite a lot of time for big attachment dirs.

[hint]that routine needs some updating, anyways...[/hint]

What's the 'Opened vs. Open tables:' mean? The value on my web host is 170.085 (which looks high, considering it says '(should be <= 80)'. Actually, what does all the MySQL stuff mean?

Haha, AMD can't spell. Supposedly, my web host has a "AMD Athlon(tm) Prosussor" :P

Where do I have to change this
disable the attachment dir size limit
setting ?
Is it somewhere in the admin panel ?

Many thanks.

I believe this is it.

Admin Panel > Attatchments and Avatars > Max attachment folder space:

Hope that helps.

but how can we disable it? setting it to zero? or keeping it empty ("") ?

thanks

I THINK it'll be fine just leaving it empty. I cannot be 100% sure that it was the cause but after I deleted whatever number that was there my forum is running much much faster.

Again, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm really happy now  :D :D

That's my response.

http://www.discuspassion.net/forum/status.php?php

since I've installed smf I've got always connection problems with database..
If some of you is able to explain if it depends from my forum or mysql or the connection between them, please..I'm here.
Lots of users are not pres4ent anymore for the connection problems..

I'd like to know, with your experience, if I have to change server or ask for more band.
I'm on servage.net
Please, let me know, that my forum goes down every 5 minutes.

To be honest, with the stupidly oversold packages they have, you shouldn't expect it not to go down every five minutes.

my goodness...what a bad new.
I've changed database to have smf software as a solid forum, changed server to have something better than the past and after 3 months of changes, studies and I don't know how many other things (I've never seen a php code, but I've arranged in the best way many things), now I have to plan seriusly to change server... :(
Please, suggest me something (host) that will never give to me so many troubles. My users are bored, and I write here to understand what's up and on my forum to giustify the crashes...so tired  :( ::)

I'd probably look at either charlottezweb or montecarlohosting. I don't endorse either however so if it all goes wrong, don't blame me. Take a look in the Hosts and Hosting (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=4.0) board.

No, Ben :-[ I want to thank you for your answers...
It's silly to look for solutions if the problem is far from codes. I would have a confirming, and you gave it. So thank you again ;)

tatore,

I am just following up with some of the older posts and wanted to ask if you were able to move to a different host and to ensure that everything was going smoothly for you now. If it isn't then what sort of difficulties are you still having?

I was having the same issues, lots of "unable to connect to database" error messages. So I set up an account at http://charlottezweb.com/

I've only been there several days but it's been a breathe of fresh air. Jason is always willing to help and my forum is working as it should.

Where can I download status.php? It isn't in the attachments anymore. THANKS

Rob

It's still attached to the first post.

It makes a difference if I am logged in. THANKS

Rob

thanks for sharing

I installed staus.php onto the server I am using.  See the info I get from it below.  Why am I not getting the Basic Info? 

And now...what do I do with it?  I think the server folks have the MySQL settings...

Please advise.

I am using SMF 1.1.1

QuoteWhy am I not getting the Basic Info?

Most likely, your web host disallows use of the system(), exec() or shell_exec() command. To check this, take a look at the disable_functions setting on a phpinfo page (What is phpinfo.php? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=18250.0)) .

Note that it's a good idea to disable those functions ;)

Thanks....now if i can only figure out how to fix the indexing problems I am having and why some of these numbers are so whacked!!

Off the check phpinfo.php (that I know how to do).....OK back from checking.....there are no values in disable_functions

Travelin Man

thank you

Please read this (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=59691.0) thread before posting about performance issues

Well, I have tried all of the suggested things in the checklist and my forum is still slower than X-Mas.

I use fatcow for my host...all other sites I have on fatcow run fine, including a joomla! database I have on antoher site.

The forum is located here:  http://setformation.com/forum
Here's my server status file:  http://setformation.com/status.php
Phpinfo file is here:  http://setformation.com/phpinfo.php

PHP5. 

The slowness seems to come and go but is slow more often than not.

Please help!!!

Thanks,
Marty

Wait a minute!  I just read the Unix host post and changed the load.php script and truncated the sessions table and it seems to be better!

It means MySQL is having to close tables to open others... and then those close those to open yet others. Your host should increase the MySQL table cache.

QuoteAlso what does this mean: Have MySQL's settings been tweaked to optimize memory usage and general efficiency?

Obviously they haven't here...

Thank You. I have put in a request to my host. hopefully they'll do it.

What do I have to do, to get the bolded ones to normal stats?
Please help because load times on my forum are very high and it is getting anoying

Darkness_, please don't post multiple items in different topics. It makes it harder to provide proper support.

I'm going to post support in your topic, not here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=222543).

 I am experiencing massive lag, as well, on my forum. The site has only a few users (@40), and though they are prolific posters, there is not enough traffic to cause load times to slow to as much as 2 minutes per page.

I suspect the simple fact is that the database is about maxed out - do you have any suggestions about shaving the majority off to archive, whilst keeping the current active thread content accessible?

I am not knowledgeable enough (yet) to determine if any of the internal settings need to be tweaked...but here is a copy of the status.php results, if it helps provide any clues...

Are you on shared hosting? If so, the server you are on is very overloaded.

Quote
Load averages:    8.48, 9.28, 10.04

Although you can still run things at that high of a load, it will bring slowdowns. Also, this "search.cgi" process seems to be taking up a lot of resources, at least as of the time you looked. Keep an eye on the load and if it stays high, contact the hosting company. If they refuse to listen, you might just need to look for hosting elsewhere.

 Hosted at GoDaddy, and I am sure they are jamming their servers with every client site they can pack in. Despite multiple requests to resolve the overload issue over the years, this problems crops up every now and then.
I know the database is getting really large, which is why I asked about it, but I have very little database mechanical know-how, and thus am not comfortable with taking any steps to reduce it's size without someone holding my hand, essentially.
With regards to the actual hosting reality, the bottom line is that they want to pop me for about 2.5 times what I pay now for the service... a couple of hundred bucks a year to simply host a 40 member forum.. not realistic, at all.


So.. I am hoping making a few changes will resolve some of the lag...

I need someone to help me take a look at what is wrong with my forum as I've been told by my ISP that my forum has overloaded the server.

I am forced to put the forum under maintenance for 2 days now as once I've set it online, the problem occur. My ISP has given me the warning that if such problem repeat, they will suspend and isolate my account.

Checklist for performance problems

1. I can't find this in my avatar setting -"Check avatar size every time it's displayed"

2. As of my acknowledgment, I do you have eAccelerator or another optimizer installed.

3. Yes, I have a lot of posts and did not convert any of your tables to InnoDB

4. I've tweaked my MySQL by using SMF optimization function in admin CP. Correct me if i am wrong.

is there a link to a reference guide available explaining the results of these reports?

were you guys ever able to resolve this? 

I highly reccommend creating your own topics in this board for these issues.  Thanks :)

nope - in fact, my site has slowed even further

as if 9-28 seconds per page load were not bad enough, I am now running into 48 seconds to 2 minutes and 28 seconds load times! argh!

Ok.  Please start a topic up, and if you could link to a status.php so we can have  look closer i'd appreciate it :)

Thanks!

Our forums are plagued with browser timeouts, and "misconnections" (i.e. where we have to click twice to get a response from the forums), they tell us that our
Handler_read_rnd     26 M     
Handler_read_rnd_next    805 M
are too high and should be around 0.  None of our sites gets clobbered with visitors, couple people here and there at a time, nothing major by any means.

The host initially told us that the problem is likely that all the mysql databases that we have (we have 2 main forums, and 12 subdomain forums) were all running with the same user so told us to add a new user for each one and make them all unique and said if that doesn't bring down those numbers then the code probably needs to be optimized for joins and something else (sorry i already deleted the email from them), so anyway, we (me personally, I can vouch for it) get timeouts on a very frequent basis, probably  a good 2 out of 10 clicks will produce a broser timeout message or a browser "server reset" message.

Any clues?

Below is our status.php results.

start a new topic please.

I did, over here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=236027.0 Was told to look at this thread.

ahh, i see it now (thats what i get for being tired.

Did you run through the checklist and post the results in your topic?

Hi, I am sorry to have to bother you guys but could somebody have a look at my status.php file and tell me if there's something I'm not doing right.

You see, my host is HostMonster.com. For some time now, I've been getting a "CPU quota exceeded" error message whenever there are about 5 users online. This is quite considering that my forum is still small (less than 50 members). What would then happen when it has grown?

I want to be sure I'm not doing anything on my part that is abnormal before taking it up with them. I run SMF 1.1.6 with TinyPortal installed. The staus.php is at http://www.nanajeria.com/status.php (http://www.nanajeria.com/status.php). 

The load seems kind of high. Is it usually above 4?

How are you guys getting the status.php file to show?   I try to click on mine but get a 404 error.

I've got similar problems to many here. Below is the output of status.php. There were running the server in safe.mode and I was getting all sorts of problems. Now the hosting agent says it's been disable but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell by looking at the status.php output?

All -- please start new topics in this board for your support issue -- thanks!

This topic is purely informational

Hello all. Status.php is great tool. Thanks to this we spotted a query that would bring the whole server down in a matter of seconds! Every time we executed this query through phpmyadmin it would bring the server down. But we spotted this query by luck, because on of the admins saw the query in status.php that it had locked out all other queries.

So my question is: Can status.php be modified so that it logs (on a table or txt file) the queries that take more than X seconds to execute, or the queries that lock others out for more than X seconds? So we will not rely on chance anymore and easily find the problematic queries? Of course as i undestand it, status.php should be made as a cron job to run every second or so? Whould this have a large impact on server performance?

Thanks for your time

MySQL has this feature built in. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/slow-query-log.html

I'd recommend using this tool to analyse the slow query log: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/files/utils/mysql_slow_log_parser (save it, run "chmod a+x" to make it executable).

If you're running into queries that are blocking other queries, it's one of two things:
1. You're running an ALTER TABLE (such as in phpMyAdmin).
2. You're running MyISAM and you're suffering from write-locks (convert the table to InnoDB).

I just fired up your status.php script, and I'm getting this...

Opened vs. Open tables:
(table_cache)  34138.78 (should be <= 80)

In figures, this looks bad!! Is it? I'm on a Dreamhost PS Server.

Dreamhost doesn't tune their MySQL servers.

Yes, the table cache size should be increased. No, it won't make a huge difference, but a small one.

Thank you

Thank to all

I have error 500 too, and this is my status.php

any idea?

Memory usage:    97.492% (4043356k / 4147392k)

Don't worry about it. Your memory is being used to cache files so they don't need to be read off the disk, etc.

(table_cache)    103949.8615 (should be <= 80)

Increase table_cache_size in your MySQL configuration file (usually located at /etc/mysql/my.cnf) and restart MySQL.

It's currently set to 64. I'd set it to 256.

I'd like to know, with your experience, if I accept to change server or ask for added band.

Please, let me know, that my appointment goes bottomward every 5 minutes.

What does this mean: (and how do I fix)

windows 2003 enterprise server II6, PHP with Fast CGI, MySql & PHP installed by Webplatform installer, dsl home server, smf rc4 w/ security patch, 50+ mods installed

These are the errors:

error1

• Use Apache 2 and optimize (http://www.apachefreaks.com/apache2/misc/perf-tuning.html) it. Still doing my own research on different MPMs so I can't really suggest which one would be best for each situation. Although, they are different ones for different server usage. Do some research

Your apache optimize link is down.. :-\

Yes... 5 year old links are like that.

If you're looking to get the most from your web server, just go with Nginx.

i had this problem, change what you said but now i se that is is the hosting not fast hehhe

Please I'll like to know, what is the difference between InnoDB and MyISAM

The main noticeable difference is that InnoDB supports referential integrity (foreign keys) and transactions among other things where as MyISAM doesn't.
