Dear All,

here are Server Spec

Intel SE7501WV2SCSI
RAID-5 HDD Maxtor Ultra320
RAM Kingston 1GB
Dual Xeon 2.4GHz
Average CPU Utilization 7%

here are lastest statistic

and here are SQL stat

Everything run fine. but when user grow up  more and more

the forum slow down and

I get often of this error

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/forum/default.asp, line 374

and some time  get

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'
Timeout expired
/forum/default.asp, line 374

The error show and some of topic missing on the page

if reload or refresh some time error didn't show and work properly.

 

Anyone have same my stituation ?  How I can solve ?

Only 80-90 users at the same time , is it too large?
Average user is 40-50 at the same time ,  

What is maximum load or user which forum can handle?

The first error is genreally a network or SQL server problem, could be the sl server is rebooting, or a network failer to connect to the sql server.

Web wiz forums has been known to handle over 200,000 posts without any issues.

You should consider cutting the number of forums you have as 56 is allot and each forum means an extra 3 to 4 more calls to the database on the main forum page (default.asp). That means 200+ database calls to load up your main forum homepage.

You could also change your sql logging to "simple", otherwise it saves all transactions. That will probably reduce your log size to about 20-30mb and as the server doesnt have to log everything, might increase performance a bit.

How can I change the sql logging to "simple"????

I have problem because my host has a limit of 15mb for the transaction logs so I have to backup every two days!!! (.and I hate that)

I think this is the solution but how can I do this?

Thanks.

ussually you have to conact them, to do so. just ask them to set the database to simple.

THe SQL Server error is a problem with your SQL Server, I came across this problem recently and it was solved by putting more RAM in the server with the MS SQL Server.

Do you have the recovery model set to simple so that less actions are logged?

If not, then do so as you will probally find a performance boost.

Taking time to re-write and optimize the default.asp page for SQL will provide you with a boost. Most likely it's the default.asp page and the search that is causing the problem as one has multiple server calls and the other is just a hugwe query
