Default vbulletin is killing my server! :(

HI there,

I'm getting mad...

Vbulletin seems to be working fine. Right now I'm running 2.3.0 and its a bit hacked but they're quite "standard" hacks, like quick reply, pm popup box, vbarcade and member photo.

Server is a dedicated dual Xeon with 1Gb Ram. Im running latest php and mysql versions.

I've seen traffic of an average of 500 simultanous users and microstats keep displaying a server load average of 0.85...

However, sometimes, all of a sudden, something makes it go mad and server reaches loads of 170.x and up, bringing apache and mysql down...

HOW can I identify the problem? First I thought it was vbportal, but i replaced it with vbhome lite and problem persists...

Help PLEASE!

well i can suggest switching to vbulletin 3.0 as i know it has decreased server load in many instances,

you should go to vbulletin.com and talk to eva2000 and he will help you tweak the mysql settings

But this is not an issue of "vb 2.xx being overloader than vb 3.xx"...

When it works, it works fine, keeping server low (0.8x), but there's something making it hit the 170.xx...

overall vB3 is less server intensive than vB2 i still suggest talking to eva2000 in the server configuration area thought

Even though 14 arcade games aren't a lot, a major problem with the arcade is the number of queries skyrocket when you add more games. I believe that it might be causing the chaos.

I think server is tweaked VBoriented, and I'll talk to eva2000, but the problem is clearly temporary and it occurrs may be once or twice a day, being days with no problems at all...

I don't think arcade is the problem either, mine is not a game-oriented forum, and I think arcade is the least traffiqued area of my site...

For example, right now, 517 online users, 11 playing the arcade. Server load: 1.40
