reducing memory Usage

Hi guys,

i'm currently running mybb on Dreamhost PS. i run a fairly busy forum that uses about 12.710 MCn (around 0.5 mcn a day) a month. MY sql usage is minimal but my Web memory usage seems to be very high..

is there any way of streamlining my services? i quite often gett error 500 messages due to lack of memory on the server and rather than incurr extra cost, i'd like to see if theres anyway that i can reduce these messages.

i'm fairly experienced in running servers but i dont know the ins and outs of the Dreamhost PS yet..

can i modify my http.conf? or my own php.ini to use less memory on here? or am i destined to pay out more for a safer service..

web PS is currently set to 227mb mem and 227mhz cpu.

perhaps i should move back to shared webhosting and just use the dedicated mysql..

many thanks in advance..

You could try implementing fcgi (if it isn't already).




How To Install PHP.INI / ionCube on DreamHost

Wow, that was so easy and has made such a difference. the response times are so much better. i've implemented it accross most of my sites.

My personal gallery (running gallery2) used to be so sluggish, now it comes up in a flash..

many thanks for the tip. when i first read about FCGi i though i had to re write the code for my sites which put me off, that was so much easier.

Thanks mate!

No worries
