Too much Traffic

Post by allfg »

HI

Im new to cmsms and i have problem.

I own a website with about 43 000 users per day, and i wanted to use CMSMS for my new website style.
First everything worked out well and I was very satified with cmsms.  But a few minutes after i pointed my URL to the cmsms directory, the page wasnt loading proper anymore. It seemed to be loaded without any style, and sometimes it just promted "Internal server error"... :-/
Maybe its my hosting and i Just need a stronger Mysql or something?
Isn't cmsms able to handle that many users?  Has there ever been a case like this?

Im looking foward for any help because I'd really like to use cmsms for my website

Edit: im using cmsms 1.0.2 with MySQL4.0

thx

cmsms doesnt have any restrictions for how many users it can handle BUT it might be that it takes too long to create pages and your server is choked.

can you check error log to see whats happening?

can you install eaccelerator?

Hello allfg,

may be you can use "wget --mirror" (or similar) to get a static copy of your site each time you update something and serve this static content on your web server. Or read http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 419.0.html and try to tune Smarty.

Back in 1995 a Pentium 1 with 32M RAM could serve 1,000,000 hits a day.

1,000,000 hits a day.
Hits are not Users.

How many pages has your web ?

Yes, you are right. I wanted to underline that if each "static page viewed" needs 10 hits, then a more then 10 years old computer can serve 100k pages by 24h. But pages are not users, as users aren't sessions, are they ?-)

So, if allfg's users view no more than 2 pages each day, my old "Pentium 1 with 32M RAM" can handle the static serving load.

@Piratos : you seem to know Smarty. How can we configure it to "live" generate the static mirror ? We would have best of both worlds : live dynamic content management and fast static broadcasting performance.
