Wordpress Blog with 80K aboard overloads P4 2.8 server

03-18-2006, 02:02 PM

Hi all,

i have a server:

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz,
1 GB ram,
SCSI HDD

my site has about 100K uniques daily aboard...
script - wordpress blog, no other scripts used

my server is overloaded, almost down... is it normal for such amounts of traffic and my config described above?

thank you

slap that on there and you should see not only a speed up in the page loading, but also a lightened load on the server.

I think you can run into problems with scripts like wordpress on high traffic sites, if you use permalinks.

you probably want to tweak /etc/my.cnf for mysql, increase max connections, the amount of memory.

tweak your httpd.conf and change the startservrs min and max, and a few other options.

also you should edit php.ini to increase the memory size, its defaulted by 8M which is way too low, you should have a minimum of 64M.

hope that helps

Wordpress has poorly written queries which results in many bottlenecks. If your apache processes sit there waiting for MySQL to finish, you will be getting hit with more requests than you have apache processes, which is why many people get the timeouts to sites.

here is what i have for apache.

Timeout 300
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 500
KeepAliveTimeout 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
StartServers 8
MaxClients 450
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000

also if he is running freebsd, the defult maxusers is pretty low, which only allows 64 procs running, you may want to recompile kernel to allow many more

kern.maxfiles grows comparing the current value of maxusers

maxusers =1 means you can have 36 procs running at once including the 18 at bootup.

setting to 64 will allow 1044 procs, remember each time the web server spawns another server, it grows, so its gonna be heavy down if your apache isnt tweaked.

might wanna tweak kern.ipc.somaxconn also.

the variable for the amount to listen for tcp connections, this should be set to 1024

also wanna look at NMBCLUSTERS if you have that set low, it will definatly have an impact.

NMBCLUSTERS variable tells how many mbufs available.

that should be all.

this is for freebsd, as all my boxes are freebsd.

64 maxusers =

You should also consider indexing some tables in your mySql database.

That doesnt seem normal, that machine should be able to handle a couple of sites like that, something is wrong somewhere

pretty sure it's normal for wp with high traffic to have problems, you need to cache the front page and you will eliminate a buncha the headaches and also do some of the mysql/apache tweaks suggested.

I don't think it was designed for adult traffic.

I have that problem with a wiki site that I run... after MUCH tinkering with config files, I just ended up putting a cron job in that restarts httpd every 2 hours... it means about 2 minutes of "scheduled" downtime every day but it was better than an unexpected hard crash a few times a day... and certainly better than having to put up more hardware.
