I have a dedicated server which I have comfortably been running about 30 websites for a year or so now, but have recently added a proxy network of 40 sites to the server. Server load constantly goes above 50 and just wondered if anyone can give me any optimisation tips? The proxies are all using PHProxy, I tried adding referer protection to stop other sites direct linking to files within the proxy but that didn't work. Also with the hotlinking thing, does it have to be set to 0 or 1 to disable it? Thanks for any help Server Specs Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz 1GB RAM httpd.conf Timeout 200 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 200 KeepAliveTimeout 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 StartServers 5 MaxClients 120 MaxRequestsPerChild 5000 php.ini safe_mode = Off max_execution_time = 30 max_input_time = 60 memory_limit = 8M post_max_size = 25M
40+ popular proxies should not be hosted on a p4. It just won't last. Too much traffic and processing for such a low system to handle.
