Hi. I use the following server http://www.ovh.it/prodotti/mg_best_of.xml

Intel Bi Xeon E5504
8x 2.00+ GHz

24GB of RAM and 2x1500GB of HDD

Please if possible let me know the best configuration in your opinion so that I can support all my users. I have a heavy site with 40000 visits daily and yet increasing
Which files and what should I change on Apache or even mysql to better perform my site???

I also use XMOOV script to do pseudostreaming and Cometchat to let users se the chat bar and contact their friends... I refer these 2 as there are the heavier because XMOOV streams video files and cometchat makes many AJAX requests (as they say though it is compatible even with shared hosting so this should be already optimized)

I use Apache 2.2 with mySQL 5 and PHP 5

Please tell me which files (and the commands I should run) should I edit and what should I put to optimize my site's performance... I can use SSH if needed or edit the files through DirectAdmin control panel...

Thank you very much. I hope you help... PLEASEEEEEEEE
 
I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Are you asking someone to search the forums for you and tell you what optimzations have worked for them? If so, I'd hope you could do that yourself; the answers are definitely here.

Or are you asking for someone to give you step by step instructions? If so, that sounds almost the same as optimizing your server for you. It requires at least the same amount as work as doing it for you; probably more.

If you'd like to learn how to optimize your server, then the resources are definitely here, and the best way to find them is by using Google to search the DirectAdmin site.

If you're getting 40,000 site visits daily it's unlikely this site is brand new; you can probably start with the same configurations you've used previously, adding optimisations to take advantage of the additional resources available for your new server.

You really haven't given us enough information to even guess what you need; we have no idea what the site does, or anything about it's current resource use.

Many of us here offer server administration and/or management as a commercial service, if that's what you're looking for.

Thught I'd add some suggestions:

Use mod_ruid2 rather than PHP as CGI.

Beyond that, PHP and MySQL optimization are both art rather than science, and require watching logs over time after trying various optimization techniques.

If your two drives aren't being used in a RAID configuration, I'd definitely have the logs on a different physical drive from the MySQL databases, which would require some careful analysis of how to set up and mount partitions.

Thank you both. I thought you could give me some basic idea about best values in variables like the MaxClients, Servers and so on...
But it's ok... I search the forum, I changes a bit the values and I see my site doesn't stuck anymore (at least for the moment). I just increased the MaxClients value a bit and some other things, as well.
My site is not that new, indeed... It is about 6months old ;)
Thank you again for your help :rolleyes:
