Second server configuration to be used only for the database handling (MySQL) has been ordered. This should improve the forum performance immensely.

Will have to turn the forum down for installation later today.

 

[jazzbluescat]

Long overdue.

A thousand thanks, tho.

 

[MyMartinTenor]

Congratulations Harri! You guys do a great job, and I'm sure the new server will only make the experience better. Thanks, and good luck.

[BIG B Convert]

Thank you HARRI!!!

Harri, have you made the installation yet?

The Board seems to be whizzing along incredibly quicker than usual! [If not, maybe this is just a particularly good time.] Wow, I don't know about y'all, but, my head's spinning.

Jazzbluescat,
keep spinning for the next two years. I guess we are now set for significant growth.

Yes, the installation was finished approx. one hour ago. However, for the last 45 minutes the forum was running slow because there was a full back-up going on on the old server.

Briefly, what was done:

1. The SOTW Forum database along with MySQL was transferred to a second server housed by the same ISP. With RAID1 it is running like a speeding bullet.
2. The http-process was optimized on the old server to get some speed improvements, now when datbase handling is gone. The Forum seems to be running much faster now overall, and I am using it from Finland. Would be interesting to hear some more comparisons from the North America and elsewhere, too.

I have found it incredibly faster and I'm in the midwest! I'm literally waiting for 1-2 seconds when I click a link and then the page is up . Way better than the min I was waiting before. Thanks Harri!

Server is fast,quick, responsive from ON, Canada Harri.

Harri's a gentleman and a scholar, there're very few of us left.

 

[Spooner]

Thanks so much Harri--big difference.

 

[SactoPete]

Interesting, I've never really had any performance problems at all. Pages have always loaded in a second or two for me. I guess I'm just special.

 

[bluesaxgirl]

Whoo! It's a huge difference that I greatly appreciate.

They say everything's better in California.

 

[SactoPete]

Who is the host, anyways? Are they in Cali?

EDIT: Out of curiosity, WHOIS shows GoDaddy as the host, and if I remember correctly they have data centers in Phoenix, AZ and Cedar Rapids, IA.... So no, I don't live THAT near the data center...
