    Yeah, i see what you did there.

    This is the error i get http://prntscr.com/vgrxz

  • Your website is unavailable and the error too. Nice.

  • picypicy Member

    Thats not the site http://mp3world.mobi

  • @jevermeister said: Your website is unavailable and the error too. Nice.

    he's most likely hosting both sites on the same server.
    He's also most likely using apache with stock settings, or cPanel.

  • I don't think that he's hosting prntscr.com.

    I am hosting only one site http://mp3world.mobi and with plesk on it. What are the variables need to be configured?

    I didn't modify any other.

    You can't host a popular website with Apache stock settings. We can't tell you what variables you need to edit, because there's a lot more to it than configuring some variables.
    For a start, websites that are very popular and need to handle a lot of visitors don't use any control panel. :)

  • This is like my computer is running slow, where is the problem: You didn't specify your problems and there are a buckload of issues which could cause this.

  • picypicy Member

    aah shit, my site gets around 60k uniques per day. So whether my server can handle the traffic?

    How to host without control panel?

  • Sure it should. You could try this tutorial, assuming you're running Ubuntu

    60k unique hits a day! That's a lot of traffic. So most probably you have a throttled your apache settings that makes it unable to handle that load.

  • @picy juding from your posts here you are completely clueless on administrating a VPS. Either get a managed services or hire someone to do the job for you. Having 60K uniques/day should earn you easily to pay for these.

  • picypicy Member

    can any one fix these issue?
    I can pay them once it has fixed and worked better.

  • SpeedBusSpeedBus Member, Host Rep

    Btw, Just interested to know, What does the load look like on the server ? with 60k hits per day that looks to be a few thousand per hour I guess

  • @picy http://www.freelancer.com/d/ ?
    Or ask around here, I'm pretty sure you can easily find someone who will tune your server for a fee.

  • picypicy Member

    i am getting average of 25 conversion of songs per minute and 2500 visits per minute and my server is completely down.

    I dont know what makes it halt.

  • @SpeedBus I think any modern dual-core CPU can handle this without overloading.

  • @picy without the details or access to your server no one will be able to tell you even the cause not to mention solution.

    Could you post a "ps aux" that we can make ourselves a view of what is exactly causing the huge load?

    Don't forget to remove data from it which you don't want or shouldn't show like server ip's and so on.

  • @jevermeister said: data which you don't want or shouldn't show like server ip

    since the same server is used for both the website and conversion, I doubt the server IP needs to be hidden :)

  • Sure, just an example. Don't know what cPanel reveals etc.

  • Install Nginx and don bother with a control panel.

    Um I know that, Just wanted to know what the actual load looked like.

    that's really bad, you will need to use something other than apache
    EDIT: can you do free -m and show us the result?

  • picypicy Member

    how to use something other than apache.

  • Hire an admin. You can't do it right yourself.
