Hi, I have two servers.
Server A: Dual 1GHz processors 1GB of RAM MySQL-Max 3.23.49a PHP 4.2.1 Server B: Single 1.7GHz processors 1.5GB of RAM MySQL-Max 3.23.49a PHP 4.2.2 Server A has a site that uses about 75GB of bandwidth per month all pulled through PHP and MySQL. Load average is 0.4 over time. Processlist is never above 2-5 process showing at a time. All in all a very nice server. When I switch the site to Server B - same database, same program, same my.cnf, my load average on Server B jumps to 25-35, the process list jumps to 30-50 processes, the server comes to a grinding hault and then sits there, all within 30-60 seconds of redirecting the site. I thought Server B would be able to happily handle the large load but it apparently is not. I am trying to figure out it Server B just can't handle the load, or if there is a problem somewhere. Can anyone give me their experienced thoughts on which I might be experiencing? Any suggested things I should try? I am kind of in a bind here as I wish to get rid of the Dual processor machine for the colo it is in is quite expensive and the bandwidth is quite low on a monthly basis. The new colo does not seem to offer dual processor machines. Time is of the essence for me so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatfully accepted.
