mysql crashing under 100 user loads

2001-06-21 Thread David Freeman

I am having a problem with mysql.  I am running a php web site that uses a (mysql Ver 
11.15 Disturb 3.23.39 for pc-linux-gnu (i686))database.  Whenever i get a load of 
about 100 simultaneous users, mysql begins to spawn D stat processes and the site 
dies. Everything works very well with smaller loads.

I am running this on a Quad Proc HP LH4 with 1GB Ram (which isn't being touched much)

running Slack ware 7.1 upgraded to kernel 2.4-efs

Apache http/https

any help would be greatly appreciated.


here is a small sample of the spawned processes.

RE: What's the best os?

2001-05-31 Thread David Freeman

The server is a quad xeon lh4, it will host a web site written in php,
and using a mysql database which holds 125,000 squ's and descriptions.
The server's only job is to host this site.


Thanks for the responce.

Since you mentioned multi-processor, I'd recommend Linux (2.4 with
ReiserFS) or Solaris. FreeBSD won't let you take full advantage of
both CPUs the way other OSes will.

One thing that's not entirely clear, though, is whether your server is
a database server only. Or do you plan on running Apache on it as
well? If it's not a dedicated DB server, the multi-processor issue
will become less important.

What's the best os?

2001-05-31 Thread David Freeman

Hi group,
 I am putting together a new web server to serve our new
web site.  We expect a-lot of traffic on this site, so we have purchased
a HP LH4 quad xeon 550 2mb cache server.  The site will use the mysql
database to hold about 125,000 squ's with descriptions, and notes for
each squ.  The web surfers will be searching through the database
frequently.  

My question is, what is the best OS for a heavy usage, multi-processor
mysql database driven web site.  We could use almost anything, but we
would prefer to use a free OS such as freebsd or Linux based OS.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
