Deticated server with 8GB slows down

ivatigoal · 2014-03-04 22:16:44

Is it normal for a dedicated server with 8GB and only ASP installed to run out of memory? I have almost 110 live members at any time and around 20000 uniques per day. The host say it is the script and MySQL. I just want to know if they are right so I won't upgrade RAM for nothing

Yes, that sounds normal to me. My server has 64GB of RAM but my connection is only 100Mbps. What is your connection speed? Your site gets 20k unique visitors per day? That seems like a lot considering that your alexa rank is only around 200k

You can find out if the script is slowing down. Usually the bottle neck is mysql. You can enable slow query log and if you have slow queries i will fix them. Also how to do you notice that this affects your site? Is it slow? Or? Because ram is not everything. When you need to wait for the pages to load, then its a problem.

Thank you both for your replies. Xpornclub provider did not say anything about the conection link they said that from 8GB RAM i have only 47 MB free. I was on vps with 4GB ram and they asked me to go to deticatrd. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I saw this slow issue. It is strange that 8 GB RAM is not enough for a sinlge script. My site actually gets from 20k-22k uniques per day according with Google Analytics. Maybe Alexa needs to refresh to get the right results.

Symtab I will enable that option, let me know were i can see this log afterwards.My site becomes at first slow, then really slow the next minute times out of waiting and then it becomes live and fast again and so on. At that very time i can access ftp and cpanel but none of the sites at my server.

And how do i enable slow query log?

Well it might not be the RAM that is necessarily slowing down .. for example what is your connection speed to the server? Perhaps you can ask your provider .. that will definitely affect the amount of connections to your site at one time. Our server runs a dedicated 1 Gbit line (1000 mbps), but most server companies may limit you to 100 - 500 mbps depending on their plans.

Edit: Nevermind I see you're hosting with Arvixe, and you're stuck with a 100mbps port, however it looks like you can upgrade it to a 1000 Mbps uplink for $40 extra a month which is pretty cheap.

Do you use any type of server monitoring software? For example, we use something called NewRelic.com .. amazing server and web application monitoring software with great pricing.

Assuming you are using MySQL 5.1 or higher, this is one method:

set global log_slow_queries = 1;
set global slow_query_log_file = <some file name>;

or alternatively you can use this method:

Within the file = my.cnf/my.ini

log_slow_queries = 1;
slow_query_log_file = <some file name>;

Once the change has been made please restart your MySQL server.
