I am running two sites on a shared plan with Lunarpages. They just moved my sites to a dedicated server due to excessive CPU usage. They have also removed Drupal from their Fantastico list.
These sites are very specialized and don't get much traffic. One site is public and the other is an intranet site using securesite to control access. That site only has maybe 90 members.
Anybody have any ideas about reducing the load on the server?
Our site, DIYPlanner.com, has been running along for a couple months now, pretty smoothly. We've got almost 650 users and over 400 nodes of content, and were serving about 30K hits per day. That number is down now, because over the last two or maybe three weeks, the site has gotten very slow. We have not seen a dramatic increase in content nor visitors in this time.
I have followed my guest counter for some time and it seem to count wrong. Can someone explain to me what it counts and whom much I can trust it to count different users on my site? Just to claify I talk about the block with “now online” information about the users and guest to the site.
I am transerfing a drupal site to a friend, and need to set him up as the master account - i have written literally thousands of pages for the site, so simply changing username is not an option.
I want to ask the devs, that what is the number of url_aliases that I can create..
Cause from what I have seen in the code, it seems that drupal picks up all the url_aliases and stores in the memory, and uses it as and whenever it wants
So if my site increases to say 1000 nodes or more, and each having a distinct url_alias, could it lead drupal to run slow or something ?
