Hi Everyone, hopefully someone can help me with this. I am managing the site for an up and coming pop group in the UK and everything was running fine at first. We're using a standard install of drupal with clean URLs and the following modules:
- Event
- Flexinode
- image
- pathauto
- simplenews
- front_page
- urlfilter
The site also offers streaming mp3s via a flash mp3 players and uses private file access. I'm trying to login to disable this!
Our first shared host couldn't cope with the traffic after the group made a tv appearnace and blocked the site. They said there was problems with our scripts. We moved to 1&1 shared hosting and it worked ok but a bit slow. Then, we started getting the 'max_user_connections' message and were told by admin that we were using over 40% of the servers resources.
We have now moved to 1&1 managed hosting (dedicated server) and are still experiencing problems. Sometimes for a few moments you can get on fine to front_page and slow access to other pages, other times these messages come up:
"Lost connection to MySQL server during query" or a message saying can't connect to db as not available (and it becomes unavailable through phpmyadmin too). People are also not being mailed their passwords.
Our current server setting are as follows:
- WebDav active
- FastCGI inactive
- SSL support active
