P4 Dedicated Choking???
I'm running a postnuke site with a pnphpbb forum module installed. Have 2800+ members with up to 120 online at any one time and my:
Dedicated P4 2.4ghz 1 gig RAM server is choking. running server loads of 70-100. Anyone know why this might happen. I know there are many postnuke sites like mine with the same configuration running on similar servers with no problems.  |

I've seen comparisons that show Mambo is easier load wise on a server than nuke, but I'm also sure you don't necessarily want to convert! John

Phatty
After stopping apache the load dropped as soon as I started apache it increased this could only mean that the server isn't able to process the requests quick enough and increases to load we are compiling your kernel to support 1gb ram and we will see how this helps |

The kernel recompile should make a big difference. I am not sure how efficient the phpBB forums are, but I would think that server should be able to handle them fine.
Do you have a lot of downloads or any large downloads getting heavy traffic? Lots of images stored on the server that are being downloaded each time someone views the pages? That could possibly be the cause of it. Apache takes a lot of horsepower to push a lot of large downloads, especially if the majority of your users are dialup.
