@Krydos: Yep, my current traffic stats makes it appear so though I'm worrying over nothing, for now. But I effectively did nothing on the site yesterday except create a few MySQL tables and add a few links. There was no testing either. 0.24 Mem, if it means what I think it does. Tells me that I may have been sloppy somewhere when disposing of variables. I can't think of any reason for that much to be residing in memory at that point. I've only recently come home, so the current stats of 0,0,0 are no surprise . I'm at the beginning of putting together an internal mail system, after which there'll be more people in to test and usage will rise for a bit. I wish I could directly analyse the impact though. If I occasionally asked one of the admin, if they could check my resource usage for the day (called the command that Krydos just called). Would that be acceptable? I can compare that with logfiles I keep of user actions. After a while, I'd be able to gauge the consequences of what demands my DB usage and PHP functions would have on the server and limit features with that in mind.

@krydos : You're welcome. Thanks for solving the problem.

I recently posted a support topic where the /tmp directory of johnny filled up and this resulted in a user having their account suspended due to them taking up too many resources. This was understandable, but then a question entered my mind: How much of the resources do I use? My first thought was server load. Then vars & tmp directories. At the moment, I'm not using much as my site's still in the early stages of development and It's basically hidden from the world (No Meta tags). I only have a couple of people popping in occasionally to help me with testing. But it occured to me: I have and will be running some fairly complex mySQL queries and some recursive PHP functions. Being mostly a userbase of 1 right now, that's fine. However, if I had a page taking 0.1% of the server when used and I suddenly jumped to 300 users at any given time, my account would be gone in a blink of an eye. I like the setup here and I don't want that, unless my site's presence here becomes completely unrealistic and I have to move to paid hosting. I have to be realistic about the demand I place upon the server. The trouble is, I've no idea how to estimate the % server load a query/function call creates. Having consideration for other users, I'd like to test MySQL calls and PHP functions and calculate or in the very least estimate the server load created. A regular execution time function will produce varying results based on server load so I reckon I'd be barking up the wrong tree there. All said, I reckon prevention is better than cure and an eventual solution could benefit all users. If anyone has ideas about estimating server load, or wishes to point me towards something that I've overlooked, I'll be ecstatic. Xoviat.

Can get into CPanel now. Space on /tmp is up to 5Mb of 1Gb and sessions are being generated.

I've received the following messages on my site (scrabblefreak.heliohost.org on Johnny) when creating a session: Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0 Monitor shows Johnny's /tmp to be full. First time I noticed this was roughly 16 hours ago. /tmp free space hasn't managed to stablilize in that time. I can't access CPanel (Have no idea about server configuration, so I don't know if this is related to other problems reported/maintenance) Any ideas? Xoviat.

Thanks for the info! Any idea when Johnny will be back up and running again? A rough estimate would be great. Are we talking a few of hours or sometime tomorrow?
