toxicious

Thank you for being understanding. Yes I have been looking at paid hosting, I will migrate at the latest when I launch the rewrite. But now I see that I maybe need to do it before. Anyway, the site is still suspended? Either you just forgot something, or it got suspended again the second after (I assume you use a bot that checks this?) :(/&--#62; EDIT: As soon as you unsuspend me I'll be doing a transfer to HostWinds (no offense to you guys, I'll write a thank you post when I have successfully transferred. EDIT2: The site is now unsuspended, thank you

Account name: gaddons Server: Stevie I'm sorry guys. I've been and I am working every day on a total rewrite of the site. I don't know where all the traffic comes from, but it's been shooting to the roof for the last weeks. Was it any specific part that caused the overload? Thank you in advance, you're the best in this business.

I found a, or maybe The, python framework that was quite interesting, named Pyramid (former Pylons). Since you already run Django on your servers, I suppose it wouldn't require much reconfig to also allow it to run Pyramid? (of course probably a couple of hours of cmd'ing I guess though) Are there any thoughts from the crew on this framework and its future on HelioHost?

Found out about another framework, which seems to be The framework, Pyramid (previous Pylons, http://www.pylonsproject.org/). Any thoughts on support of that? Or, do you even need to install those frameworks or can I as a user just fix them myself (with a lot of fiddling)? I'm sorry for being needy, but there are soo many languages to program in and frameworks to use that it usually takes some time to find the right one...sigh. (I know I maybe should create a new thread since this is marked answered, but since this is on the same topic I thought it was better to reuse it than to clutter the forum with a new topic, please correct me if I'm wrong)

Okay sounds great, thx for telling me that!

I'm in the process or learning to build a website with Python (2.7) and Django (1.5) and I noticed that you are running Django 1.3 (according to the site). Are there any plans on updating the Django version? Or will I need to run an older version to be able to host with you? I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to run 1.5 apps on 1.3...

It wasn't invisible, but you definitely missed it. If you haven't yet I would also recommend reading through and doing some of the suggestions in this link http://v1.srcnix.com/2010/02/10/7-tips-to-prevent-php-running-out-of-memory/ I already linked it to you once, but since your main problem is memory usage it could probably help you. Yes I have already read it and will use the knowledge in the rewrite. Thanks for the tip

[Expletive Deleted] I'm sorry, that post must have been invisible before o.O But yeah, I could just disable the forum as a temp solution. Please unsuspend me and I shall fix!

Yeah it looks very bad. Bad timing with the other guys. So there is no more specific info? Such as which script is causing the most load?

Damnit. I'll have to figure something out... You don't happen to have any detailed statistics on what is causing the load? I have scheduled a rewrite of the whole site has soon as the summer break begins, but maybe I could just fix the biggest problem now and it will survive a month more. For example, is it the DB queries? Or is it a certain script file (php)?

Account name: gaddons Server. Stevie Main domain: gaddons.co.cc The site worked fine the whole week, but today I had lots of internal server errors, until it got suspended half an hour ago. Don't know what caused it. I know I need to optimize my code, and I really want to, but I don't have time at the moment I will have time in a couple of weeks, just not now, and it would be such a shame if I had to close it until then...

Hey guys, I just wanted to request some info about how my site has behaved on your servers recently. It has continued to grow, slowly, so I just wanted to be sure I am not clogging the RAM or the CPU The recent week or maybe couple of days would do.

Still saying queued. Hate myself for not getting a second domain earlier, hope I will have any visitors left when the site gets back. The nameservers are correct, http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/tools/dns_records.php?domain=gaddons.org&rec=ALL. So what is wrong?

a. gaddons b. Stevie c. gaddons.co.cc (though the domain that is used it gaddons.org)

Thank you for linking that page. Though I will wait, as you said it won't matter for now. Anyway, the queued page is still there, and it has soon passed 24 hours :S

Oh yeah I read that, though I created the topic like 1 second before you replied and I couldn't delete it. Though I edited it and now the main question is about editing the "Main domain" seen in the cPanel

I had to change domain today because my dot.tk domain got stolen by the registrar (apparently they do so when the domain recieves above 500 unique visitors, which my page did a day ago). So anyway, I bought a new domain, .org, and set it up. How hard is it to change main domain? If it's possible to do it without any long downtime, it would be great. Please change it to my other parked, new, domain if that's the case: gaddons.org instead of gaddons.co.cc.

Last time I checked it was installed. Remember that you can call phpinfo to check what is installed

Oh I see....well fuck malicious users

Yeah I think it's like that. People should learn to appreciate what is free. Btw I took the survey, and the only thing I voted a little less on is the cPanel features. The reason is the lack of load stats. I know you can provide us with it if we ask you, but I think it would be a lot easier if we could just see the current load ourselves, tweak a little, check back an hour later and so on. Though last time I heard something about that someone said they were turned off due to they increasing the load on the server (?). If they're really increasing the load that much, then I suppose it's best if they're off.

yeah it is really sad people don't care. My opinion is that you always deserve to get one warning/notification of stuff you do wrong in your life. If you do it wrong again, then you should get punished. Maybe it would help if you actually told them, when unsuspending them, that if this happens too often (or something not so harsh), then you will suspend them for a longer period of time.

Awesome! Will continue to look for improvements, thx again for the help!

Have you checked your spam/junk folders? How ironic, now I got an email! I guess it works after all then

I made some changes the other day and it would be great to know if the performance of the site has improved since then. Last time someone checked (Krydos) my site had the second most load of all the sites on Stevie. (Btw, I am pretty sure the Follow this topic doens't work for some reason, I never get emails even though the settings are correct!)

Okay I think I found the thief, thanks again for telling me which script it was (or whatever you got the name from). When I looked at it now, the code was kinda stupid and not that hard to fix. Each user called shoutbox.php 4 times/minute. Let's say at the time it hogged a lot, there were 20-30 simultaneous users on the site (higher than usual). That means 25 * 4 = 100 calls to shoutbox.php/minute. Aside from upping that interval to 1 minute (1 call/minute), I fixed the main problem which was that when checking for new messages, shoutbox.php fetched the 50 latest ones, looped through everyone of them just to realize that everyone of them was already fetched before (=not new). That it did EVERY call. I recoded that bit and now it should be a lot more effective. The best part of this? I did not code the original code for shoutbox.php. I copy/pasted it from the net, have modified now and then but never touched this specific part. All I can say is lesson learned.
