corbin Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It would depend on how efficient the code is. It could take anywhere between a fairly weak server to 10 servers in a cluster. How many users are on it at a time now, and how many resources are used?

auro Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for replying corbin. Currently my site gets nearly 200-300 users online but works most of the time worthless. I have optimised the code to work very efficiently. Each of my pages execute nearly 10-20 queries. (I have tried to optimise the page as much I could) The current database is 2.0 ghz CPU 1.0 ghz RAM 100 mbps Uplink connection The average load is between 5-10% Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131768-php-mysql-forum-site-with-2000-users-online-please-help/#findComment-684509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Did you also optimise database structure and queries? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131768-php-mysql-forum-site-with-2000-users-online-please-help/#findComment-684624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbin Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 What kind of CPU? Single core? Dual core? Quad? How good of RAM? Also, what are the loads for CPU/RAM. Also, how frequent is disk I/O?

awpti Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've yet to find a piece of OSS forum Software that can handle that many users online at once. A heavily cache-based one might work, but then you get post-update delays. I don't know of any that are heavily cache based.

corbin Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've seen a modified version of vBulletin with searching disabled handle fairly well with a thousand users, but yeah, forums don't usually scale very well that high.
