RE: Server error, address not available - Like Ra - 27 Oct 2011

To close the Hetzner discussion. The original post:

Quote:hetzner has very courteously kicked me off their servers citing contravention of their acceptable usage policy:

It has been brought to our attention that your website ‘thedotspot.net’ has connotations of being an adult-orientated site. Hetzner’s hosting policies specifically exclude adult-orientated sites. Below please find the extract from our Service Contract which applies to adult-orientated sites: Adult-Oriented Sites (version of 1 August 2007) Adult-oriented sites, designed for entertainment or commercial purposes, are not allowed on Hetzner servers. Forbidden sites include those that provide access to pornographic materials or nudity, whether for free or for payment, regardless of whether adult verification is used or not. For purposes hereof “pornographic materials” is assigned the meaning in the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996 and “nudity” refers to a person’s intimate parts, but excludes nakedness in a natural and non sexual context, such as breastfeeding. Exceptions are made for educational sites.

what is nakedness in a ‘natural’ context exactly (apart from breastfeeding, which facebake says is ‘obscene’ anyway)?

what if it’s art?

Just in case. List of adult web-hosters: http://www.hostsearch.com/adult_web_hosting.asp

Upgraded MySQL, Apache, PHP, all modules.

Looks like everything is working now. Will complete the tuning tomorrow.

Ooopss... today, that is ...

Tweaking performance & code is very addictive ...


RE: Server error, address not available - Like Ra - 04 Nov 2011

Lots of optimization is going on in the blog. Lots of visible and invisible stuff have been changed.


RE: Site performance, Server errors, outages and tunings - Like Ra - 06 Nov 2011

Recompiled another PHP, added memory based caches, tweaked too many things to mention.

Do you guys notice anything? Does the site perform any better?

It was significantly faster for me and for the profilers. Until:

12GMT today, When something happened again and everything went down for one and a half hour. Logged a ticket for the provider again. The disk was overloaded. No news here.

I replaced suphp with php5 for the performance reasons. PHP is much faster than suPHP and suphp does not support caches (APC, memcache, etc).

The problem with mybb and mycache is when my scripts restart Apache (because of overload, for example) I have to manually "clear" the forumdisplay cache (which is empty, BTW) to make forum display threads. Probably it's something about PHP sessions and memcache, don't know. But this is very annoying.




RE: Site performance, Server errors, outages and tunings - Like Ra - 06 Nov 2011

Do not want to use xchache or eaccelerator, because they are disk based caches and I would like to eliminate disk dependency as much as possible.

Oh yes, I enforced browser caching, it should help a bit more as well.

OK, it's bug. And will be fixed in the next mybb release. Another solution is to manually apply the changes to three files. Gonna do that now.
