RE: FN-FORUM: Dedicated linux hosting query
date posted 21st August 2003 14:49
Hi Bill,
I am not sure what they are making all the fuss about. It just seems that
they want to increase their income by confusing their clients into getting a
much bigger (overpriced) server.
Regards,
Noah

Subject: Re: FN-FORUM: Dedicated linux hosting query
Thanks to all who answered, I've got to put some thought into what to do
next.
I have clarified with them that when they say 100 concurrent connections
they don't just mean on the database the are talking overall.
Does anyone have any idea about how to monitor overall connections? I have
a dev server here with the website on and want to see how many concurrent
connections normal browsing by one user accounts for, to see if I can
optimise the site in some way, to reduce connections.
I thought that if one PHP page opens a mysql database and does 3/4/5..
queries, this is one connection not 3/4/5 etc. So optimisations of
individual scripts is not going to bring to connections down unless I can
remove the connection to mysql altogether on some pages. Is this right?
I'm gradually getting more confused!
Thanks,
Bill
