cache on ramdrive and the front page is large now because of html not being disabled on theforum list
im goinbtg to addthat code later todaty wich should reduce the page size by a 3rd at least

Jamroom's cache is in the database, so JR is not going to use an HTML drive unless you've symlink'd the jamroom/data/cache directory to your ramdrive - just be very careful you don't run out of space or Jamroom will not function correctly.

Just a recommendation too - the $160 a month Linode plan here:

https://www.linode.com/pricing

with 384G SSD, 8 CPU cores, 16G RAM and 16TB transfer would be an insanely fast platform for Jamroom - seriously. It would be cheaper than what you have now, but would run circles around the performance. Just an FYI. I'm a huge fan of Linode and their platform - I've never been on anything faster for hosting.

the problem being the drivespace is nowherenear sufficient

one thing we found is although they told me ramdrive was mounted at a particular path and i configured the server that way no ramdrive was mounted
so that could be a significant cause

i upgraded mysql and litespeed and requested they mount the ramdrive
pindom tools testing from a freinds pc had 2-5 second loads everytime so thats definately a good speed for a kinda heavy page
but i think the ramdrive being set right shoiuld really improve that score

is there a details log i mean it says it runs several tests to determine the score
a details log that tells you wich tests lowered the score would surely help you find the cause and fix it

im paying like 204 the current disk usage is 73-76% i think of 1 tb but thats cause im uploading my sites arechives into 2 diferent folders i had stared a 3rd but stopped it i might delete thgat and test

but i looked into your recomended they i think had a max of 350 gig drive i could be wrong but it wasnt big the 2 gig ram 2 core i think was over 400

they are doing some optimizxation tests trying to find the cause
they think maybe the ramdrive cache might have been configured wrong or something
but they are working on it trying to work out the issue

its 8 cores and there is 1 thing the timeouts and max exe times on mysql and litespeed were all maxed out to allow the huge ning imports to run without stopping every 3 minutes
im upgrading mysql
and considering the smaller ssd drive as a cache drive

i installed lucid fusion last night hoping it would be a better search option but as soon as it was started b4 any configuration or anything the memory used was over 4 times as much so i shut that down till i talk to thier tech ppl and will more then likely remove it

question
the test.. since it runs in the browser if my home routers acting up again that could affect the results?
with the hundreds of gigs ive transfered the last month im surprised the router hasnt burst into flames

i think ill have someone else run the test from a diferent pc just to compare

i ran the performance test
it suggests a 2 core 2.8 ghz 2 gig vps with ssd drives
i have an 8 core 3.8ghz 8 gig dedicated server with sataII drives
the only diference isthe drives and it rates a 40 out of 1000 and says it will run very slowly
the host offers a maximim of 600 gigs in a ssd drive at a 125 additional cost if i upgraded to 2 ssd drives it would double my cost to over 500 a month for the server
i live on 700 a month

so how accurate is this could it really be the ssd drives making that big a difference

i did see slow connect and wait times in the pingdom tools tests

but youd think with the cpu and ram being 4 times the recomended it would rate better then 40 out of 1000

ps during the import im using over 660 gigs 73% of a 1tb drive
once live ill be using less...temporarily
and if things take off it wont be long till i need a tb

i looked at the jr recomended servers
they wanted 4 times as much money for 1/2 the power

besides the drives what else can i tweak to get better performance
would upgrading mysql from 5.5 to 5.6 help

seamless video listing issues


Using Jamroom

ok if i have someone i know whos a mega genius work on it is there any way she could get phone support if needed just for this special case (and reply privately by email if so)
only ask cause she works 17 hour days and has cancer lupus and ms so if shes working on it and needs a quick answer...i doubt she will run into anything she cant handle thouigh...just will be limited in the time she can spend on it and hunting for answers

i might give it a go wasting a few hours attempting to figure it out

cloud performance increase vs price question


Using Jamroom

yea i realize thgat so i think ill clear the queue
all the rest went fast like 30 or more each refresh
the last 99 have just been horendouse but im not sure if that means all 71 that are left are all currupt or if 1 will take hours the next seconds the next hours
it has seemed like they are all taking forever so im assumming it tries them if corrupt it requeues them and retries later so the end of the list should all be currupt

seamless video listing issues


Using Jamroom

thats what i thought and im just trying to work out the template logic
i geues if item module = jrvideo
vrvideo item code
elseif module is vimeo etc

but think it needs a foreach item
if item module

if i can figure out the logic i might..and i mmean might be able to peice it together


u say theres a ticket but not ready to go is there any progress at even an alpha or beta or has no work been done on it yet
