Hey,

So I've set everything up manually a few times before now, but I got so bored of configuring everything for a manual install I just said screw it and used XAMPP this time - so my circumstances are not completely ideal.


Basically what I am looking to find out is how to improve loading speeds for Apache, PHP and MySQL on my dedi server?

The server I have is of the following spec:
Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 V2 (3.50Ghz with 12 cores total)
64 GB DDR3 ECC
2 x 2TB SATA3 (RAID 0/1)


Please note we use Windows Web 2008 R2 so only 32GB of the RAM is usable.


With all the abive aside, here is the important part:
Whilst people are browsing the websites I have configured they are random hit with a blank white page saying "Your request has timed out. Please retry the request." - I have about 100 unique hits daily and a lot of people report the same problem, and I have even had it myself.

It feels as if the server has much more power than Apache and co. is trying to utilize - what can I do?

Yep, xampp uses the build from Apache Lounge.

Assume you use Apache 2.4.

You can read in the announcement:
When you have hangs, slow traffic and/or when having in your log entries like Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. You can try the following settings:

AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableSendfile off
EnableMMAP off

AcceptFilter http none was already added in the config file, and I have added the other three myself.

How much of a difference would you roughly estimate this would make - and what else is there I could try to further increase response times?

Especially "EnableSendfile off" and "EnableMMAP off" are useful (designed) for multicore systems which are showing sporadic problems delivering the content reliably.

Noone can tell you that this definitely solves your problems - you will have to give it a try.

I have turned off the settings in the config file and though the errors would appear to be less frequent they certainly don't seem to have resolved the problem.

I still get the issue, it seems to be when I'm using some sort of interactive content, take for example replying to a forum thread, when I click 'Post' it just kinda well yea...shits itself.

I wonder if the problem is more geared here toward PHP rather than Apache on that basis - its a pain either way though.

EDIT
I apologize for the file being so extensive, but its the output that Speccy gave - I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers for optimizing the speed of Apache, PHP, MySQL and FileZilla (though obviously not as important), but yea...the Speccy output file is here:
