>> Hi Victor
>>
>> I can confirm I have received payment thanks
Now I've taken a look
>> at your server and here's a run down of possible issues below.
>>
>> My advice is to save the consultation paid money's other half of the
>> work (optimisation) for the new server. So consultation paid money
>> pays for this consultation advice and looking for a new server. While
>> the optimisation work I won't do on this old server as it won't help
>> and save the work for your new server which I can help you find. Of
>> course forum/data migration to new server will cost addition fees if
>> you want me to do the move for you.
>>
>> Summary of your server/forum:
>>
>> 1. Outdated PHP 4.3.11 and MySQL 3.23.58 (very very old you'd want to
>> be on MySQL 4.1.22 at least for vB 3.5.x and 3.6.x, MySQL 5.0.88 for
>> 3.7 to 4.0 versions. The new versions much better mysql performance
>> for vB forums and mysql apps in general
>>
>> 2. Mysql settings can be better tuned although for MySQL 3.23.x and
>> your usage for forums around 500-600 new posts/day and 300-400+ vB
>> users online and 256 mysql concurrent connections - changing settings
>> won't help much you want to upgrade MySQL
>>
>> 3. Server hardware you're swapping to disk by ~200MB meaning using
>> more memory than you have physically available - this can be due to
>> unoptimised mysql settings as well as just general need for more
>> memory for your scripts and apps and sites on the server. So more
>> memory installed i.e. minimum 2-3GB would help somewhat but the above
>> mentioned limitations will still hold you back.
>>
>> 4. Single old Pentium 4 3.2ghz processor for server might be showing
>> it's age for your forums especially if you have intensive plugins
>> installed.
>>
>> 5. vB 3.5.4 is old and unable to take advantage of vB 3.7.x and
>> higher's datastore caching features which help reduce database server
>> related loads through caching common vB queries instead of hitting the
>> database everytime.
>>
>> 6. Plugins causing load issues - now this could be due to the above
>> mentioned limitations and issues. ibproarcade and vb ad management
>> might be possible culprits - wouldn't know until we get you on a
>> better hardware spec'd server with optimised apache, php, mysql
>> settings
>>
>> 7. MySQL error for MySQL Error : Table 'passiondb.shout' doesn't
>> exist means that table named shout in passiondb doesn't exist and i
>> can confirm it doesn't exist. Seems like a plugin hack you didn't
>> install properly ?? Or a hack you once installed but have removed and
>> google or someone visited the old hack url link triggering the error.
>> Remove vbshout.php file or any plugins which you no longer use to
>> prevent the old plugins triggering these errors.
