load on the server

load on the server
This module creates a load on the server /flash/XML.php?module=im&action=updateInvite&recipient=22&_

at the site 3-5 members online.
Can it not for the 10-15 members online need vds for dolphin.

you should post this in the tips & tricks section, code sharing, or foo, some people might not like this here..

No. this looks like XML overload bug that many people have reported and many of us are aware of. But i don't believe a solution has been found yet. I believe DosDawg was working with Rays on this one to find the problem. You could message him and see if a solution has been found.

No, this topic is in the right forum.

how to solve the problem?
I found a similar topic a link to ticket
http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/14149

it really solves the problem of load?

That's a changeset for a ticket not related to this problem.

so sorry, but there is a solution to this problem?
I was already hosting the second block that can be done?
buy a server for 5 members?

Hm. Apparently, that's the ticket AlexT linked to in the related topic. I don't understand how that has anything to do with XML.php spiking, though.

Edit: This is apparently the correct changeset: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/13924.

Thank you, I have experienced this

The solution is to un install the simple messenger

What does the simple messenger have to do with XML.php?

unfortunately these files are normal my site

 Hmmm  you still have a lot to learn my friend.

Is this one of those "it's Dolphin" moments?

  /flash/XML.php?module=im&action=updateInvite&recipient=22&_

For every person on the site no matter a member or not if the simple messenger is installed the file gets called on ever page you navigate to. Times that by 100 users surfing the site it adds up to alot of resources fast....

heck on alot of sharded hosting thats the # 1 reason to get banned...  or the famous  you need to get a vps or dedicated server because you have 10 people on the site..   seen it atleast 50 or more times in the past year and every sever log i look at its always the same reason    /flash/XML.php?module=im.

o yeah did i mention this file gets called every 2000 miliseconds per user by defualt.

I would understand that calling the Flash messenger, but not the simple messenger, which has nothing to do with Flash.

My head hurts now.

Haa  all i have to say it  not a me problem....

Your account was suspended due to overloading the server with httpd processes, and overall CPU usage of those httpd processes. Most likely one of the following is the result

- Your site had a brief period of high activity or overall downloading of specific files
- Your scripts are too resource intensive on a shared environment
- Your site may become more popular and time to upgrade to another solution.

hello, after my account was disabled I moved the site to VPS
VPS options
Processor # 1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor # 1 Name: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU@1.66GHz
Processor # 1 speed: 1666.832 MHz
Processor # 1 cache size: 2048 KB

but Server Load 21.88 (2 cpus) is red, your server is experiencing performance issues.

what the problem is such a load  of the 5-9 members  in video chat

Did you read dolphin_jay's suggestion?

No, what is it?

He said:

The solution is to un install the simple messenger

but I have installed simple messenger

Installed, or uninstalled?

installed

He said to uninstall it.

What happens if I uninstall it?

According to him, that solves the problem. If you mean what happens to the feature, the simple messenger in your member menu (the bottom bar) is removed.

yes indeed it has reduced the load to 7.32 (2 cpus) but is still red

Ok so now uninstall the messenger mod and see what happens.

uninstall every mod on your site and you should be fine lol..

You'll also be lightening fast!

It will be if he uninstalls them two modules.  just uninstalling the simple messenger he went from 22 to 7 on server load. i would say thats well worth the trade off.   i would have to guess when he uninstalls the other one server load should be around 1 to 2.  Again to me well worth the trade off.

If people want  to chat go to the damn chat room thats what its there for.  Have it open in another window so people can surf your site and chat at the same time.

Also please do not do this:

uninstall every mod on your site and you should be fine lol.. (i know it was joke and magnuss knows it was but he may not)

the guy has 36 posts here and he might take you for real...   Again dont uninstall every module.

John and i spent a few days on this load problem and we came up with the best way we know how to lower cpu usage on shared hosts that turn your account off. we talked about it back in april some  time.

see this blog post here: http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/xml_php_resource_hog_confirmed_

it might have some more tips in it for him to use.

I wish I could uninstall my simple messenger but its a major feature on my site and would impact the usage of my site.

Do you have any suggestions on how to minimise its impact on the server load without having to remove it?

Link to blog not working :(

http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/xml_php_resource_hog_confirmed_

Copy this into your web browser and hit enter. There's a bug with the forums that  causes issues with links depending on how you view the topic.

You can try to set a higher update time for the simple messenger under its settings but,  not sure if this will help you or not..  

@magnuss odd indeed  if i click the link it brings me to the blog.   interseting to know at any rate.

very sorry that we can not use the opportunities cms community at 100 percent, without modules spy simple messenger and regular messenger
Now dolphin cms as an ordinary website is not for the community.
I chose the dolphin cms precisely because of the possibilities of communication members online

well there is always the chat room like i said...     try it with just the simple messenger installed and not spy and regular messenger installed.

I'm not sure that chat I can leave my site grows, and for a video chat buy vps on tirobayt

Yeah that too....

i uninstall IM. Must uninstall video chat too or no?

I uninstalled both messengers, and if you still want the shoutbox, just move the shoutbox to the dashboard page, this is what I have done on one of my site, and this way it splits the power usage. you should see  a difference.

Derrick

I uninstalled both messengers and mod spy, but still there is a load on the server, now it jumps from 1.5 to 43 from time to time

if you wish to keep up with the latest ramblings on this topic, since it seems to be ignored by any of the boonex staff. the blog was posted, took me about 2 hours to create all of those screen shots. i then contacted the developers for dolphin and asked why it wasnt being addressed. actually found out that the post was read, and of course there was no comment placed on the blog post. i was informed that there should be an answer posted on the blog post sometime today. we are waiting patiently.

if you use a third-party RMS server will reduce the load on my VPS ?
I use common RMS server hosting provider

Not that much. because the rms has nothing to do with simple messenger, nor the shout box. only video chat and video record for the comments.

Reducing your load with the dolphin, is a never ending battle, you will have to use as many tricks as you can, and may have to reduce your mods, or just pay for the dedicated server if you can afford it every month.

cron message:

shmget() failed: No space left on device
Failed to start up concurrent users module!

on site 10 members online and is a problem on a dedicated server. if 50 members .... What should be the server?

Dang! just with 10 members?

Thats not good! Hopefully the guys here can help you!

What do you think about it http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolphinCluster
I do not really understand it relates to my problem?

i have this problem

shmget() failed:  No space left on device
Failed to start up concurrent users module!

every 5 minutes the system sends me an email with this error...

someone has a solution?

pretty sure it means maximum shared memory is set too low on the server....
