OmnomIRC moves to Netham45's server
« on: May 06, 2011, 11:02:18 pm »
As the OmnomIRC chat started taking too many resources on the server, causing slow loading times on peak hours, it has been moved entirely to Netham45's server. It used to be partially hosted with Omnimaga, fetching logs and the IRC online list from his server, generating the PHP pages on our host.

When Omnimaga used too many resources on our shared hosting account, the server automatically throttled connections to our website, causing it to be unresponsive for a while. With OmnomIRC being constantly refreshed every few seconds by 25 users at once sometimes, some of which got two or three Omnimaga tabs open at once, this caused a lot of requests to be sent, causing the speed throttling to last during hours.

Hopefully spreading resource usage between both our shared hosting will help the site's performance.

UPDATE (May 8th): SpyBot45, the post notifier bot, has been temporary disabled, because it slowed down posting too much.

Spreading the load is a great idea :)

So it definitively seems that it was the new OmnomIRC or the increased traffic, because now everything loads faster since the OmnomIRC relocation. Right now it's slightly slower than during evening but barely.

Note: SpyBot45 was temporary disabled, as it slowed down posting too much (2 minutes sometimes)

Btw, Netham45 I think that your move broke iOmnom, you can view the channel, because I handle that internally, but for sending messages you moved messagebounce.php which I need :P

I just need a copy of it back on omnimaga and I should be fine. I could also edit it a tiny bit so that it could even reside in the iOmnom/server/ directory too

Well, the problem is that logbounce and that stuff are what caused the massive site slowdowns (the reason why they were moved out) :(

What you could maybe do is artificially limit the amount of connections to them. If for example, there are 20 people using iOmnom at once one day, have it only refresh every 20 seconds or something.
