I am still experimenting with my 720 linode server. I am very pleased with its performance.

I had joomla and vbulletin on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTX. It was very responsive.

I have a license for Vivvo that I intend to integrate with vBulletin. I will hopefully have that done tomorrow. I expect its performance to be very good. If not, I will go back to Joomla or Drupal. I have Drupal on another server with a different company. It is only a 540 xen vps with no swap memory. It still does very well along with several other modest sites.

I too have had issues with version 6. Version 5 was solid and fairly streamlined.

Tune what you can in Apache (MaxThreads, MaxClients, etc.). What I use is here. You ought to look into caching within Drupal.

Its odd to see that much utilization with NO traffic. I know Google/Yahoo/etc beat up my drupal site bad when they crawl.

When I reboot the linode I can connect via ssh and when I run 'top' I see the memory generally climb till there is none or virtually none left.

I have three domain names point to my drupal 6.9 install - one of them is brand new, from dyndns.org just as a future place to test things.

I noticed that the two other domains have some of the same modules and decided to consolidate the common modules to the ...sites/all/modules folder. I think that there was a bit of time when "Views" and "Backup & Migrate" modules folder were in all/modules and at least one of the individual sites modules/ folders at the same time and possibly different versions in each place.

Now my linode uses lots of memory every time it is rebooted. I have tried turning off all the non core modules and then moving them from the modules folder to a '/sitename/modules-disabled' folder but the problem persists. I haven't tried this last procedure with the other domain.

Any ideas what might be happening and how to resolve it? The mysql and apache processes are both taking ~100 MB even when the sites are idle.

when i tried posting, it gave me an error each time. i see that the post made it on though, but I can't remove the duplication only edit...so this is an edit of the duplication.
