[PHP] Running several applications involving PHP on virtual private server - optimization possible?
I currently have 1 domain on a VPS with 1 instance of Moodle 2.3.2. To minimize the danger of overtaxing the resources (I share a processor :-( but have 2GBytes of guaranteed RAM) I was wondering if there were anything I could do if I wanted to put, say, Wordpress or another domain on the same server with another instance of Moodle in terms of PHP tuning. For the moment all is well, but I prefer to avoid problems in future if possible. Ah yes, my PHP version is 5.3.3.
[PHP] Question about PHP-CGI, mysqld and sudden spiking average load readings on Linux Virtual Dedicated Server running CentOS 6.3
I have noticed when doing a "top" via SSH on my GoDaddy virtual dedicated server that every time a user logs in in the COMMAND column I see the PHP-CGI process start to run, followed by mysqld. Often when these two processes run I start to see a spike in average load, and sometimes this spike spins out of control to the point that when trying to log on to my Moodle 2.3.2 LMS I get an 500 Internal Server Error from Apache. Now, what I'd like to know given the fact that I have only 2GBytes of RAM and am sharing a processor with other users :-( is if there is any way to make sure my PHP 5.3.3 is properly configured. I am given, for example, a choice between CGI, fastCGI and Apache in my Plesk panel, and I am not quite sure how to optimize things for my environment. I went to the Moodle.org site to try and see what's the right setting, but it's not clear if the persons writing there have a different setup or not. Unfortunately, it's impossible to get specs on my VDS's processor from the fine folks at GoDaddy, and perhaps there is just a simple processor power issue going on here, but I only have 30 students and only a handful going in simultaneously. And at times my average load can move from .08 to 1.5+ and all the way up to 2+ within the space of a few seconds. I should point out that at one point it was discovered by GoDaddy technicial people that a user was running a rogue process that overtaxing resources. But perhaps I also need to tweak my installation despite this incident. Any help here would be appreciated.
[PHP] Problem with PHP in Moodle LMS
Has anyone ever heard of a problem with the Moodle LMS when trying to edit an activity (quiz, resource) in which there is a timeout after only a few seconds and a message saying something to the effect of that the system is sorry but there was a time out, please retry. When I look in the URL I see the following after my domain name: .../course/modeit.php Is this purely a Moodle thing, or something someone can help me with. (I've already searched the Moodle site for information about this error, but can't see anything related to version 2.2.3, which I am using.) Any help would be appreciated. I thought I might want to up the timout figure in the php5.ini file in the root directory of my shared Linux hosting with Godaddy, but I don't think that's really the problem. Regards, Gary
Re: [PHP] Depreciation message I can't make out....
By the way, I told GoDaddy about the # deprecation issue and they told me that I could simply change my root directory php5.ini file. But the error message is related to the PHP.ini file in /web/config, as I said. I could almost hear them shrugging their shoulders, what-me-worry style. If anyone with more might than i could explain this error might affect others when multiplied hundreds of times it could be useful.

[PHP] Depreciation message I can't make out....
Hi, I am running Moodle 2.2.3 and using PHP 5.3 on a Linux server with GoDaddy and am getting the message about "depreciation" after having typed the following command into their cron job manager: /web/cgi-bin/php5_3 "$HOME/html/moodle223a/admin/cli/cron.php" PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /web/conf/php5.ini on line 1256 in Unknown on line 0 PHP Deprecated: Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /web/conf/php5.ini on line 1257 in Unknown on line 0 Deprecated: Directive 'magic_quotes_gpc' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0 Content-type: text/html GoDaddy says that I am using a command that is not adapted to version 5.3 of PHP, but they suggested I contact you to fix it. Also, I do not believe I have access to php5.ini; only they do. But I would need to tell them how to fix this issue. And no one at Moodle.org seems to be able to help. Perhaps it's a Moodle thing; perhaps not, but I thought it wise to contact you. By the way, this message is only sent to me when using version 5.3 of PHP; I have another Moodle site using 5.2 and things go perfectly well, without this message. Regards,
