Sorry to disturb you guys

i like to know one thing , what exactly is " httpd " and how it is giving serverload.

My host told me too much httpd made serverload due to that server got restart. I have VPS.

1. How to reduce httpd usage ?
2. what things cause server load ?
Httpd stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

For your next 2 questions try to search as they have been covered numerous times Smile
httpd is the process name for apache, that the process serving the http protokoll -> delivering the webside.

Yes i searched first and when not got any satisfied thread then only raised the question. My Questions are still new and not answered neither by you too.
alirex,
with this information of you there is hardly a perfect answere possible.

The server loads increase if the number of requests increase which adding load to the machine. What are you running on youre vps ?

A chat ? How many concurent users do you have ?
which plugins are you running ?

what where youre last changes to the system ?

Thanx for the reply. I have no such plugins only using ( trashcan forum and Overwiev ) .. VPS is latest and i am running Simple board. Yes my most of the images are hosted on tinypic.com is that can cause server load ?
That could be it imo. I noticed a higher serverload too when the forum has to parse pics from other domain.

Why aren't you using your own VPS for pics? Most VPS plans come with more than enough bandwidth?

Thanx for respond.

I have moved site recently to new VPS from shared host so i was not aware this much , Thanx to point out the problem i will see what i can reduce from my site.
Images on a different server should have little to no effect really. It really depends on how you look at it but shouldn't cause problems.

There a few ways of truly optimizing mybb but the ones that will have the greatest effects aren't very easy.

I know ryan made a post with a few methods (such as using sphinx for search and what not) a long time ago.

I'm sure labrocca made a post about(this I have no idea about just assuming with him running hackforums and all for awhile).

He forgot the 'D' which stands for daemon. So 'httpd' is the web server system service running on your server which handles HTTP requests. If you have a lot of traffic or your web server is misconfigured, this could contribute to high load.
