We had a *great* stress test on the server!

200 users at one time and there was zero drop in throughput or any delay in serving a page.

I am really jazzed over it as I was concerened withthe way I had set the Apache webserveer up that serving 100 concurrent users we might see a degraddation of about 10% in speed of laoding. Nope, 99.99% throughput.

I guess I could chase that remaining 001% but I don't think it is necessary. I am confident that if we get 800-900 people on at the same time our servers can handle it.

I have been using ubuntu webservers for a decade and a half now, and, as it is not my hobby or business, I know the *barest* amount. Mostly just the stuff on keeping things running. Setting it all up is a 15 minute process (Your PHP, MYSQL, APACHE and Linux parts), then it is an ongoing process of tweaking and futzing with settings. It is pretty fiddly and I have learned that one typo (Of which I am soooooo prone to), wills crew you over an hour later, where you don't even remember the files you have edited. LOL!

But it's fun, and I like having control over the system, this way I can lock everything down and peoples info stays secure and safe. The optimizing page load speed and stuff, is a PITA, but once I get it to where I like it, it pretty much stays locked in.
