First of sorry mods/admins if this is the wrong forum for this. Please move it Hey guys, I want to see how my server handles under a load. So If you don't mind, check out my site http://beta.egnpro.net/ Browse around maybe use some features or even sign-up. Thanks, appreciate the help testing! Let me know if any issues arise!

One way you can benchmark the web server by simulating the number of connections/requests. This can be done by using the tool ab.

From 100mbit VPS in Montreal 100 concurrent connections per seconds for PHP/MYSQL pages is fine!

What do you mean by this? Thanks.

Thanks for that link, I was not aware of this tool! Great addition to the arsenal.

What does this mean? That Means it processed with 1000 simultaneous connections not 100 right? Thanks.

Concurrency level means 1000 connections where made simultaneously, but your server could not handle all of them. That's why if you try to open your webpage using a browser when stressing your server with that tool, it might take a few seconds before getting the connection established. From what I remember, the length failed request merely means that 44 request did not have the exact length that your server announced in the header.

ahh, ok, so looks like my server could handle 956 viewers under load lol -- that is without losing much or any QOS.

Just remember those type tools will work but they are only testing specific pages. Once you get users on a site search, surfing, downloading files, etc the number will change. They can give you a general idea but it is nothing like normal load.
