handling 100's of users!

[vishane]

Hi guys,
I have 20,000 Registered users, and I am looking for a server to handle minimum 500 users online on a single phpBB forum.Thats the only thing on the server will be hosted with a default phpBB install. Please suggest any plugins mods thats I can install on server to make it faster and avoid huge loads? Any other advice will also be appreciated.

I would advice to get a dual processor or dual core server with fast disks and 2GB RAM. Install lighttpd with FastCGI & PHP. Compile xcache into PHP and it works well with lighttpd & fastcgi. Run MySQL 5 with a tuned configuration and use tuning-primer to assist with tuning your my.cnf; -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
