Hi All,

I am using jump.cgi with static pages. There are about 2000 links in my database and the site gets 20k daily hits. Recently I got a message from my host saying "We have had to suspend the file /home/yourdomain/public_html/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi as 14 instances of it were initiated at the same time and it was sending the server load through the roof and having an impact on other users and the other sections of your website."

Because my host disabled my jump.cgi, I have to use actual URL and can no longer track clicks of links.

Anything I can do to keep using jump.cgi without overload the server?

Thanks in advance.

Long

Use modperl to load the jump.cgi into memory!

Speedycgi may be an even better option.

Regards,

Clint.

Why would SpeedyCGI be better?

------------------------------------------

Purely on the basis that it appears to be easier to setup, and more importantly (for some) you do not need Root access to install it.

I thought that was the case with SpeedyCGI....Okay, thanks.

If only 14 instances of jump.cgi were screwed up your shared hosting server, I would seriously recommend moving hosts, or getting a dedicated server. Many people run literally hundreds of jump.cgi's instantaniously, without problems.
