130,000 PHP generated page views, 200 new posts... stable so far.

Rob,
Are you still running your script to shut down / restart MySQL / Apache on a regular basis, or have you turned that off?
It is currently set for every 24 hours - which I am about to extend to 48, then 96 and so on. I'd never get much farther than 4 hours before.
Currently, the server is 21 hours in (ie: 3 hours before daemon restart) and is still at 91% free low memory (started at 91.3%, now at 91.4%). So, in 21 hours of roughly 14,000 pageviews (16,000 per day) at an average 15 MySQL/PHP requests each (SMF uses 12-20 per page) - or 210,000 MySQL/PHP requests in the last 21 hours... all seems to be running well on the Apache end.
I have been having MySQL problems, but that's unrelated to this Apache build (and may be an error on my part for not completing the upgrade of various eCS components). MySQL just goes away from time to time. I've revised my script to monitor MySQL and restart it if it goes away, which has resolved that.
I seriously think that's an SMF/MySQL issue and not related to OS/2 or wAMP, because the same exact thing happened on the Linux box the forums were originally running on.
The one thing I do know is this... AMP on OS/2 definitely is outperforming AMP on Linux. We arent running a 4 way turned 8 way SMP box for these forums (as they were when they were on the Linux box). We are running a single core P4 2.4 GHz CPU with only 2GB RAM.
Anyway, I will post the new script with the MySQL monitoring section added sometime later...
Best,
Robert
