I'm sure this is a pretty open question, but I am looking for minimum server and disk requirements for Snitz forums (size of av. posts)
Has anyone posted these somewhere?
Thanks for you help in advance |

Yea,
I have the same question ......I've read all the FAQ's
and the readme's and I found nothing......Yet .....
What sort of hardware should I start with PII or a P4,
half a gig of ram, disk space, etc .....
What OS is suggested? NT 4.0 WKSTN or Server, XP Server?
I know I have to run an access database so what do I need
to have? Can I use an older copy of Access or does it have
to be something that runs under a Server OS?
Just wondering !?!?
Any help is appreciated!! |

This archived post may give you some insight on database size and traffic. How big is your db?
quote:
System Requirements:
IIS 4/IIS 5.x or PWS(Personal Web Server) on WIN95, WIN98, WIN ME, NT4, WIN2000 or WINXP, or an ASP Enabled Web Server on a Unix System (the forum has been tested on Chili!Asp), Microsoft Access 97/2000/2002 or SQL Server 6.5/7.0/2000 or MySql version 3.22 and 3.23

The forum itself barely has an overhead. You really just need a machine with IIS and a database engine. As with anything net related, it will come down to the speed of your net connection.
A P4 2.4 with 1Gb ram and a 120GB disk will be more than adequate to run everything. IIS with SQLServer. You'll find the sqlserver hardly even gets stressed. |

| You could actually get away with an old throw-away box to run a snitz forum on, I had one for ages running on an old PII233 with 256MB Ram and a 540Mb drive, ran a treat and was used as a little forum on an intranet it used MS Access as the DB which iirc was around 100Mb when we finally turned the forum off, probably had 20-30 posts per day. |

| Up until yesterday, my forum ran on a Win2K MSSQL 733/128MB/20GB 7200RPM single drive system. 50-60 concurrent users, over 500 posts and 10,000 reads a day. Performance wasn't great, but it got by. |

Thankx Guys !!
I'll go find a small PC to run it on ..... it's gonna be a
private forum with like 20 users so I'll toss it on a PII
with 128 and 10Gig ..... it'll be an interesting experiment.
Cheers'

Snitz is a pretty resource intensive if you have a busy forum.
My hosting service complains about the RAM usage from Snitz all the time to me.

| Snitz out of the box isn't overly resource intensive, as a host myself I would have to say 99% of the time its MOD's that start increasing the resource usage, with some MOD's you really need to double check carefully that they're playing nice .. ie destroying objects etc. |
