I am currently running WampServer 2.0 on Windows Server 2003 inside a VMware Virtual Machine to host a Joomla site.
At busy times the CPU utilization for the httpd.exe process on VMware is constantly 100% . When I test this at nonbusy times, everytime I request a page from the site, the CPU very briefly spikes to 100% .
So with this, if enough users use the site at the same time, the previous mentioned behaviour would be explained.
I have two questions:
- What could cause this behaviour? - How does Wampserver handle two virtual cpu's. If I tell VMware to add another processor (currently using one at 2000 Mhz max.) would this help, or would Wampserver simply ignore the second processor?
If I need to post more information, please don't hesitate to ask.
let me rephrase it: VMware is a paid soft so might not have too many people using it in order to answer your question, and since it's paid soft, you might want to check w/ them for support
Wamp is not the problem. The problem is more likely to do with Apache (the http server wamp installs). I find it strange you're hosting a live site under a virtual machine tho.
Also Wampserver is not intended for hosting live sites. It should only be used for development/testing purposes.
