My CPU reach 100% while active 20 user .
Congratulations! That is one would call perfect planning.
I don't see a question though. Please check the information in the header of this forum first.

No operating system at all? I ask you because this is what the introduction to this forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596 says: "Please include as much background information as possible about your hardware, the operating system, the web server, the database server, the PHP scripting framework, etc."
> And our testing team while run load test the server CPU usage reach 100% while 20 user concurrently attempt the quiz.
Could you, or the testing team, post that report here? We all interested to know how Moodle perform in practice.
BTW, if your enviromnet is Microsoft only, there is a different forum, the "Windows-based servers" forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=6799. I can shift the whole discussion to that forum if you wish. Just send me a message.

Test Design:-
Total users : 20
User Load : 2 after every 1 sec
Run Time : 30 mins
Hi,
So what i want to know what hardawre configuration should be required for cocurrently 100 users. So that cpu usage never reach 100%.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
I'm the wrong person to answer questions on Microsoft Windows, I'm sorry. I hope someone more knowledgeable will come to rescue.
More bad news: There was a dedicated "Windows-based Servers" forum which was scrapped very recently: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=218412&parent=951048.
From what I've heard a) Windows 7 is not a server operating system b) XAMPP is not meant for production use. I qoute: "The default configuration is not good from a securtiy point of view and it's not secure enough for a production environment - please don't use XAMPP in such environment." http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
P.S. Sorry for what happened to your other post: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=218411. I need to clarify where it should go now.

Hi,
Sorry but i did not get you. IF YOU COULD NOT ANSWER ME OR TOOK ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.SO WHERE I HAVE TO SEARCH ON.
thanks
Search term: 'hardware recommendations' if on Moodle.org.
Google: same http://bit.ly/106WF3L

Would think that sending a script at a quiz might not really provide 'real world' usage - depends upon script. Wonder how quickly any user could take a 20 question quiz - 2 seconds per question? But ... that aside, quiz is one of the heaviest in regards to processing in Moodle.
Recommendations one sees for memory is a forumla. To make this easy ... max out the RAM on it ... whatever the box can take.
Running 64 bit or 32 bit? That's another factor. Not so much for apache but for DB.
Consider running a virtual OS where one could increase memory or number of cores easily.

Hi Roc, the main answer is that XAMMP is not meant for running a production system, its not built or tuned for that. The second part of the answer is that Windows 7 is not a server operating system, and also not suitable for the use you are using it for.
You will want to set up an actual windows server and set it to run via IIS. There is a good guide for that here: http://keshwarsblog.com/2011/how-to-install-moodle-2-0-on-windows-server-2008r2-with-mysql/
Hi Micheal,
If i use IIS how does it impact on CPU Usage? Or currently i have 20 user simultaneously and i have to reach this limit 100 users.
What kind of server should be i mean (ram and processor)
Currently (4 gb ram and dual core processor)
Just to chime in, I had the newest release of moodle running on a 4.2 Ghz Quad Core, with 8 GB of ram. Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, IIS, MySQL, and PHP 5.4 (I believe it was 5.4), and really had very poor results... I then created a Hyper V virtualized Ubuntu 10.04 server, allocating 1 core at 100%, and 2 GB of ram, and I have had no issues since. Truthfully, if you wish to succeed at that amount of concerent users, you should switch to a linux box.
What you currently have, running in a LAMP environment, will blow your mind by performance difference. Atleast it did in my situation.
Hi Gerrit,
Thanks for your answer. How many user you have which can cocurrently access your site with linux configuration.
Hi ,
I am thinking to move on ubuntu with moodle 2.2
Which version of ubuntu should be used.
Thanks in advance
Hi roc
- If Ubuntu and for professional use, take the server version http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server, the command line version without a graphical user interface.
- If on state-of-the-art 64 bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 hardware the 64 bit version of Ubuntu is right.
- For long term stability 12.04 LTS (long-term support) is highly advised.
I wrote down a set of instructions starting from the installation of Debian/Ubuntu here http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Installing_Moodle_on_Debian_based_distributions (don't let the /22/ in the URL distract you, those instructions are valid for all Moodle versions between 1.6 and 2.4.) Your feedback is welcome.
For Moodle unrelated problems with Ubuntu there are plenty of support forums, news groups, local user groups, etc.

Hi Visvanath ,
Thanks For Your fast reply. I will install soon and i would like to share my experience after this.
Thanks
Hi roc
You're welcome! I'm keen to get feedback from the users.
As already mentioned, for the components unrelated to Moodle you should consult other sources. During the installation of Moodle the correct forum is "Installation problems". See for example https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=217081.
If performance related this forum (Hardware and Performance) is the right one. Please start a new discussion though.
