Plesk is very slow

[AbdallahA]

Hi,

I'm running Plesk on a debian 5 server with 2GB memory and Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz, we have just 25 subdomains, and it is very slow to load.

From "ps x" i see lot of processes left by Plest.

/usr/bin/sw-engine-cgi -c /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini -d auto_prepend_file=auth.php3 -u psaadm

Killing these processes things goes better, but still.

Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I fixed my problem by replacing the grsec kernel with a standard one

Nice processor --> not enough RAM though. Generally for between for every 50 DOMAINS you should have 4 gigs of RAM. Read the documentation on server builds for Virtuozzo from Parallels in http://kb.odin.com
you are short 2 gigs of RAM

The problem in my case was mainly on the hard drive performance, seems that there were a problem in the debian5 libata which causes Plesk to run very slow, see http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=100020

Once we solved this problem (by replacing debian 5 with CentOS), Plesk performace is impressive, even with 2GB of ram
