[mv] MV 3.14 Oddities/Troubleshooting

[Victor Nolton <ven@pragakhan.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Victor Nolton <ven@pragakhan.com>     ******

The old minivend server was on a 350 mhz machine. it still runs SMALL 
stores, and at one point ran big ones as well. It would need 
restarted once a week if that.

The new minivend server is 800 mhz. We moved a few big stores over to 
it. EVERYDAY minivend acts up. People get the message that we're 
experiencing a high system load etc... This is the same machine that 
keeps having problems with the validate credit card (yet it's valid).

My question is, where do I even go to troubleshoot this. I really am 
at a loss for words on this. everything about this machine is much 
faster than the other. More ram, more cpu, faster drive etc..

Is there something I should be looking for in the config. Clients are 
getting ticked, and Im getting ticked cause the server keeps crapping 
out during the day when orders come in the most, plus it's annoying 
to have to keep restarting it. but I dont want to resort to 
restarting it hourly.

Just looking for suggestions. I know with interchange I read you want 
to set the httpd.conf with
    MaxServers   0
    Housekeeping 1
But this was in interchange. Im running minivend 3.14 (debating 
slowing on upgrading). But Im looking for maybe suggestions on apache 
tuning for this or somethign in the minivend.cfg .

Any help would be great. if you want to email me in private you may, 
If I find somethign that works I'll post the solution.
