you should never alter machine key or encryption key at all, but users may need to clear local browser cache and cookies for the site, if it is not already expired.

Speed up your DNN Websites with TurboDNN

Hi,

I know it is useless discussion. I understand that more memory is more optimal. However, a PHP site with MySQL will run on a 1 GB box without any problems. For testing purposes we allocated 8 GB of memory to the VM. It seems that only the full text search is working better and returns faster its result. With 2 GB is sometimes times out. The overall memory consumption is the same and still there is a same page file. I would expect the OS to be smart and allocate most of the memory instead of going to page to disk. The overall site performance is the same and therefore do not understand why more memory is better? Additional 8 GB does not make a technical difference in terms of performance. So why pay for 8 GB of memory every month? I know that a separated SQL and IIS webserver make a difference in performance. However, if you combine both on one machine performance with tons of memory still performance is less. I do however not want to spend more money on a second box. The PHP/ MySQL architecture sample is quite painful.

I've gotten some feedback from Chad, who believes his issue was not related to DNN5.5.1.  So with this information and the fact in testing I can't see any issues I'm going to make the jump and upgrade the site to DNN5.5.1 sometime next week.    If I find any issues then I'll post back, otherwise you can assume everything went OK.

Regards,
Dave.
