My shoestring budget startup company will be launching a new web application and we are installed on a cloud server that we can instantly upgrade to higher memory and cpu power. Our hope of course is after launch, we slowly start increasing traffic higher and higher and higher...and so I need to be ready to

1) closely monitor traffic and use of our servers, so we know when to push the button to increase power (We will do this with Zenoss.)

2) Increase my server memory and cpu power (This I can do with the touch of a button)

3) tune our server (centos,apache and mysql) to take advantage of the memory and power. ( I need help here)

Now, to prepare for all that, I also want to:

4) Install and configure a server load testing software so I can run some load tests on the server- again so I can practice steps: 1,2,3.

I have begun researching free options for server load testing:

And it looks like the 3 most popular (free) options are:

Apache Jmeter

OpenSTA

Webload

But they all look a bit complicated to setup and use.

For this project you will:

Install and configure a Load testing software on a server. I will arrange the server resources after we discuss the best options. If we need something powerful we can use a cloud server. I would like to be able to simulate any conceivable number of connections (200-200000). I want to know exactly at what point my server will croak.

You will also provide me step by step instructions for how to tune up Apache and MySQL so if I increase my server power from 2GB Ram to 48 GB of Ram, I can quickly tune Apache and MySQL to take advantage of that power. (For example how do I increase maxclients from 150 to 500? How do I decide the max clients?). I will then run a load test to confirm the new settings really work.

## Deliverables

I would prefer someone who can communicate over Skype so at some point we can discuss the implementation of all of the above and I can ask questions. I learn very quickly and I would really love to work with someone who really knows this technology and enjoys explaining it- because I will absorb your knowledge like a sponge.

My server has Cpanel installed. You can have root access if needed.

If we work well together this will easily lead to more work in the future. We are watching pennies here as we are currently on a shoestring budget, but if things go well after launch- we will be able to be more generous with projects like this.
