I need an EXPERT in Linux and Apache. You will be responsible for optimizing a server for high volume. Over the last week my server has been extreamly slow. So slow that I cannot FTP in. The server load is very low, so I assumed it was a DDOS attack and Apache had too many connections but that didn't seem to be the problem. I need someone to do what it takes to get my server back up to speed, figure out if some ip's need to be blocked, configure apache, etc. This project should only take a couple hours and needs to be done ASAP. DO NOT: Bid unless you are an EXPERT in Linux and Apache configurations for high volume traffic.
