In addition to the previous proposal, use EXPLAIN to check that MySQL is actually using the fulltext index; use ANALYZE TABLE beforehand to ensure that the optimizer has up-to-date information to decide on the index to use (MySQL only ever uses one index). Assuming that the fulltext index is selective enough on your average query, make sure it is used even when the optimizer does not get it by using FORCE INDEX in the query.

Hi, I'm looking for a new host to run a drupal site. At the current host, there are problems with reaching the hourly max_question MySQL limit, which is set there at 50'000, which is too low for my needs, and they are not inclined to change it. The site is not very heavy on bandwith or storage (700M would be fine), but, it being a drupal site, does use a lot of MySQL queries. I also need hourly cron jobs to run (to keep the site updated). Would this be feasible on the starter hosting account?

I am tring to accomplish a url rewrite from say *****/anydir to *****/index.php?id=anydir. To this end I have set up the following in my .htaccess file, and uploaded this file to my www directory. Unfortunately though, it does not work. Actually, I can't seem to get any mod rewrite stuf to work, any pointers? Thanks -- John RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L] RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ index.php?cat=$1 [L]
