Hello Oxwall, 


I have Oxwall running on my site, i want to know few things:-


1. If my site members crossed with 1000 or 10000 or more what security deployment has to be made? 


2. How much hosting space and bandwith will be required for this? I have all the option on for my website like newsfeed, comments, photos videos and others. 


3. All the plugins are working till long time? Recently i have used facebook connect plugin but it seems to be crashed or having bug in that. 


4. In my website the users are not online but it appears as online its a bug?

That's up to you. Your website, your choices of what security methods you take. As of now, Oxwall has a lot of built-in security tools. They make it hard for people to crack into accounts, perform XML attacks, and to stop HTML/SQL Injections. So, no worries there. More members don't me security fails, it just means you might be more of a target for hackers. With plugins like "Brute Force Protector" and other security measures in the store, you should be fine.

With no members, on a fresh install you should only need about 512 MB in bandwidth. But as more users and content generate and more requests are made onto your server, you will need to expand.

Plugins are meant to work, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed on the store. This doesn't mean other plugins will collide with another or one plugin can run into a bug however. Just stay in touch with developers and you'll be fine.

Problem with your CRON setup. Make sure your CRON jobs are set to run for every second, minute, hour, day, and month. You can also try loading yoursite.com/ow_cron/run.php

Useful info, well more precisely i want to ask that we have to target 10,000 or 1 million members on our site so what will be the plan for that? 


1. Security plan

2. Site Maintenance & Monitoring plan


Like for suppose we have 1 million members on our site how much expected hosting we required? how much will be the bandwith that is what i want to be cleared. 


And if the members crossed to 1 million what will be the maintenance for the site? Should we have to hire programmer or a big team for this? That is what i want to know..

The software will require optimization: 


for example: breaking down the software to several servers: 

static files on one server

rest of the files one another one

database on the third server. 


And of course that will be all dedicated servers. Not sure about bandwidth


You will probably need 2-3 moderators to manage the users and content. 

One or two programmer familiar with the oxwall code, in case you'll need some customizations to be done. 


as to the maintenance - you'll just need to backup your website in case you run into the issues. 


as to the FB connect plugin, what is the exact issue? please elaborate, provide a screenshot. what fb plugin and software version do you currently have?
