I've been running phpbb for nearly 20 years and my forum has grown quite a bit over that time.
I have over 1 millions posts / 38k topics, nearly 10K users, but relatively modest daily logged in users.
But despite having a new server with increased resources, I'm routinely having crashes with the phpbb_sessions table.
I've looked up old topics on the subject, but haven't found anything especially helpful.
I've tried purging all sessions and then "optimizing" the table in phpmyadmin, but that didn't seem to help.
at one point the table itself was over 1GB in size, but currently phpmyadmin lists it at 351.7 MiB.
(my whole phpbb database is 5.06 GiB)
Are there any other tips or best practices I can try to keep this running reliably (not requiring constant babysitting)?
Thanks so much in advance for any help!
