Hello,

I am running WordPress on Turnkey LAMP Stack (https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack) ISO install. Recently installed last month.

Setup as a guest in VirtualBox on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.

Superfast Quad Core with 16GB ram, plenty of memory and CPU cycles availiable. when it spikes it might go as high as 50% CPU for a second maybe two seconds at times.

I am very new to TurnKey, but not to *nix.

Here are my conf - files.

MySQL Conf File

#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
# It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes
# escpecially if they contain "#" chars...

PHP Conf File

I have attached it, it is just to big for in here.

**Note:

The webmin Web interface/UI works perfectly, it is fast and load very quickly. So that helps narrow it down a bit, just not sure where to start. Any suggestion would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks
