It depends on what you intend to do with your server. You might want to do opcode caching. By installing eAccelerator.

Standard recommendations would be:

Setting Description Recommended value
max_execution_time How many CPU-seconds a script can consume 30
max_input_time How long (seconds) a script can wait for input data 60
memory_limit How much memory (bytes) a script can consume before being killed 64M
output_buffering How much data (bytes) to buffer before sending out to the client 4096

regarding the server, iam only running a MyBB forum on it.
thank you for these valus, i'll change my file according to them.

You are welcome. Opcode cache mechanisms preserve this generated code in cache so that it need only be generated a single time to server hundreds or millions of subsequent requests.

Here is a link for using it.

Thanks You.
