The fact that your phpinfo.php takes 30 seconds tells
me it is an issue
with your server in general and not specifically your MediaWiki.
1) How many requests/second are you serving and how many is your server
capable of? For example, if your server is only capable of 10 req/sec but
you are trying to server 20 req/sec you're going to have a bad time. Use
Apache's server-status page to get an idea what the current load is and
"ab" (ApacheBench) to benchmark your server (when it is not overloaded of
course).
Apache is not stressed by client hits. This is a new site at this
location & currently no one is looking at it.
2) You can also check "top" to see what your
server load and CPU usage is
and what is taking up most of the CPU time. It may be Apache (httpd) or it
may be a host of other issues (dead locked processes, failing hard drives,
misconfigured components, etc...).
No issues there its a VPS server & all the
hardware is good.
3) Check your logs for any relevant messages, mainly
your Apache error log
assuming it is enabled. You can increase the PHP error logging level if
needed as well.
Now here is a LOT of issues. I found a crap load of requests by
the
mediawiki software to work on several directories where I had not set
the permissions correctly. I went in and changed those & for a day it
speeded up remarkably, however I went in this morning & checked the logs
& there are a LOT of new errors that are similar so I now am looking
into the mediawiki software to correct these errors. Will post my
results: Thanks for the tip, I guess I just forgot to check the basics.
These simple steps should give you a good start on where the problem is or
at least where the problem isn't and you can start narrowing down the issue
from there.
