Hi,
I have succesfully moved my wiki site to another location and upgraded from 1.6.5 to 1.11.0. The new site works well, except for the speed in generating the pages. Even small pages take 10 seconds to be presented; 30 seconds is no exception. In order to try to increase the speed I wonder:
- how can I determine what causes the delay (apache, php, memory, mysql?)
- if it's php, what caching software do you suggest I should use?
thnx in advance
Hi,
I would recommend you eAccelerator ( http://eaccelerator.net/ ). Although it's not the fastest one, the performance boost is big. And it is easy to use. ;) Good luck :)
Small pages taking 10 seconds to load seems excessive to me, suggesting there is some underlying problem. Using an accelerator doesn't seem like the ideal solution.
There is a profiler built into Mediawiki that should tell you where things are running slowly, from there it might be possible to work out what the problem is. I've never used it, but there are instructions here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_debug#Profiling
