RC2 - slow & reloads needed

Thursday 06 February 2003 2:02:33 am

Hello,

now it's my time to ask. :-) I just went ahead and did a clean install of RC2 on a basically clean, dedicated Linux server, using the setup wizard.

An error during the setup wizard:
- The system didn't like to install the demo data. I got a zero sized reply. When I unchecked "install demo data", the setup went ahead

After that I went ahead and installed the demo manually (cleared the database, ran the demo sql and untarred var.tgz, ran modfix)

For some reason, the installation is quite slow. Even the pages, that should be cached are not much faster.

My install: http://test3.bizmag.de/demo/
Compare to http://beta.ezpublish.no

Now if I was on virtual host, this is ok, but my install is on a 256M 900MHz basically empty dedicated Linux server (where the previous RC ran quite fast).

Also, occasionally I get an error message from the system ("debug presented below...") and if I hit reload it works fine.

Any ideas?

Did just that. Extracted the tarball, created the database and then ran the WWW install wizard. The only thing I left from RC1 was the rewrite directions in httpd.conf.

Could that be the reason for those many irregular (and weird) eZ publish fatal errors?

Thanks, good luck to everyone else who is trying. :-)

Upgrade -- good question! In particular since rc2 comes with significant changes in the underlying data model (table ezcontentobject etc...). As far as I see, there is no db-upgrade script for rc1-users so far.

Thanks for your hint, Tony. Now, after some rather nasty "hands-on-tables", I finally came to see a running rc2. The performance issue mentioned above in this thread seems to be a real problem, though. My rc2 is definitely much slower than my rc1 was, even after having abandoned all ezp-installers around and after having activated any possible caching within these dozens of new ini-files ;-). I think there are some loops too much inside the kernel ...hm.
