MyBB Community Forums

Hey,

I am having problem and can't seem to solve it. I recently moved to a new VPS and this forum has been slow posting. One user said:

Quote:The little disk goes round & round saying it's loading but it never finishes. I did wait awhile to see if this would resolve itself but it's pretty much been going on for about five hours now.

Debug Stats:

Generated in 0.2415180 seconds (29.78% PHP / 70.22% MySQL)

Cheers!

What are the stats of the forum?

Some things you can try:

Upgrade MySQL to 5.5
Install eAccelerator
Upgrade PHP to 5.3

Also, what plugins, if any, are installed?

Hey Malcolm.

We do have cPanel installed and this is the only account on this VPS. cPanel only supports MySQL 5.1 and lower.

Will install eAccelerator shortly

PHP is 5.2.9.

Plugins: http://awesomescreenshot.com/01fgw7rb1

Thanks!

Shame about cPanel - MySQL 5.5 contains a lot of performances fixes.

The only plugin I can see that could slow down the forum would be Google SEO, but for some reason I'm not sure that is the cause.

Can you provide the output of the following?

free -m

I have a feeling it's a backend problem, more than a problem with MyBB itself.

Are there any slow queries logged? Any errors in Apache's log that might be relavent?

It wouldn't be a memory issue as it has 2048MB memory and the node itself is less that 40% of its 16GB used so it has the memory assigned to it and its available.

I don't see anything in the Apaches log nor in any error_log. Really weird this.

I have the same problem.

Still having his problem.

It's the interaction between the script and database. Take a look at the difference between the PHP and MySQL load times - you can expect a normal sized forum to operate at around 60/40, not 30/70.

If you post normally via the full post form, does it still hang?
