Drupal6.2 slow running problem

We have the same problem. We have absolutely no clue how to solve it :s

We are running PHP 5.2 on IIS 5.1 or 6.0.

The site itself works perfectly fine, but the administrator module takes 15 seconds to move to the next link!!

Also a module can't be added. We can add it and click save, but then the entire administer stuff shows white (blanc) pages... Nothing we can do... Only solution is too delete module from the directory...

Hi i have nearly the same experience with the 6.2 installation. I try several combinations:

- use vmaware host: vistasp1 guestst: ubuntu 7.10 lamp php5.2 mysql 5.1, apache2
- WAMPserver 2.0c local insallation
- Xamp lates buil local installation.
- WAMP on a remote windows 2003 server

In all casess drupal runs extramly slow. Some cases no response at all.

On the same configuration, i install 5.7 without changing other parameter, it runs very fast. After 2week i give up up and go back to my 5.7 version.

Sory i have no more log files, but if need i can just install wamp and drupal and provide the more detail information, just let me know what you want.

i have same problem as you

Win XP
Wamp server 2.0c
Drupal 6.2

-------------------
after opening admin pages localhost/drupal-6.2/?q=admin of the fresh new inslated drupal 6.2 (and wamp server too) I see just blank page (white screen) (Opera, FF and IE7). There is no souce code.
-------------------

What I should to do?

but drupal 6.2 is faster for me !!!

I am having a performance problem that does not seem to relate to any of the points mentioned before:

I'm running Drupal 6.3 on Bluehost and the access to the website runs quite well with Firefox.

The long time it takes to load and render pages with Internet Explorer 6 is unacceptible. So not just with Admin pages but all page access suffer from that. I did not check if IE7 is different from IE6.

Putting all Drupal performance possibilities (cache, ...) into action does not help a lot.
I also increased the PHP memory from 32M to 64M without any result.

This behaviour I never saw with Drupal 5.x!

What could be the reason for IE6 behaving like this?

I recently ditched XP as dev AMP OS, I run LAMP within VMware in VMplayer on XP. Really, a Lamp VMsession with 512K of memory on XP as a host runs Drupal loads faster than all Xampp/Wamp/Whaterveramp installed on XP or Vista with 3G of memory in my experience.
To ease filetransfers you can use Samba.
If you can't/wont build a VM yourself, search for "lamp" in the Virtual Appliance Marketplace: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/, there are plenty of 'em around.

I spent days searching and trying to figure out why drupal was running so slow on Mamp all of the sudden.
I didn't realize when I reinstalled my MAMP server I lost the mysql my.cfg settings.
Please double check and setup you my.cfg file correctly.

Setting the my.cfg file by duplicating "my-huge.cfg" to "my.cfg" did the trick.

Please check out this link to help instruct you on the process.

Hope this helps someone!!!

It did for me.

Changing the MySql table type from InnoDB to MyISAM made a massive difference to me. I wrote a little script to automate changing the table types for other Drupal DBs I've got:

$dbAddress = "localhost";
$dbUser = "mysql_username";							 		 			 			
$dbPass = "mysql_password";
$dbName = "db_name";

print('DATABASE = '.$dbName.'<br />');

function queryDb($sqlStr)
{
	mysql_connect($GLOBALS["dbAddress"], $GLOBALS["dbUser"], $GLOBALS["dbPass"]) or die('Error: Cannot connect to database');
	mysql_select_db($GLOBALS["dbName"]) or die('Error: Cannot select database');
	if($result = mysql_query($sqlStr))
		return $result;
	else
	{
		print('Query failed: '.mysql_error());
		print('<pre>'.$sqlStr.'</pre>');
		die();
	}
}

if($result = queryDb("
	SELECT TABLE_NAME, ENGINE
  	FROM information_schema.TABLES
  	WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '$dbName'
"))
{
	while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
	{
		print('TABLE_NAME = '.$row['TABLE_NAME'].', ENGINE = '.$row['ENGINE'].'<br />');
		//queryDb("ALTER TABLE ".$row['TABLE_NAME']." ENGINE = InnoDB");
	}	
}

Just setup the username, password and db name at the top, check the output and then uncomment the call do queryDb() in the while loop when ready.
