Content submission taking a very long time

Posted by Problue Solutions on March 4, 2009 at 12:46am

We have started to experience problems with all types of content submission forms on our site, after a user clicks 'save' it sometimes takes a very long time before the node appears and a confimration that the content has been added, sometimes the confirmation never appears and the browser endlessly displays "waiting for www.mydomain.com". If the user clicks away to anywhere else on the site they can see that the content usually has actually been added to the site, but the confirmation and node display never appears. Our server host says the server is definitely not the problem (128MB VPS), and it must be a drupal issue.

Any advice on how we can solve this would be much apprecaited!

Thanks.

I've sometimes seen this related to notifications that get generated on content submission. You may want to try the http://drupal.org/project/queue_mail module and see if it has any effect.

thank you very much for the quick reply.

I do indeed have actions set to send emails on COMMENT submission, but there are no triggers for the CONTENT type submission where i am experiencing the problem, which im guessing would rule this out?

although u may be reffering to something else by 'notifications'?

Thanks again for the reply, really keen to get this sorted :)

No-- that's what i meant by notifications. Probably the next thing i would do is disable all contributed module and see if that makes any difference. If it does, enable them one by one until you find culprit.

Hi there,

I experience the same problem, with about 35s time to save a node, where queries take only 200ms.
I can't figure out what happens, there's no error, no warning. These 30s sound like a php timeout to me, but I can't know where the problem is and why there's this so long wait.

How can I investigate?

[EDIT : SOLVED FOR ME] Well I was on my way to deactivate every modules to know who was the ugly one, and at the bottom of the very very long list, I've seen that I had activated "XML Sitemap Engines" module... which of course was the problem since it tried to send the sitemap on my local install and with my poor connexion I felt in the php timeout

Use XML sitemap 6.x-2.x

My guess is that you're using the 6.x-0.x or 6.x-1.x version of the module. (Insert shameless plug) I'd highly recommend un-installing any previous version and doing a fresh install with XML sitemap 6.x-2.x. It's designed to only do it's intensive processing stuff on cron runs and never in stupid situations like this where it doesn't make sense.
