Guest Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 We already have a store online on same server and it loads quick, which we have been using MS Frontpage to create all pages (simple and works great). I decided to try OSCommerce and then created an additional subfolder, in which i installed the OSCommerce store. So far everything is working great EXCEPT it loads the store Real slow. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds just to load the front store page. Any suggestions? Here is the information of the server I am on: Server Information Server OS: Linux 2.4.27 Database: MySQL 3.23.58-log HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 ApacheJServ/1.1.2 mod_auth_pam/1.1.1 PHP Version: 4.3.10 (Zend: 1.3.0) osCommerce 2.2-MS2 PHP Version 4.3.10 System: Linux vux11.bos.netsolhost.com 2.4.27 #1 Server: API CGI PHP API: 20020918 PHP Extension: 20020429 Zend Extension: 20021010 mysql Client API version: 3.23.58 I just installed the most recent OSCommerce. Is there anything in the administration control panel that I need to change to make it load quicker? I know it is not the connection as it is on a dual redundant OC3 line, plus my other 'real' active online store on a same server loads instantly. Help please as we want to use OSCommerce, but not if it loads this slow. Our current active store is at http://www.rczonecentral.com Our test OSCommerce store is at: http://store.rczonecentral.com Any help would be appreciated as always.
Guest Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 loads fast here just browsed your catalog. Pages load in sub-seconds. You could also eliminate the categories counts from the osc panel->My Store->Show Cateogory Counts or install some cache related contributions if you have thousands of proudcts.
Guest Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I did some testing and you are right, if I remove the catalog count in the admin control to False, then the pages load a lot quicker. Is there any work around to have a catalog count, but still load fast?
Guest Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Yes, there is, using cache related contributions. Some of them store results in the mysql dbase others in a file. Search the contributions section for cache and backup files/dbase before starting the experiments.
♥Vger Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Well, it's also an unfair comparison. A non-interactive html based site is going to load much quicker than a database driven php site. Vger
