The board is slow..

[Ron Worley]

Is it just me, or is the board server just slow as hell?? I have a 15 Meg FIOS connection, and it just crawls......

Perhaps this should be moved to the general area, sorry!

No it's the board. Omar is having issues with his host. I'm sure he'll take care of it soon

Hi guys,
Yes, I have been trying to get the host to address the issue but I'm getting the run around. They are trying to blame it on a database issue or configuration issue but I don't believe that that is the issue. Anyone know how to run a check on a MySQL database so I rule that out?

Hey Omar,

could be a missing index that slows down queries. The more rows an SQL query has to go through the slower it gets. I believe phpbb would take care of that but then this version seems to be a bit dated, so who knows...

Anyway, if you're willing to give me an SQL dump of the DB and the forum sources I'd be more than glad to check if the slowness is caused by a missing index.

Cheers,
Tobias

After reading up on the php support forum, I used phpMyadmin to run a Check Table and Optimize Table. I checked quickly and it seemed like the fourm was responding better, but the problem has a tendency to come and go so the testing is far from complete. Do you think that would make any difference?

tob - I can give you SQL dump, just let me know what I need to do to create it.
