Hi
I really like the new Gallery 3.0 beta 2.
Unfortunately the gellery is VERY slow. When I click in the menu it takes 3-5 seconds before a page like /admin/users is displayed. When I browse my photos, it even takes longer.
My server has a lot of power, and 5-6 other websites using TYPO3 are installed on the same server - running very smoothly.
What could be the problem?
Please help...
Regards Goos

I my case it was my hosting company (sity.nl (and their support sucks *** as well)). Did you rule that out?
Should be quite fast unless you run into errors. Did you check your apache & gallery logs?

Hi the hoster should be OK ;-)
My galley log says:
2009-08-20 08:59:08 +02:00 --- error: Uncaught Kohana_404_Exception: The page you requested, combined/javascript/64a8abf40708d2c449343d2bfc90bf17.js, could not be found. in file system/core/Kohana.php on line 841
2009-08-20 08:59:08 +02:00 --- error: Uncaught Kohana_404_Exception: The page you requested, combined/css/0ee9b1fa8d5eb68dbb7eafffe58f9604.css, could not be found. in file system/core/Kohana.php on line 841
And thats true there are no such files...
Apache log no errors...
Any idears?
Thanx Goos

Should've known. Didn't read properly. Did you try the latest experimental version? A lot is changed since beta2
You can find it at http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master
Upgrade instructions can be found here: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Upgrading

Yes, that issue very most likely was fixed after B2 was released.

I tried the upgrader from 3.1.1 on this page: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Upgrading
But no improvement.
The page: http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master is not loading...
Help? Please ;-)

3.1.1? Not familiar with that version seeing as how 3.0 hasn't been released
Try to download from github later, or it might also take a bit as they are generating a zip on the fly just for you If you have SSH access to the server try this:

Thanks. Yes, we're seeing that the generation for the combined JS and CSS is slower than it should be. Could you give us a bit more info about your virtual server's environment?
How much memory do you have allocated to your server? Are you able to see if swap it getting hit?

This is the server: http://www.hosteurope.de/produkt/WebPack-Pro-XL
Most of it should be readable even though it is german...
How do I see if "swap is getting hit"? I don't have root access...
Goos

Do you have SSH access?
If so, try running the free command. Is your VPS managed then if you don't have root access?

Yes it is managed... I have SSH access, but nothing happens when I run the free command... No output.
I also tried this one: cat /proc/meminfo
But I don't have access to that file...
Anything else I can do to find out whats wrong?
Goos

See if your host can either give you access to run the free command or can work with you that at about the same time you are browsing your site. It would be great to see if the swap file is being used.
I know a work around would be to create static JS and CSS files for your theme, but we'd like to try and see if we can fix this.

I wrote to my host, and they say there is no swap file (is that the problem) and they can't give me access to the /proc/meminfo file...
Not much help there ;-(
What else can I do to help you find the problem?
Posts: 16504
I don't think no swap would be a problem unless you are running out of memory. Do you know what the memory usage is?
Are they able to see what the load on the disk I/O is when browsing your G3 install?

Unfortunately I don't have access to that information, and they are not very helpfull at my hoster with that kind of information...

Sorry for the long silence. I'd love to jump in and debug this. Any chance I can get direct access to your system, Okat? I'd want to read/write the Gallery3 code so that I can enable profiling and make some tweaks to see if I can get it to go faster for you.

@bharat: I think you mean goosman (OP). I changed hosts to www.in.nl. Costs more but I actually get support. Wrong PHP version though (5.2.0-8+etch13). Doesn't seem to cause any problems, though.
Unless you want access for the access problem I talked about in "http://gallery.menalto.com/node/90675" but I think I'll reinstall latest experimental including the DB for that one, it's cluttered with data from older updates/versions.

Hi bharat - I would love to, but can't give you access to the server, as there are a lot of customers on this server...
I have a testserver on a similar environment - I will set everything up and send you the info... Could take a few days as I am very bussy these days - but thanx a lot for now!!!

Hi, i run into the same issue, exect that i host my own server and that it is even slow on local access. for sure this is not due to my internal network.
Altough, the stats of my gallery are a bit higher for sure but i don't know exactly where i can get it from. Any advise would be great.
you can access it from here : http://gallery.joebahr.org/
regards,
JoeBahr

@JoeBahr: I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Please refer to http://gallery.menalto.com/node/93000#comment-331814 to enable profiing info on your site and share with me a u/p so that I can log in and see your page statistics. That should help me to understand what's going wrong.

I had the same issue. Gallery on IIS. 6 seconds of abosolutly no system activity everytime to load main.php. Took me a long time to figure out. Go to the SQL server manager network configuration protocols and make sure that the TPC/IP is enabled. Gallery will work with shared memory, so i never thought of it, but it's slow as a dog. MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Also check to make sure you have local host 127.0.0.1 in your HOST file. Gallery does not like the version six ip for that.

First thing, try upgrading to the latest version. You're running RC2 (IIRC)
According to your gallery3/modules/gallery/module.info file
Download for the official release can be downloaded from the home page. Upgrade instructions here:

First, Windows is not a supported server platform. So if it's slow here, there's not a lot of time we're going to invest in troubleshooting this.
The only speed issue regarding Windows that pops to mind was someone who had their sites hosts via a UNC path. Make sure that you are not hosting the site via UNC paths \\servername\share It must be hanging off a drive letter, mapped seems to work just fine.

Apache 1.x isn't supported either.
Ah, just noticed you're using Lunar Pages. Find out more about their setup and how your files are mounted to the server.

I don't have any private messages or emails in my queue so I assume that I did. I get a lot of those requests though so it's hard to keep them straight. Send me the details again if the problem is still happening.
