Slow response using PHP/Apache

Post by cruse »

I'm using APache and PHP on Win98. Sometimes refreshing pages will take up a minute or so. Even starting IE/locahost page is sometimes slow.

Are there settings I can change in php.ini and/or apache conf ?

Thanks,
Cruse

90% chance it's IE... strange.. i kinda have that problem too, except not just when im running apache.. im also running 98 (se).

and now that i think about it... it happened after i installed apache.. :?

I'd try reinstalling IE, use Opera... or get a new OS

Thanks for the info hob_goblin.

I'm using IE5 but will try IE6 on my new drive.
Maybe that will help. ??

http://www.mozilla.org. Get a browser for real - especially if you're doing web dev. Javascript debugger, DOM heirarchy viewer, tabbed browsing, pop-up killing, awesome mail client, open-source, need i say more?

I like the guy who started opera, one of the founders of the CSS spec, but the comparison is real simple for me:
Mozilla: OSS, free
Opera: Closed-source, ads or $20 (last time i looked)

Mozilla: OSS, free
1) have you ever looked into the code? ;)
2) free to be integrated in the next Netscape release
3) startup time is an albatross around the neck

but this is only an opinion :roll:

No, I have never looked into the code. However, cool things happen when people can. Tabbed browsing, for example, started when some guy took the mozilla code and meant to fork it and add tabbed browsing. The work that he did was so good though, they added it into the browser.
While I agree that there is some feature bloat, the startup time isn't that bad at all, and the preference are well organized. If you don't change anything, you have a fine browser, but if you want to customize it, all the options are there.
I'm no OSS-Linux-GNU-GPL nazi (i'm on win32), I just think that Mozilla is the most convenient of the browsers out there.
