WAMP Server crawling

sphericalcat · 31 Aug 2009 at 17:53

Hi, guys.

My WAMP Server is unbearably slow. Feels like I'm sending stuff to myself via Australia. Does anybody know why this could be, and what I can do to sort it out?

Thanks,

Pav

are you accessing it via localhost or not? Mine can crawl if I access it via no-ip.com redirection as it takes about 20 jumps around the t'internet first....

I'm going through localhost.

Apparently it's a known problem with the CMS I'm using (Drupal) - bits of the core are just slow.

Got to be thankful for small mercies though - it only appears to affect a part of the admin section.

Windows and Apache aren't the best of friends to be honest. I'd be inclined to use IIS if you're going to stick with Windows.

Your best bet would be to setup a little server running centos and apache/php/mysql though... any old hardware should do.
