Performance problems

Hi all,

I've been having on-going performance issues with the ez publish system I've been installing for a client. Recently I have tried adding an extensions based translation file, and currently often when I try to load a page that uses the new translations it times out (although sometimes it loads and displays properly).

In the warning.log file I'm getting tons of messages like:

[ Oct 31 2006 14:59:39 ] [207.112.65.134] ezi18n:
No translation for file(translation.ts) in context(design/standard/error/kernel): 'Possible reasons for this are' with comment()
[ Oct 31 2006 14:59:39 ] [207.112.65.134] ezi18n:
No translation for file(translation.ts) in context(design/standard/error/kernel): 'The view name was misspelled, try changing the URL.' with comment()
[ Oct 31 2006 14:59:39 ] [207.112.65.134] ezi18n:
No translation for file(translation.ts) in context(design/standard/error/kernel): 'This site uses siteaccess matching in the URL and you didn't supply one, try inserting a siteaccess name before the module in the URL .' with comment()

My translation file is basically empty.

My phpinfo() is pasted below (quite long).

In addition to this, the system has always been quite sluggish, even though the hosting company moved up to a dedicated server. Does anyone have any idea what might be leading to the general performance problems, and how I might be able to tell the host to fix them (I don't have shell access to the machine its running on unfortunately), or if my translation extension is set up incorrectly?

Thanks for any thoughts!

John

Hi John

I can't see the memory_limit in your phpinfo. So please make sure that this is high enough. On a dedicated server you certainly can spare 64MB or hopefully more for PHP (the default is 8MB wich is often not enough for EZ).

Also check out the tips and tricks here:
http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/improving_ez_publish_environment_and_performance

And check your cache settings - you can improve the speed quite considerably there. Especiallly make sure that the translation cache is enabled.

Also enable full debug output and check the timing points there - anything obvious?

The messages in the warning.log are exactly because the translation.ts is not complete. Somewhere in the templates i18n is called for a certain text and there is no translation in the translation.ts. This should not cause such big problems however so I am not sure what could cause the problem with the translation.ts.
Does the general translation work fine? If not, check the tips in the forum first so speed up your EZ as much possible before worrying about extensions. If yes maybe replace your custom translation.ts in the extension with the one that is provided by ez. If this works now your custom translation.ts seems to be faulty so check that.

Good luck

Claudia

Will try those suggestions, thanks! :-)

You can also try to install the PHP domxml module which should accelerate the generation of translation cache as translation file use XML documents.
