[Phpwiki-talk] sudden, strange wiki slowdown

[Geoffrey L. W. <ge...@no...>]

Ack!

Apologies for that last message.  Inadvertently hit the send key before the
proper time.  Not a particularly eloquent first post to the list...

Now on to my little issue:

I'm a recent convert to PhpWiki.  We just set up 1.2.2 at work, and in a few
short weeks it's become indispensable.

I'm now in process of setting up PhpWiki on my personal domain using 1.3.2.
 I installed it several nights ago and it went w/out a hitch.  Install
process was nice, easy and well-documented.

But mid-today I started noticing a bit 'o strange lag every time I accessed
the wiki.  Basicly, page loads now take 3 or 4 seconds, whereas before they
we quite quick.  If you're interested, you can witness the effect first
hand at:
http://www.northernwastes.org

Here are several useful things to know.

1 - I host several other domains on this machine.  Everything else seems
healthy.

2 - I run SquirrelMail (http://squirrelmail.sourceforge.net), and it too
seems to be functioning properly.  So nothing seems _grossly_ wrong w/my PHP
setup.

3 - I'm using MySQL as the back-end.

4 - Neither MySQL, Apache nor PhpWiki are reporting any errors.

5 - Upgrading to the most recent nightly snap doesn't change the problem for
better or worse.  (Although I really dig the OS X theme...)

6 - Backing up the wiki, then nuking the database, then rebuilding it
doesn't change anything.  A brand-spankin' new wiki has the same problem.

7 - I'm running Debian/Woody.  apache-ssl, php4, php4-mysql, php4-pear and
mysql-server are all apt-installed.

8 - I've reinstalled the PhpWiki code and reconfigured the index.php file
several times to make sure I haven't kludged anything there.

9 - I can't think of a damned thing that I've changed on the box before the
problem started to occur.  I don't _think_ I upgraded any related packages.
 (or any packages at all, for that matter...)

Any thoughts or constructive advice?


Many thanks,
