MyBB

hi all, there is something i dont really understand

right at this moment, 10 registered users and 15 guests are browsing my own forum...

at the end of the page i see the stats:

Quote:Generated in 0.1090260 seconds (81.83% PHP / 18.17% MySQL)
SQL Queries: 9 / Global Parsing Time: 0.0598660 / Memory Usage: 3,75 MB

but in reality, the page took about 10seconds to laod until it was really finished...

how is this possible? what can be reasons for this huge delay although the stats pretend that the time was so much lower?

Helpful to see the site you referring to.

IIRC if a page loads from the server that quickly but takes ages to load in your browser, it's just your internet connection, it can't load the page fast enough.

Do you know how to do a 'tracert'??

only 2 noteworthy things: pos(2) was somehow not connecting :ß, and at (9), the 72ms is a bit larger than the others.

i also made a complete pathping for tm-creative.org, about the same values, 0% loss anywhere

Hmm, 26 ms is very quick... but I'm pretty sure it is just your connection as opposed to a MyBB problem. Try unplugging your router and plugging it in again - once I had trouble accessing my forum when all other sites were fine, doing that fixed it though.

well i just have dsl modem, no router attached :ß

but then again, at the moment it works fine.. i must do a traceroute when the forum takes long to load :ß

ok now it happened..

i ran the TRACERT while FF was trying to load the page for 20seconds...without success...

it's important to know what the page starts with

PHP Code:

<?php include_once('/www/htdocs/XXX/includes/language_load.php');
$olddirectory = getcwd();
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
chdir('/www/htdocs/XXX/forum'); // path to MyBB
require_once ("/www/htdocs/XXX/forum/global.php");
chdir ($olddirectory);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
.
.
. 

so the connection to the server was good, but no content loaded :ß ? any ideas ?

Go through each line of your includes and delete them (essentially debugging as you go along).

My guess is you have a memory leak somewhere - for example take out

PHP Code:

include_once('/www/htdocs/XXX/includes/language_load.php');
$olddirectory = getcwd(); 

and then see what the page load is. Do the same with myBB, but with the code above. I know you'll get errors, but hopefully you shouldn't have fatal ones (but I guess it's whatever is on your page). I have the same header setup as you and I found my scripting was causing problems - all I did to fix it was move it after I initiated myBB...

It has nothing to do with MyBB - all MyBB can affect is the page generation time, which you see is very fast for you.

Possible problems:
- Connection (most likely) - if pings are fast, then transfer may be the issue
- The webserver - make sure Apache (or whatever your webserver is) is configured properly
- PHP - make sure it's configured properly
- Does your page load time include images and CSS scripts? Try loading index.php, but download it with a downloader (so it gets no attached files)
