Hello!
I'm working with a few people on a PHP/MySQL messageboard script that has just been moved to a different webhost from the one where it was developed. The board generates an average of about 30 gigabytes of traffic per month. On the development webhost, the board ran like lightning. On the new webhost, the board is tediously slow, sometimes taking upwards of 30 seconds to actually load the index page.
A few details... both webhosts are using PHP 4.03pl1 and MySQL version 3.23 (stable). PHP is compiled into Apache on both hosts. Both hosts are running Linux. Pings to both webhosts are well under 100ms.
Not sure if this info will help, but here is the phpinfo() output for both hosts:
Slow host:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.digiphobia.com/testphp.php">http://www.digiphobia.com/testphp.php</a><!-- m -->
Fast host:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://64.225.100.62/phpinfo.php">http://64.225.100.62/phpinfo.php</a><!-- m -->
I haven't seen the php.ini file from either host. Both hosts have the site files and MySQL running on the same server.
Given this information, which granted probably isn't nearly enough for troubleshooting purposes, what should I be asking of the slow webhost? Could it be the way the compiled PHP's MySQL support into Apache or would it most likely be something with their MySQL installation?
Just looking for a push in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
