Hi,
I just installed the latest version. But its very very slow. It takes about 15-20 times longer to connect to my local site then to connect to this site. I have other pages on my local serer and they do not a problem.

Anyone have any ideas?
tks

I guess i should say what I am using
apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.2.3
MYSQL 4.0

I downloaded PhpDev from http://www.firepages.com.au/ and it installed apache, php and mysql

Some things you can check:
- Caching is enabled in Exponential
- PHP Acellerator is installed ( or similar product )
- Check that Exponential is enable to create the cache files ( turn on debug to look for error messages )

How fast is your machine?

Can you plz explain in a little more detail
- caching is enabled in Exponential?
- PHP acellerator?
- Check that Exponential is enable to create the cache files ( turn on debug to look for error messages ) ?

My computer is slow. Its a PII with 64 ram so I expect it and everything to be slow but with this there is something not right. I have other tables in SQL that the speed is reasonable based on my computer.
I think it has something to do with MySql(maybe not setup properly) or how Exponential is accesing the tables in MySql. Just a guess.

64MB is a very little to run a webserver/db and ezp. Your webserver is probably completely dependent on swap memory. And as ezp eats at least more than 8MB this behaviour seems quite normal.
