whenever someone open website ..some time it automatically direct them to install page of oxwall software .

i could not find any solution for it


so i am planning to reinstall.. but problem is all of my webste user account n data  will be wiped out


is there any way to keep all data and account with new install ?


what about if i take a backup of database and then delete database then copy them to new installed database and user data ??

it happens, because php script cannot connect to your database, there may be a lot of reasons for that: server limitation, database is down, wrong access details and many more

you can back your website with CPanel web tools

No, this problem is caused by the server, not software;  if you back the whole website and transfer it to the server with the stable MySQL connection, I believe it will solve the problem

sadly  hosting support said it is software side ...

they said me to view this report 

and contact developers

I see, 


but we've checked the issue with our developers and they said it is definitely has something to do with the database connection, because it is not stable

yes you are right .. i did a experiment .. i installed another oxwall website on server with same attribute of database fields.

 after successfull install and i did change in config.php of old website 


define('OW_DB_USER', '....');define('OW_DB_PASSWORD', '........');define('OW_DB_NAME', '.......');


this changed database of old website


and by this the website load time is reduced from 32 sec to 6 sec ( decrement of 26 sec)


but everything of website is gone and i am unable to login either with any account of old database

 or new one

so now what is problem with my original database

original database size is 340 mb 


my website is slow due to database size or anything else in database ?

my main problem is my website keep redirect me to install page and if not it take like 30 sec then it start loading 


it was a just experiment to check if this problem coming from database end ..


so i created a demo website n used its database for my main website and found my website becomes too much faster. 

(both databases are on same server ) 


now i just need to find out


1. that what is happening with my old database  .

2. why it is getting too much slow ?

3. is it due to database size or anything else .

Rahul, 


you don't see anything in your new database because it is empty, isn't it? the loading time of your website depends, first of all, on the server capacities, and second, on the content you browse, because the content can be of a big weight, like photos and other media files.
