Slow Site | Forum

Got a question, my oxwall site is very slow. I read something at one time to turn off dev mode? Where might that be? Im on a shared server and my other sites are still running fast so i know the issue is only connected to my oxwall site. Also why after plugin updates do i get db errors? and the admin page gets stuck on the error page and site comes up white. im running version 1.8.4 php 5.4. Is there by chance something is not enabled in my php that would cause any of this? http://www.stangdrvn.us

You need to update to php 5.5 which is now required.  


Also dev mode is located in the ow_includes folder and the file name is called 

config.php  look on the very bottom of the file you will see there is text there to tell you which section to change 


    define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', false);

    define('OW_DEV_MODE', false);


make it true to turn it on and false to turn it off.   If it is already true then yes that is why your site is so slow. 


please refer here for requirements (right side of page) http://www.oxwall.org/hosting


and also run this free plugin to check your server. https://developers.oxwall.com/store/item/1356


ps.  I had a 1967 stang for many years :) love um...

Yeah thats a bad thing, never have both of them on at the same time.  Glad you got it fixed and thanks for letting us know.

So keep debug on an dev off? and my php was at 5.5

you need to keep them both false unless you are using one of them.  i was just saying only have one set to true at any one time not both. 


debug will show you errors, dev will allow you to refresh your cache.  Use them independently not both.
