Hey guys,
First of all, great work! I've been a user of Websitepanel for a few years and transfered to MSPControl. But I couldn't get it to work properly. I must admit, the guys there did a great job at helping me, but I ran into problems over and over again. So I got tired of it.
I finally found SolidCP, installed it and worked right out of the box! Good job so far!
There is just one thing that bothers me so far and that is the speed of the whole site. Every page (no matter what page) will take a couple of seconds to load up. And I can't see anything wrong on the server as of yet. The VPS is a brand new VPS, cleanly installed and updated.
Specs:
Dual Xeon 2.29Ghz
4GB Memory
180GB SSD
Windows Server 2016 (fully patched)
MySQL 5.7
PHP 5.6
At first I thought it was the server or IIS that wasn't doing it's job. I tested it with a basic PHP+MySQL site (Wordpress) and it was pretty fast! I also tried another (simple) C#/ASP.NET website and that was also blazingly fast. So I suspect something is up with SolidCP on our server.
Do you have any idea if I can make it a bit quicker? Configuring it when you have to wait 3 to 10 seconds for every page/link you click is horrible!
Other than that, keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Rene
Hi,
Did you carry out the following for the Portal, Enterprise Server and Server websites:
Open IIS Management --> Click on "Application pools"
- For each SolidCP Application pool click: --> Advanced settings...
- Set startmode to "AlwaysRunning"
- set Idle Time-out (minutes) to "0"
- set Regular Time Interval (minutes) to "0"
- Press save
I found SCP to be a little slow initially as it was terminating the process if unused after the default IIS timeout of 20 mins finished.
However after installing many SCP instances the above does the trick for me, pages load quickly with no issues.
Hello,
In addition to what Ric recommended, i would also double check your enterprise url.
Normally the slowness you describes happens alot when you got portal and enterprise on the same server YET running it over a nic ip (such as your local LAN ip, or WAN ip) instead of the local loop back ip: 127.0.0.1
also double check you got enough memory for mssql (mssql eats up about 1.5 Gb on it's own with ease).

Marco
Hello Ric and Marco,
I tried both your solutions and even though the initial startup is quicker (as expected), the general feel of the site is still quite slow.
SQL Server 2008 R2 (Desktop) isn't using a lot of resources. It's currently sitting at 80MB memory usage and 0% CPU cycles. So I highly doubt that's the case.
Do you guys have anything else I could check or setup correctly? SolidCP works great, but I'd love to get it a bit quicker!
Thank you!
Regards,
Rene
hmmm... afraid not. The server is more than sufficient and I haven't ever run into that problem.
Is it the same when you access the portal locally from the server?
