Suddenly Admin area slow as hell - Activity Log cleared

[dachilla]

Hiya all,

I have a problem. My shop www.tightshop.de is loading fine, ordering and everything works well, but the admin area ... The loginpage is no problem, parse time 0.09 sec. But everything else takes ages parse time 40 sec +

I have followed the instructions here and deleted the admin activity log but its still the same. Did not find an answer to the problem in any other thread. Using Zen Cart 1.3.8a multilingual. Any help appreciated

try turning OFF the check for update switch in the my store list

[dachilla]

Problem solved!

@Merlinpa: that is exactly what i did before and in the my store area it showed that it was turned off, but when i checked the /admin/includes/local/skip-version-check.ini i just found out that the version check was still on.

Thank you.

If it's off in the Admin->Configuration->My Store menu, then the .ini file setting is ignored.
The .ini setting is only "used" if the value is set to off.
The .ini setting is *only* intended to be used if you can't get in to your admin to turn the setting off.

Well it worked - for 5 minutes and now its slow again. In the admin area its off, in the ini file its off, i am kinda helpless i can not work. Any other ideas?

Hi Dachilla,

Did you ever get this sorted. Mine suddenly started a few weeks back and is getting so bad its almost unuseable. But only the admin area. Everything else works fine. I'm not convinced it is zen cart as my webhosts are ALWAYS changing settings and I've followed every piece of advice about switching off admin settings and optimising mysql tables but nothing works. Unfortunately the parse time does not display in the admin area so I cant check whether the delay is my browser connecting to the server or the server/zen script etc.

Do you have any sales that have recently expired in the SaleMaker?

Christian.

Hi Christian,

No i did have a few sales in there that expired early last year so I just deleted them and switched off any current sales and problem still existed.

Thanks though, I'm prepared to try anything at the moment!

I Figured the problem that was slowing down my admin area. Please see http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120122 for my resolution.
