Hello,
I am a host and a client using zen-cart is causing ongoing issues with very heavy server resource usage. It seems to be heavily MySQL based and causes a lot of sleeping processes on the server. Eventually this causes the server load to rise unacceptably.
I've found the version number in the database as 1.39g. This looks to be considerably older than the current version available for download.
Can anyone here advise if an upgrade will likely bring any major improvements to this issue.
I have noticed that the script also saves many many thousands of files in the cache folders, which consumes vast amounts of disk space causing my client problems. This seems disproportionate to the number of products on the store (approx 2000). I read that it is possible to change to a database caching system instead, but frankly given the existing MySQL issues, this does not seem like it would be helpful here.
I'd appreciate any advice on whether an upgrade is the path to take, or any other insights on configuration issues that may assist.
Thanks,
Kevin Martin
