July 21, 201213 yr comment_10596 Hello, I've noticed that MySQL performance was really bad (i.e. took seconds to load simple page) after moving my website from 3rd-party hosting provider to my own server which was running on UniServer. First, I thought that MySQL was badly configured, so I've tried to tweak the config file (mostly upping allowed memory usage, etc.) after reading a few tutorials. It didn't help and reinstalling UniServer to the most recent version didn't help either. Today, I've started measuring the php script execution time and I found out that the problem isn't caused by bad configuration or UniServer itself, but Windows 7's IPv6 issue. Changing from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" when connecting to MySQL (i.e. calling mysql_connect) solves the speed problem. Improving speed from ~1.23 sec to ~0.0073sec. The problem is described in this post:http://www.bluetopazgames.com/uncategorize...host-windows-7/ Why I'm posting this here? This issue is pretty common, but can be easily detected using a script, so I think that it would be great if UniServer could detect this issue after startup. Report
