Re: [mv] Why is MiniVend so slow??
****** message to minivend-users from "Keith Pettit" <keithp@censoft.com> ******
To be hones I'm not sure what it's using, it's just a tab seperated file as
far as I know. Whenever I would make changes to the database I would just
use Excel and export as a tab seperated file. I used the default for the
basic setup. If it'll make much difference I'll make my switch over to
MySQL alittle sonner. I was just trying to get the majority of things setup
before I switched over.
Thanks a ton for taking the time to look. I don't know if you noticed but
our main page pull up in a sec or so, and I'm running some php, and cgi
scripts that have pop right up with no delay. I just can't figure why the
preformance would be so slow on MiniVend. I keep checking the resources and
it never goes up above 5 percent.
