I’ve got XAMPP installed on my Windows 7 Computer. I’ve been developing on it

  • 0

I’ve got XAMPP installed on my Windows 7 Computer.

I’ve been developing on it for a while now but my development has come to a grinding halt because XAMPP is rendering my PHP pages really slowly.

It’s running so slowly, that it’s exceeding the 30 second time-out limit that I’ve got set in the PHP.ini file.

I don’t know what it could be that has all of a sudden prevented it from running properly.

I’ve tried the following:

  • Reinstalled XAMPP and copied back my MySQL database files and website files
  • Deactivated my Antivirus/firewall after reading articles that this might do the trick

But to no avail.

Could it be that my MySQL database is corrupted?

It’s not that my MySQL queries are slow, because I’ve got the exact same version of code live on my website.

I’m just looking for suggestions to rectify it so that I can continue the development.

This is the last bit of the MySQL error log

    I used to have the same issues with PHP on xampp. After a while it started slowing down, there was no reason for it (code, mysql, apache were all fine).

    The way I had gotten it to work was via xampp’s command line interface. I had switched the networking interface from v4v6 to just v4; and that that had done the trick, then shortly after it slowed down again… so doing the v4 back to v4v6 fixed, but again worstened.

    So, after working with xampp for a number of years, I found that wamp worked best and has no issues on Windows 7.

    Download wamp; it’s only 16mb too (compared to xampp’s 44mb).
