1.7.4.2 - I've set up a local copy, how to speed up the admin?

[sk3pt1c]

Hello everyone,

So I've set up a local copy of the live site using MAMP on my Mac for testing before making changes to the live site, it works fine but the admin is super slow to the point of being unusable really.

What can I do to make it faster?

So far, I've delete plugins I don't really need.

Is there a way to make the admin usable?

There are a lot of products in the store, maybe I can remove a bunch of them?

Do I just remove entries from the ps_product table in phpMyAdmin?

Thank you!

Hello,

It's the MAMP environment that needs changing. 

Make sure you go for 127.0.0.1 - no resolving of names.  Also make sure all names and IPs are listed as hosts entries, esp if you are using alternative ports.

You can also try using OPcache.

Your php.ini should be configured to use all resources available. Give it all the space and mem you have available.

Could you help me a bit with these two?

Right now the site is at http://localhost:8888/site sort of by default, do i need to set it up differently somehow?

I've changed the memory limit to 1024 in the php.ini, is there anything else I can do?

I've also enabled OPcache.

Front end loads just fine, back end is still very slow 😕

Ok, I changed the ports in MAMP to the standard ones of 80 for Apache and 3306 for MySQL and that fixed it straight away, damn!

 

Thank you!
