[Solved] Ajax slow on Windows server

[Bibihest]

Hi.

 

I have used PS on a Linux server for a while, but I'm moving to a Windows server with Apache now. The site is running fine, the only thing is whe Ajax cart, when I add an item, it takes several seconds to actually float to the cart. On the old server it was almost instantly.

 

Any idears why this is and is there something I can do to improve it? I'm using the exact same shop/files on the new server. Going back to the old server is not an option. Just seems weird that this one thing runs so slow.

I use Windows and that doesn't happen to me. I did notice a bug in Windows related to a slow down in page load time.

 

 

prestashop\config\settings.inc.php

 

I had to change

 

_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');

 

to

 

_DB_SERVER_', '127.0.0.1');

 

Page load went from 3 seconds to 1.

Bill, I love you!!! I have been trying out things for days to find out what was wrong.

 

Thanks a bilion, this made a HUGE different on EVERYTHING. I think it's even faster than on the Linux server now and the add button is instant again.

It really is dramatic for a Windows user. PS should use 127.0.0.1 for the default install. Glad it helped you.
