Warming up the cache - failed setup #729

Closed RichardNeilson closed 8 years ago

RichardNeilson commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I have been having trouble installing partkeepr (1.10) I haven't tried using it for quite a while as there was a couple of issues that caused me a problem but now look to be resolved.

I tried to upgrade to 1.10 but after a few problems decided to do a clean install, new file upload and database. I am trying to install it on my outside hosted server (the same as our website runs on)

The setup seems to go ok apart from a yellow warning in prerequisites for PHP settings :

Symfony2 : a PHP accelerator should be installed Install and/or enable a PHP accelerator (highly recommended).

PHP APCu cache not found For best performance install the PHP APCu cache

Unfortunately I have now control over the PHP install on the server.

It then fails at Setup 2/2 when warming up the cache. Is this due to the earlier yellow warning? Is there something I can look at to resolve this?

Many thanks for any help.

Richard

Does it take very long to complete the step "Warming up the cache"? If so, the performance of your server is too low. Warming up the cache generates quite some disk I/O. If you have no control over the server, you're in bad luck - any remendy to the issue would involve adjusting PHP settings, like increasing the max_execution_time directive or monitoring disk I/O on the server.

Thanks for the quick response. It takes 40 seconds from starting warm up to showing the error. No, unfortunately I have no control over the server. Has something put more stress on the disk since around version 0.75-0.76. It used to run an older version ok but then maybe something has changed server side?!

It's hard to tell but a well-configured server should take no more than 5-10 seconds to run through the Warming up the cache stage. Even on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a slow SD card this takes only about 50 seconds.

RichardNeilson commented 8 years ago

Ok. Would it still pass the setup on the Pi3 at 50 seconds then? 10 seconds longer?!

Drachenkaetzchen commented 8 years ago

Yes, because the Raspberry Pi hat a maximum_execution_time of 240 seconds. The timeout isn't defined by PartKeepr, it's defined by your PHP configuration.

Ah, of course. Thanks for the help. Guess I'll try to get the hosting company to check it out but I'm not holding my breath!
