Alain Sahli	Monday 01 December 2008 9:20:05 am Hi all, I created a repository for a eZ Publish project. Each developper has its own local httpd server but the database is shared on a server. The problem is that this solutin is VERY SLOW ! Which is the best way to manage an eZ Publish project with subversion ? Thanks for help.

Arnaud Lafon	Tuesday 02 December 2008 1:08:49 am Hi Alain, we, at SQLI, are working the same way you are. Only one development database for all of our developper... but we don't have any performance issue, so there are several things to check : network connection, MySQL server configuration, write permissions on each apache instance and ezpublish var/ directory... I think the problem isn't due to subversion itself. Regards Looking for information about SQLI ? Looking for a new job in Paris ? Please contact me at alafon [at] sqli [dot] com
Gaetano Giunta	Tuesday 02 December 2008 1:13:54 am The fact that subversion is used has most likely nothing to do with the perceived slowness of the solution. In fact, your setup is very common, being welll balanced in terms of developer's isolation and need to work on the same set of content. Factors of slowness are generally: - not enough ram on the developers workstations for running at the same time eZP/php/apache + ide (eclipse?) - the db shared by developers is not tuned at all. use one of the available free perl scripts to get basic hints about tuning a mysql database - disable any antivirus running on developers machines. Antivirus plain kills eZPublish caching systems - never (ever) store the contents of the var dir in subversion. In fact, you will have to set it to svn:ignore - eclipse svn integration is still slow and flaky. I'd suggest tortoisesvn on windows or any other svn client on *nix Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board

Can you get me a link to this perl script ? http://www.wess.ch eZ Publish Certified developer : http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/272583
Felipe Jaramillo	Tuesday 02 December 2008 8:36:07 am We've been looking for a perfect Subversion setup for quite a while. I agree the speed issues you face should not be related to SVN. Our developers have different OS's and sometimes they work away from the office, so having a server environment for each developer was not very attractive. A solution shared by our friends in Commonplaces was this: Use a single development machine. Each developer has their home directory accessible through Samba. They check in/out accordingly from SVN. The dev server has virtual hosts that respond to each developer. eg. developer1.project.company.com. This way you only have one server, one db, but multiple code working areas. When code is ready, developer check in, and the SVN admin approves the code to move into the official dev environment and eventually into production. The VirtualHost and siteaccess take a little time but can be reused. Just thought I'd share this.

Alain Sahli	Monday 08 December 2008 7:31:42 am I tried to optimize my database server but the queries takes always to long time. I give you my debug output : Accumulator Elapsed Percent Count Average ini_load Load cache 0.0159 sec 0.1441% 14 0.0011 sec FindInputFiles 0.0079 sec 0.0717% 14 0.0006 sec Mysql Total Mysql_queries 0.0655 sec 0.5950% 32 0.0020 sec Looping result 0.0012 sec 0.0110% 28 0.0000 sec TS translator TS init 0.0178 sec 0.1613% 5 0.0036 sec TS cache load 0.0064 sec 0.0577% 5 0.0013 sec TS context load 0.0042 sec 0.0384% 5 0.0008 sec Template Total 0.7441 sec 6.8% 3 0.2480 sec Template load 0.3077 sec 2.7934% 3 0.1026 sec String conversion in template resource 0.0034 sec 0.0306% 29 0.0001 sec Template parser: create text elements 0.0095 sec 0.0860% 6 0.0016 sec Template parser: remove whitespace 0.0018 sec 0.0164% 6 0.0003 sec Template parser: construct tree 0.0550 sec 0.4995% 6 0.0092 sec Template load and register function 0.0132 sec 0.1197% 6 0.0022 sec Template processing 0.4362 sec 3.9591% 3 0.1454 sec override Cache load 0.0124 sec 0.1130% 16 0.0008 sec Sytem overhead Fetch class attribute name 0.0002 sec 0.0021% 2 0.0001 sec Fetch class attribute can translate value 0.0031 sec 0.0286% 1 0.0031 sec class_abstraction Instantiating content class attribute 0.0000 sec 0.0003% 2 0.0000 sec XML Image XML parsing 0.0004 sec 0.0037% 1 0.0004 sec General String conversion 0.0026 sec 0.0237% 30 0.0001 sec dbfile 0.0014 sec 0.0127% 13 0.0001 sec String conversion w/ mbstring 0.0013 sec 0.0116% 29 0.0000 sec Total script time: <b>11.0166 sec</b> 11 sec. !!!!

Gaetano Giunta	Monday 08 December 2008 2:38:55 pm Something is definitely weird in your setup, but afaict it is not the db. Look at the following two lines from debug output: Mysql_queries 0.0655 sec 0.5950% 32 0.0020 sec Looping result 0.0012 sec 0.0110% 28 0.0000 sec This means that you spent 0.002 secs executing 32 queries, and 0.0 secs fetching data obtained from those queries. If you sum up all the times listed in the debug output, I feel (without getting my calculator out) that it would amount to 2,3 secs. Are you sure you are not having some external resource pulled in causing the slowdown, such as an ldap or webservice connection? Other than that, slow access to the filesystem might play a role... Is there anything strange in the logs? You could also try the ezenhanceddebug extension, that will give you better insight into the templates you are executing.

Alain Sahli	Tuesday 09 December 2008 12:10:36 am I also saw that the sql query only takes 0.002 sec... But if I use my localhost mysql database the website works perfectly... So I think the shard db is the problem ! I will try the ezenhanceddebug an give you a feedback.

Alain Sahli	Thursday 12 February 2009 7:04:50 am Hi ! I finally found the problem ! The MySQL user is user@% and with this kind of user the server's loosing a lot of time with the name resolving. There's two solutions, either add root@user-ip or modify the my.cnf file and add skip-name-resolve I choose the second solution and now it works fine ! http://www.wess.ch eZ Publish Certified developer : http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/272583
Gaetano Giunta	Thursday 12 February 2009 9:23:22 am Wow! No wonder it took so long to find out - it would have never occurred to me to look into that direction. A good trick to keep in your ninja spells book. :-) Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
