[Closed]: What version of PHP is coppermine written in?

[ss3vegeta]

Over the last month or so my galleries have been running ridiculously slow.  I contacted my webhosting company today (1and1.com) and was told that the sites are running slowly because the code is outdated and it needs to be ported to PHP5.  This doesn't make a bit of sense to me because the sites worked perfectly a month ago, and I haven't changed anything. 

So my question is; does what the webhost told me make any sense?

I'm sorry for the second post but I did not see a way to edit my previous one.  I am running 1.4.18, but will be upgrading to 1.4.19 today to see if it helps resolve this issue.

Good idea, and post a link to your gallery

I've updated to 1.4.19 and am still having pages that take forever to load.  For example the login page takes 30-60 seconds to load.  I don't see how using an older version of PHP would make that big of difference on load time.  These pages use to load in less than a second. 

As for publishing my site information, I'm sorry but I don't do that for several reasons.

1.  The site requires registration.
2.  The directory is htaccess protected.
3.  It's a very small and private family website.
4.  The last time I posted the information for a cpg site on this forum I had to change domains because someone kept trying to hack my site.  Not to mention a crap load of automated registration requests.

Besides the question really doesn't require that information.  All I want to know is if cpg is coded in php 5.0.0 or higher.   Although I don't think its realistic that within a month my site could go from running pages in less than a second to taking forever to load.  Especially since the server has had php5 for the past couple years.

PHP apps are not coded 'in' any specific version. The question is meaningless. Enable debug mode in config and you can see if the slowness is caused by PHP or (more likely) by an overloaded MySQL.

Have you checked with your webhost to see if there are problems on the server end?

I was having problems with slowness on my site a few weeks ago. I happened to be speaking to my webhost about another issue at that time and he mentioned he was busy trying to figure out what was causing the server load to go through the roof. It turned out, he said, to be someone's database needing to be "optimized". After they got that done, he said server load returned to normal - and so did my site loading time.

MySQL was my guess as well because every site I have that has MySQL interaction is running slow.  I tested some rather lengthy php4 syntax scripts and they were very quick.  I'm not quite sure what to check in the debug mode, I mean I'm not quite sure what will tell me about the MySQL interaction.  I'm basically absolutely sure that its and overloaded MySQL server because since my first post I've been getting error messages that say something about to many connections (MySQL). 

Thanks for the reply.  As I said in my first post I didn't think what I was being told made any sense, but I thought I'd better ask some professionals before I took the issue further with my webhost.

Thanks for the response.  Yes I have now contacted a tech supervisor and notified him of the issues.  I'm hoping he resolves the issue soon.  If not I think I'm gonna switch over to http://www.inmotionhosting.com/ and hope they provide better service.

It's that your website? It looks like to Coppermine Support Forum
