Hello,

Congratulations to the developper team as this 1.5 RC1 is doing great. I did a very easy and smooth migration from 1.5 Beta 2 to RC1. The interface is working perfectly, all the artefacts I've noticed has disappeared, the language (french !) works nicely and so on... I'm doing some intensive testing with a prototype site.

The only strong question : display is very slow. Both back and front. It seems that a lot of stuff is downloaded (Javascript ?). Much slower than 1.0.12 on the same server. Is this a "normal" situation for a Beta or RC state due to some extra debug code ? Or is this a side effect of the new technology ? A bad setup on my server ?... any idea ... any one else with the same ?

Thank you for any feedback or suggestions

Laurent

Hello lcollong and TWDesigns,

How did you migrate from 1.5beta to RC1? I made a school web site using 1.5beta and wanna migrate to RC1. What I did was to backup the Joomla directory in beta and copied the Rc1 files and directories to 1.5 beta so that I could still work on the web site that I develop. Is this correct?

I am still testing the RC1 as of the moment. Congratulations to the developer team!


thanks,

mykle

Hi myklemanz

It is a minimalist site (standard template, no plugins) with several articles, users, customs menus...
Here are the steps I've followed (from a post on this site) :
  • Backup the root directory
    Delete all the files except configuration.php, htaccess.txt and robots.txt as well as "images" directory
    ftp of the joomla RC1 files on the site except install.php and the "installation" directory
    Did not touch the database

And that's it ! It works fine for me but I would not say it is a whatever "recommended" method !  ;) It's just the way I did.....

Good luck

Laurent

good idea to move this topic to the performance section !
the first post show this link : http://www.joomla.org/component/option, ... 105/p,374/ ... very very interesting

I switch from php 4 to Php 5 on my site and the performances grows up dramatically !

(for French user on OVH : you have to insert the following line in the .htaccess file in the joomla root : SetEnv PHP_VER 5)

This is closed so far for me. I'm going to do some tests with the extensions/modules/plugins

Again, congratulations to all the contributors

Laurent

PHP 5.2 will double your performance on the Joomla! installation, see also the conclusions in http://www.joomla.org/component/option, ... 105/p,374/

If you can, switch to PHP 5.2+

Well, I have 1.5.0RC1 and 1.0.13 installed in mirror (on the same exact server, etc), and have only the sample data installed.  With that said, 1.5 seems to be about 20% to 50% slower...
1.0.13 has average load times of right about .08 seconds
1.5.0 has average load times of around .10 to .15 seconds...

Still fast, but definately slower...
(Lighttpd, php 5.2.2, MySQL 5.0.22)  No performance cache at this time (had APC installed until I found out it doesn't like FastCGI)...

Just wait for PageCache2.0... It's coming (and will be 1.5 ready!)...  Initial results are impressive....

Just retry with cache enabled (and don't forget to enable the page cache plugin also). Curious what you get then...

(working on Linux/Windows/Mac?)

Ya know... You gotta be kidding me... It's all good... I'm going to release my component anyway (it's more flexable)... is there a way of turning off the "page" caching feature, and just cache the content (like it is in 1.0)...

If you disable the cache plugin you will have (very basic) caching. When I did my performance testing, you only gain very little by doing so.

Alright, I'm still going ahead with my caching component, because it offers things that the core doesn't (like an API to reset the entire cache (or specific pages) when certain conditions are met (such as a comment added)...

I am pretty sure the API provides it...but this is interesting, can you please PM me and see what your ideas on this area are, looks interesting.

Responded, intersting what you state. Beside the individual commitment, feel free to continue the discussion here. Interesting to see what people are working on, and always happy to explain more on the 1.5 framework

edit: removed typo

Once I get my new server up an running at home (I got a bad memory DIMM, being replaced under warranty), I'm going to do some more "real life" load tests of 1.5 and 1.0 (including server load, memory usage, scalability, etc)...  I'm really interested to see how both perform... BTW, I'm running CentOS 5 on a dual 2.4ghz XEON, 2gig RAM, SCSI U320 RAID 1 IBM server (for the previous numbers, and the new server is identical, except it's 6 u320 SCSI drives in RAID 5)

I did a FireFos tools->view speed report and for me it seems that the mootools.js is a big drag.

If one does not need all the javascript gizmos, can one NOT include this very large .js file?
