zend community server very slow on first request with OS X 10.6

Question

I have installed Zend CE 4.0.5 for php 5.3 on my Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard osx 10.6.

I use this setup for my local development environment.

When I haven't done a request in a while ( > 20 mins) or after a reboot, the first request takes quite some time to respond. Maybe 45 seconds. After that initial lagged request it acts as expected, replying with web-pages very quickly.

To try and fix the problem I have so far set the directive "HostnameLookups Off" in /usr/local/zend/apache2/conf/httpd.conf. It hasn't helped.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I had this issue as well, but only when using Safari. I don't understand the logic behind it, but Zend Server requests are sent as I would expect running Firefox. Try it out and let me know, if it works, then it's not a problem with Zend Server.

Not that slow but i had same problem. i just logged in Zend Server Panel and turned off Zend Debugger component. Then everything was normal. But then, why do i use zend server if i cannot use zend debugger. i hope they will fix it soon.
