Apache 2.2 / Win7 - slow or not responsive

Question

My configuration - Windows 7 x64, Php 5.3, Apache 2.2.15, latest Mysql.

When loading pages from localhost, the response time shown by firebug is more 530ms for the main 'index.php' file, sometimes the connection is reset. It's painfully slow.

I googled the problem and found a workaround - switch off and on again a win service called BFE - base filtering engine. Then everything works like a lightning but xdebug doesn't work in netbeans.

Why is this response time so long? Can you think of any other solution than BFE toggling?

Answer 1

You could try with xamp, which should support xdebug out of the box.

Otherwise you need to complete your wamp setup with an xdebug dll.

put php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll in the directory C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0

Answer 2

I always used the lastest XAMPP Version from apachefriends.org which runs very stable and fast on my Windows 7 x64 machine. It also has Apache 2.2.15, MySQL 5.1.46 and PHP 5.3.2 included.

Is there a reason you use all programs as stand-alones?

Answer 3

thanks guys for the tip! I'll try with the bundle - in fact you're right, there's no need to give myself extra pain if there's all in one box; I'll post about the results. Kau-Boy - I understand that you don't have these response lags?

Answer 4

ok, I tried xampp and all other sugegstion given in forums but finally reverting win7 to 32bit edition solved the problem.
