everything is slow after enabling multisite

Are you running MySQL for the backend? Have you tried running a repair and optimize on all the tables – or whatever the equivalent is for whatever db you’re running?

You;re on Windows. Did you put in the web.config rules for the rewrites? ??

WordPress gives you Apache ones.

yes I am running mysql, this is a brand new site, so there is no data in the database yet other than the default wordpress settings.
Yes I did the web.config a nd wordpress generated it by itsemf not an apache .htaccess entry, so I guess it detects your on windows.

I have just turned on debugging and noticed that wordpress is riddled with errors. This lot appears on the admin pages, and just as many on the front of the site.

btw I should mention that all these errors have been there since my original install of vanilla wordpress 3.0, I run it for the first time with debug turned on and got all these errors then too.
Having searched the forums I see many others report the same thing, so is this normal and wordpress just riddled with errors by default ?

If you look at the line number for those error (which I’ve snipped – please do not paste in large amounts of code) almost every single one was associated with *plugins*.

Also – turn off the plugins when you enable multisite.

all plugins were disabled when I enabled multisite, I did read the setup guide.
All the plugins are now disabled, but still lots of errors with debug enabled, and as I said above, there were loads of errors with the original install, which of course has no plugins other than the one sit comes wit. Even with plugins disabled the admin still slow. But now I just get a blank page on main site.

i also tried to optimize/repair the tables but those options are not available on most tables, so I presume they are mostly INNODB tables.

blank page = php errors. Meaning, it’s likely one of the plugins you turned off kicked an error in your theme.

As for the slowness, I can’t reproduce it, so it’s something specific to your install. switch to the default theme as well, just long enough to test.

ok it seems all the themes got broken as a result of enabling multi-site, when i went to the themes page it reverted back tot he default theme which is displaying without any errors.
However everything is still extremely slow as before.

And a link to the site in question?

it is only on my local machine atm as it is still in development.

solved the slow loading issue.
it was the web.config generated by wordpress, it overwrite my exisitng web.config which had a remove handler entry for the wildcard coldfusion handler.
This handler causes sites to load slowly if the coldfusion service is not running as it waits for a response from coldfusion.

ok so the basic wordpress mu is working.
but if I enable buddy then I get pages of errors again, I wont post them seeing as you moaned about me doing that last time.
Buddypress is supposed to be compatible with wordpress 3..0.1, so i’m not really sure what the problem is.

If you;re enabling buddypress & it’s spewing errors on you, you’ll have a lot more success asking over at the buddypress forums. And do remember to tell them you’re on a windows server.

I wont post them seeing as you moaned about me doing that last time.

Forum rules. ??

I am having the same problem as above. My other none multisite wordpress installs on the same server run fairly fast. I then login to the multisite and it takes 3-10 seconds to load a page. I have optimized the database. I have removed plugins.

It seems to me that this issue is not resolved. I have googled and others are having the same problem. I should note that my multisite has multiple TLD’s

It’s not the server because I have other installs on single wordpress running fine. So its obviously something with multisite.
