Speed ​​up wamp server + drupal on windows vista

Question

My localhost performance with drupal six is ​​pretty slow. I found a solution to add # before the line :: localhost of the system32 / etc / hosts file, but that was what I already did and didn't help much.

Does anyone know of any other optimizations that might work?

thanks

Andy

Answer 1

For quick prototyping of Drupal sites, I recommend the Acquia DAMP stack , which includes Drupal, Apache, MySQL, and PHP in a fast deployable package.

In addition to this, alco comes with CCK and Views, so you no longer need to download them.

Using the DAMP package may solve some speed problems that are usually associated with general * AMP settings, however, note that Drupal on Windows is generally known to be slightly slower due to window design and implementation of the * AMP stack on Windows (XAMPP is major intruder.)

If DAMP is still running slowly, there are some tweaks for your Windows machine that can make a big difference

You should check this page: http://drupal.org/node/627252

In particular, but not limited to: http://drupal.org/node/51263 and http://drupal.org/node/2602

The best ways to improve the performance of an application such as Drupal are to make it cache sites, improve MySQL capabilities and optimize your PHP configuration.

There are also some MySQL tuning tools, for example. http://blog.mysqltuner.com/
