Re: considering two options for changing hosting
Sorry I cannot comment on Hostek, but I would recommend working with your host and getting to the root of the issue before putting in the work on moving things. I just know that can be a hassle and you could wind up in the same place as you are today. So some recommendations. - Get your provider to move the site to another server. Even if it's temporary to see if the server is the issue. Maybe they can just provide another temp account for free. This way the db can stay where it is and just gave to move the files. - Put another simple php app on your site. This would help narrow down php on the server or your php instance (depending on their config) as the issue. - Disable your Wordpress plugins one by one to see if one is at fault. I know you stated these aren't the issue, but worth trying. - Check web logs to see if someone is leeching your Wordpress content and beating up your site. - Use a Wordpress caching plugin, you should do this anyway as Wordpress usually runs like doodie without one anyway. - Run the site through something like pingdom.com/tools, which will break down the load times and from where. Could be a plugin loading content from another site that is the issue and this would show it. - Check the html source, possible that your Wordpress site is compromised and there is some hidden content or something in the page causing a slow down. If you wanted to share the site, I'm sure some people on the list might be able to offer some insight.

Re: Scheduler directory missing.
Is it possible to run a CF7 reinstall to recover this directory without overwriting my existing installation and configuration? No, I don't think so, but you could export your existing configuration first then reinstall and import the configuration.

Scheduler directory missing.
Hi guys, long time no speak. Hardly doing any CF work these days, but still looking after a couple of long time customers on CF 7. I know it's old (ok, ancient), but it does what I need it to do. I've hardly touched the CF 7 install in years. Today I went to check a scheduled tasks and the entire /scheduler directory is awol. I suspect because I hid it from hackers so well that I can't find it! Is it possible to run a CF7 reinstall to recover this directory without overwriting my existing installation and configuration?

SOLR config in CF10
The Adobe docs say that in order to configure SOLR (as in upping the memory available to it) in CF10 one needs to edit the solr.lax file. Problem is, I don't have a solr.lax file anywhere on the server. Does anyone know the name/location of the actual file to do configurations?

RE: SOLR config in CF10
Les, Are you running an external Solr instance? Check the CF admin settings under Solr Host Name. It might give you a host or IP for an external server. -mark -Original Message- From: Les Irvin [mailto:les.cft...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 2:46 PM To: cf-talk Subject: SOLR config in CF10 The Adobe docs say that in order to configure SOLR (as in upping the memory available to it) in CF10 one needs to edit the solr.lax file.

Re: Scheduler directory missing.
I would make a copy of the entire directory, then uninstall and install. Then copy and overwrite the configuration files. Pretty sure with 7, you will want the lib/neo-*.xml files. That should get you most of the way there. You could also leave the current install as is. Install a fresh copy to a new directory. Copy the configuration files, then update the Web server connectors to the new instance/install. That may be preferred as it would be easier to roll back to the prior version to at least keep things working.

Just curious, but couldn't you install it on a different computer (even a laptop) and just copy the directly you need over without all the complications?

Re: considering two options for changing hosting
the common reasons PHP becomes slow is an overloaded server, if the disk IO is not fast then PHP suffers. This does not affect CF in the same way because cf templates get cached in memory by default. To determine whether one host is going to be any better than another, the question you need to ask them is how many sites they put on each server, what type of disks they use, etc. We do not overload our servers for example, so as to not have so many issues caused by too many sites or other customers with badly written sites. We have also moved all our shared hosting servers to SSD now to get max performance, and it really does make a difference.
