Took care of troubleshooting of some minor kinks in the blog this evening which have been bothering me of late. Nothing major, just minor things like the login to my blog’s Admin getting stuck on one script which threw up a dialog box in my face stating that a script was taking too long to load (or something to that effect) and did I want to stop it or continue on. That was very nice for it to say so but it didn’t tell me which script it was!!! It doesn’t seem to be caused by a plugin though so I just have to chalk it up to upgrading to WP 2.2.1 since that’s when it started happening. Since it doesn’t do it all the time I’ll just wait for the next release to see if it continues to happen then I’ll make some noise.
The other thing I did was turn on FastCGI acceleration at my host’s end of things to see how that worked. Here’s what this is supposed to do:
FastCGI is an option in the control panel that you turn on that will allow
PHP scripts on our servers to stay in memory and avoid running the PHP interpreter each time a PHP script is run. This greatly reduces server load!
I’ve heard good and bad about this in various forums I’ve run across but my host (Bluehost) has tested this for several months now and has added all sorts of custom enhancements just for us blogging type folks running all sorts of PHP scripts. So far it seems to be working okay but it’s you readers who’ll have the final say. If anyone sees a weird problem going on, please let me know asap and if you can include a few details as to what you were doing at the time it would be much appreciated since I’ll be giving feedback to my host if things start going wrong.
Anyway, it’s 10:00 PM and time to hit the sack. And after I hit the sack I guess I’ll go to bed. Don’t know why I have to keep hitting that darn old sack anyway. Can’t see why I just can’t go straight to bed without hitting anything. Next thing you know I’ll have to start hitting the hay or something equally ridiculous. And I don’t even have any hay.
Isn’t this silly?
G’night all.
