Question

<CFINDEX> is taking forever to update

This problem is on an shared MX7 server at intermedia.net.

When updating a custom search record, <cfindex> takes so long (25 seconds, minimum) that subsequent <cfoutput> tags often timeout.

On my development server (older machine running MX6.1), the same index update takes 2 or 3 seconds.

Interestingly, when I update ten records at once, it only takes a second longer.

There doesn't seem to be any info on this problem, and the folks at intermedia, while well-intended, aren't pursuing this with gusto.

I've gone so far as to create a database table for indexing requests, queueing the requests for scheduled indexing, so that users don't hang and get errors when they update data. Even this isn't working very well, as some queued entries are taking many hours befores successfully indexing!

There's a test script at http://www.uwri.org/v2alpha/testindexupdate.cfm. It displays all information about it's operation, and can be expected to timeout about half the time.

Any ideas out there??

Thanks,

Don

    Hi Don,

    Did you solve this problem? I am having similar problems and am on a shared server at Crytaltech.com. Seems like it's quite a recent problem I'm having - in the last couple of weeks. Any hints?

    Thanks,
