Backoffice performance horrible - so slow

[swpierce]

Hey guys. I installed Prestashop to start learning it and develop a site for a new retailer. Everything works great except for the back office pages.

 

It doesn't matter what I click on in back office, it takes 25-30 seconds for the page to load.

 

I turned on PS_DEBUG_PROFILING and saw a lot of messages about missing xml files in the config directory. Sure enough, that directory only contains an index.php file - nothing else.

 

I found this post that would lead me to believe when Prestashop installed, it didn't get all the xml files or database tables it needed.

 

There are a couple posts that talk about access to api.prestashop.com and addons.prestashop.com - I can nslookup and get the correct IPs for those machines but I can't ping them (no firewall issues - I can ping any other site).

 

Any ideas? The back office is completely unusable at this speed.

 

Thanks!

These are the files in my config directory in a default installation for PS 1.6:

\config\xml\themes

If you miss these you should try installing again. Installation takes only a few minutes, so that shouldn't be a problem.
