[Solved] Slow admin login, behind proxy?

[robbydee]

Hello everyone! This is my first post and happy to part of the prestashop community. I have installed prestashop on localhost with no problems except that when logging into /admin#### it takes 60 seconds to get to the Back Office start page. I am almost certain that some task is timing out at 60 seconds. I am working behind a company proxy / firewall.

Does anyone know what task is occurring upon admin login that is causing this? Is it using CURL or some other function to try to see a website? I would love to know what is happening and how to resolve this issue.

Does anyone know of any localhost packet sniffer of something to see what is page being requested from a web browser (I am using Firefox 3).

Thank you

P.S. Great job on prestashop btw!

I bet its something to do with your company setup / proxy... On all install of Prestashop I have done I have no problems with speed be it local or remote... I would check you local setting on your pc/host... I hope you fix the problem soon...

Yesterday the prestashop.com domain was down for a while and I hardly could use my backoffice (local nor online) which made me look into the startup page, index.php, for the backoffice part of prestashop. Almost at the end there is a call to the prestashop.com domain for rss feeds and commenting this out cured the slowness. If working from behind a proxy this might well be the cause for your slowdown to. Comment out

   echo'<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="no" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 380px;" src="http://www.prestashop.com/rss/news.php?v='._PS_VERSION_.'〈='.$isoUser.'"></iframe>';

from the index.php in your admin directory and see if it helps.

@wheeloftime: That sounds like it could be the answer. I will try it when I get a chance at work and keep you all posted. Maybe the admin section can have a proxy form that holds proxy info for situations like mine? Just a thought.

Hi everybody!

You're right, on the Back Office homepage we display sone news about PrestaShop and it is what slow down your shop (but your proxy should not be involved).
I think it happended because the PrestaShop website was down for a moment and you went on your Back Office in the same time.

But do not worry, such call is only on the BackOffice homepage, your PrestaShop (FrontOffice and BackOffice) won't be slow by it.

Have to agree with wheeloftime, notice a big difference speed in the back office when removing the callout to prestashop news
