Domain Actions too slow(!)

[alfmanuel]

Hi Guys,

have got another lil' problem on our servers. Got 2 new plesk 8 machines.
It's a funny thing, if I create a new domain, it takes very long between screen 1 (new domain name) and screen 2 (ftp user settings)

If i do domain modifications (changing hostname) it also takes long, and deleting too.
If I work with plesk API (via CLI) it's also very slow...

Maybe it has something to do with qmail, as a qmail reload takes also 1 minute...

sorry, but 1 minute to wait while creating a new domain is really too much, isn't it?

best regards
manuel

Generally, 1 minute is not that bad. It can take some >20 sec for the fast servers to create domains with with many hosting services on them. Basically, whatever slows it down, can be grouped into 4 categories:
1. Hardware.
2. Network.
3. SQL
4. Plesk software iteslf: errors that can be found in logs (eg. /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/httpsd_error_log or /var/log/messages)

If restarting qmail takes > 1 minute, there might be a prob with qmail , indeed, but again, it is hardly related to retarded domain actions, because mail configuration is mainly done after domain creation..
