Thread:Project:Support desk/Very slow MW website, possibly due to database/reply (16)

Hi pal,

Yes, server is performing better now but it slows down to almost halt (and sometimes it actually halts) every half an hour or so. The lull remains for about 15-20 minutes. Then it picks speed and rises to the peak. This cycle goes on and on and on!

I have been thinking of using a cron to restart server. May be I should kill all apache processes every 30 minutes and restart apache as well as mysql. This could be a workaround.

Thanks for all your suggestions!
