Hiawatha version: v9.6, SSL (1.3.7), URL toolkit, XSLT
Operating System: CentOS 6.5 / 64 Bit

when using hiawatha very slow open document
very fast when using apache, whta the problem,

here my config :

ServerId = apache
ServerString =  WebServer
ConnectionsTotal = 2048
ConnectionsPerIP = 50
SocketSendTimeout = 60
LogFormat = extended
ExecuteCGI = yes
CacheSize = 50
SystemLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/system.log
GarbageLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/garbage.log

Binding {
    Port = 80
}

ConnectionsTotal = 200
ConnectionsPerIP = 1000

CGIhandler = /usr/bin/php-cgi:php,php5,do
CGIextension = cgi

FastCGIserver {
    FastCGIid = dv
    ConnectTo = 127.0.0.1:9000
    Extension = php, php5, do
    SessionTimeout = 30
}

Hostname = 127.0.0.1
WebsiteRoot = /opt/html
StartFile = index.html

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = codeigniter
    RequestURI exists Exit
    Match .* Rewrite /index.php
}

VirtualHost {
    Hostname = test.example.com
    WebsiteRoot = /var/www/html
    StartFile = index.php
    UseToolkit = codeigniter
    TimeForCGI = 60
    UseFastCGI = dv
    TriggerOnCGIstatus = no
    ExecuteCGI = yes
    PreventCSRF = yes
    PreventSQLi = yes
    PreventXSS = yes
    AccessLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/vdmi.access.log
    ErrorLogfile = /var/log/hiawatha/vdmi.error.log
    ErrorHandler = 404:/error.cgi
}

I am having the same problem as well

I would seriously consider using ruby on rails instead. Here is a great tutorial https://onemonth.com/courses/one-month-rails/

I have no idea. I need a bit more information than only "it's slow". Hiawatha is not slow, many tests prove that [www.saltwaterc.ro]. Even when the webserver is under attack. Try without the PreventCSRF, PreventSQLi and PreventXSS settings. You should only use them when they are really needed.


@James: No offense, but Ruby on Rails has had it best days. It's not here to stay. I strongly advice PHP. You want to do PHP good? Try Banshee [www.banshee-php.org].

grep -i Prevent /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf
#PreventCSRF = yes
#PreventSQLi = yes
#PreventXSS = yes

and restart servis hiawatha

same problem, slow open document with iframe
when download document very vast

and test with add SecureURL = no, still slow open document pdf

Do you have an URL for me so I can see and test for myself?

with hiawatha :
http://test.vdmi.co.id/v2/dip/view/73

with apache :
http://test.vdmi.co.id:8000/v2/dip/view/73

and i like this same fast : http://demo.banshee-php.org/demos/pdf

My advice is to install Fiddler [www.telerik.com]. Fiddler is a local proxy with an interface. A brilliant tool for bug hunting and security testing. Start browsing via this local proxy and request your website. You'll see several HTTP errors on your page. For example the Content-Length your website sends for the PDF does not match the actual size. That's why Hiawatha gets confused and slows down. It waits for the rest to come. I think the cause is in the gzipping. You calculate the length of the PDF, print a Content-Length header, gzip the content and send it. After the gzipping, the length of the content has changed!

Thanks Hugo, with your help, I will try to fix it
