Hello,

On easyblog 3.8x series version
Recentlt 2 month back - i migrated server to wiredtree
Facing unique issue when creating blog post (its happening only at time of creating a new blog entry) that site other pages tends to slow up

While i raised this time as a serious issue with host they came back
, I'm seeing PHP instances running for 30-40+ seconds, and this seems to be causing the 500 errors your seeing when viewing the sites:

[Thu Aug 13 08:56:08 2015] [warn] [client 122.176.2.242] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds, referer: http://www.xxx.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=dashboard&layout=write&draft_id=642&Itemid=91
[Thu Aug 13 08:56:08 2015] [error] [client 122.176.2.242] Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: http://www.xxx.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=dashboard&layout=write&draft_id=642&Itemid=91

Since the load is elevated (0.75-1.0) and has been for some time now, and there doesn't appear to be a high amount of traffic, this all seems to be resulting from the site code itself and possible the use of that php handler. I didn't see any other signs of database issues, slowdowns for mysql, or any signs of brute force attacks on the server that would result in this.

My Config are
> 5 GB RAM - Dedicated
> Max Execution - 120 sec
> 32 core with 1 AMD Opetron CPU COre as Dedicated
> 80 GB HDD

Now the host has advise to change php handler from fast-cgi to dso+mod_ruid2
Am unsure - what impact will it have

Pls advise - whats the best php handler can recommend in for compatibility with easyblog and importantly Joomla too and how to avoid error - been the errors happening only at time of creating a new blog post (other site pages gets slow or 500 error shows in)
Hey Gagan,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

I am not sure this issue is it related with your php handler yet,

perhaps you can provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can investigate on this issue before you switch your php handler.

By the way, do you consider to update your 3.8x to Easyblog 5.0? because we have improve page optimised in Easyblog 5.

i am yet awaiting for stable version of Easyblog - been many bugs are reported in by user and even on test wamp site - there are some errors its showing

But basis the remarks as what the host mentioned of data timeout and php script headers and your experience - can php handler from fastcgi to dso can solve in such issues

Hey Gagan,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we are currently having a Joomla conference here in Malaysia and most of the team are involved in the preparation.

This really very hard to tell you is it can solve this issue when you switch your php handler to some else without checking your site yet.
