We're talking 5 minutes to load a page, any admin page for that matter. I've been trying to debug this, and I've noticed all the panes on the dashboard which should load using AJAX remain empty. Then I noticed this when doing an svn update: {{{ $ svn up A wp-pass.php [...] Fetching external item into 'wp-content/plugins/akismet' svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/akismet/trunk' svn: PROPFIND of '/akismet/trunk': could not connect to server (http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org) }}} This lead me to think that the server can't connect to anything on wordpress.org, which would explain the slow admin as well (since I assume it tries to check for updates and stuff), and also why the panes on the dashboard remained empty. I did a ping and a traceroute from ssh to wordpress.org, both unsuccesful. Now, I'm not sure why this server can't connect to wordpress.org, but I guess I need to contact the hosting company for that, however, if my assumption is right, WordPress (2.7) is not timing out (or at least not fast enough) when connecting to wordpress.org fails. If I'm not right, any help on debugging this is appreciated. I have 2.7 running just fine locally and on another server.",defect (bug),closed,normal,2.7,Administration,2.7,normal,fixed,,,
