#51 Re: Backlight Support » Whsy am I getting these symbols instead of the corect ones » 2016-10-09 03:00:13

Fixed it, but the .htaccess had been altered by Wordpress installation. Here is what was there: 

  # rewrite www.example.com → example.com

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Probably should make a note of this for others.

Thanks Ben, that did it. However, I did not find in the instructions given in the zip filel with anything to do with this. You said 

The "too long; didn't read" version for your server:

is hard to comprehend with it did not seem to be there. May I am misinterpreting your statement.

You are right, the speed is really 'up to speed' and for that I sincerely thank you. I was just about ready to give up when I consistently had 20 - 45 second page load times. You have solved that, greatly appreciated.

In the Backlight documentation: 

Installing the Wordpress Add-on  To install the Wordpress add-on:

    Copy the downloaded /backlight/modules/module-wordpress folder into /backlight/modules on your server.

After installing the add-on, it should be ready for use; see Wordpress Add-on Basics.

but I cannot find that...

I get this message: search page

I re-downloaded twice and applied the correct modules from scratch.
Does this have  somerthing to do with code Ben had me change in replacing the contents of SQLiteHandler in  backlight/framework/dao/SQLiteHandler.php:

 <?php defined('APP_DIR') or die('No direct script access allowed in ' . __FILE__); 

class SQLiteHandler extends PdoExtended
{
	public function __construct($args=array())
	{
		//parent::__construct(SQLITE_DSN, null, null, array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
		$dsn = isset($args['DSN']) ? $args['DSN'] : SQLITE_DSN;

		if (!is_file(preg_replace('/^sqlite:/', '', $dsn))) {
			die('Backlight is not yet configured.  Please login to Backlight at /backlight/ to continue.');
		}
		
		parent::__construct($dsn, null, null, array());

		$this->query('PRAGMA synchronous = off');
		$this->query('PRAGMA journal_mode = persist');
	}
}

?>

After working many hours trying to find out why page load times were around 30-40 seconds, Ben finally solved the problem and you can see the results above...are now around 1.2 - 2 seconds.

Great work on all the developers...!!!

I found out that I have shared NOT VPS on Bluehost.
IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM HAS SOLVED ITSELF.


However, now after replacing the code here is what is happening after replacement:
search page

and this when pressing Galleries: search page

this is what I replaced: 

<?php defined('APP_DIR') or die('No direct script access allowed in ' . __FILE__); 

class SQLiteHandler extends PdoExtended
{
	public function __construct($args=array())
	{
		//parent::__construct(SQLITE_DSN, null, null, array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
		$dsn = isset($args['DSN']) ? $args['DSN'] : SQLITE_DSN;

		if (!is_file(preg_replace('/^sqlite:/', '', $dsn))) {
			die('Backlight is not yet configured.  Please login to Backlight at /backlight/ to continue.');
		}
		
		parent::__construct($dsn, null, null, array());

		$this->query('PRAGMA synchronous = off');
		$this->query('PRAGMA journal_mode = persist');
	}
}

?>

BTW I think this did drastically improve the response time.  THANK YOU VERY MUCH
On GTMETRIX.com i am now getting 1.1 - 1.3 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if this is related to the error in trying to get a FB image.

When choosing a Facebook link/post from single image, about 85-90% of the images DO NOT INCLUDE THE IMAGE on the post. This is a recurring problem that I have posted a number of times.
There seems to be no support for this. Guess I will just let it go, which seems a shame since it was clearly intended to work.

It appears that when there is 1 or 2 process going the site responds well. but when there are 4-16 processes or more going the site slows almost to a stand still. He advised me to pass on that the database seriously needs optimizing. Not something I can do, i don't think. I used GTmetrics.com and got allot of information. If you are interested I will provide it in an email, since the length would be too much for this. area.
