Domino HTTP/Blog performance issue

Hi folks,

I have a performance issue with Domino HTTP on 8.0.2 and 8.5 servers, and on both Windows and Linux platforms.

There are a number of Domino blog and web site DBs on the server, and when Domino is first launched, they perform very snappily, responding quickly to browser requests. However, once the server has been up for a few minutes, responses begin to take significantly longer - anything up to a minute to complete. The browser says it is “Waiting for ”, so it has already done the DNS lookup and contacted the server.

There is not a significant load on the server, it is only doing HTTP work, no SMTP or other tasks. It is running on a modern dedicated Linux server with 1GB RAM.

The logs don’t show anything obvious, the only strange behaviour on the server is a repeatable “HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Entry not found in index” error when attempting to edit documents in the Domino Directory via web admin. Perhaps this is related. The server was at 8.5b2, but exhibits the same behaviour since being downgraded back to 8.0.2.

Any thoughts on how to diagnose the issue?

Thanks, Stuart

Not sure where your problem is, but the I would consider a Notebook with less than 2 GByte not as modern. Now you are talking of a server …

just my thoughts.

It was a misconfiguration issue.

The server’s “Run web agents and web services concurrently?” parameter was set to disabled, meaning that the server simply got too busy to process all it needed too.
