[solved] Admin panel is slow and loads only menu items

[Antti]

Hi all,

I'm new with the CMS Made Simple. I've successfully finished the installation. I'm using CMS Ms 1.6 and xampp on Win XP. The problem is that admin panel is very slow. It usually loads the page for about 30-60 seconds and the page contains only the drop-down menu, so I can't do anything in the admin panel.

I found an old topic with a similar problem, http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?topic=29993.0; but I'm still not able to solve the problem. I believe I should change the "Check for new CMS versions using this URL" value to "none" from admin panel, but I can't do that because admin panel displays only the menu. I even tried to insert followind data to site_prefs table: sitepref_name = "urlcheckversion", sitepref_value = "none" but the problem still remains.

The problem is with local installation, haven't yet tried on external server. I guess firewall or proxy server causes the problem.

Anyone have an idea how solve the problem?

Sorry about my bad English.

I actually got admin panel working after deleting a few rows from siteprefs table and then I again inserted row "urlcheckversion" with value "none". No idea, why it solved the problem because I even tried that earlier. But main thing is that everything is ok now

i got this problem now too after upgrading.

which rows from siteprefs table did you delete?

[Antti]

Just some random rows. I had earlier about 5-10 rows in the table created by CMS MS. I was just desperately clicking on menu items and at some point I noticed that there was almost 150 rows in siteprefs table. Then I inserted again the "urlcheckversion" setting to table, and problem was gone.

My knowledge of CMS MS is still so weak, so can just guess what happened. But I believe that the actual solution was that the system was at some point able to insert those lines in siteprefs table. So my last post was maby a bit misleading, sorry about that.
