OP installation and performance

Added by Pete Redhair over 8 years ago

I use debian as our main distribution for development, testing and production environment

I’ve followed your instructions on how to install OP in Debian and it worked as expected. The version installed was 6.1.1.
After a while it was time to upgrade Debain and it’s applications and OP upgraded as expected in the debian way (although with some strange messages no usual on debian installations) to version 6.1.4 and everything is working fine.

Thanks for this install and upgrade packages as it makes the product so much more appreciated and reliable to maintain, making it a better option than those that are not as easy to maintain.

I do have one issue that i’m seeking help on and it regards to performance.
OP or any other software is expected to respond fast to the user, specially if you have many interacions, in this case, updating work packages, setting relations, logging time, creating new projects, checking the activity, checking time and cost reports, ans so on, in wich i’m having trouble.

At the current installation my team (4 people) is using OP intensivly and we struggling with several performance issues (i imagine there may be more performance problems on the client side than server side).

But before describing them i did a search and found a potencial problem to my Production environment, running OP in development mode.
My first problem is i do not know at all the ruby environment and can’t find things for a start.
I found this article https://community.openproject.com/topics/1613?board_id=9 but i don’t know where to start.

Being abble to run OP with usable performance and extend it to more users is crucial to the future adoption of the product.

So my question is, do you have a step by step, or more detailed doc or thread that i might have not fount to be able to:

  1. check my installation running mode: production or other mode
  2. how to change the mode in wich OP runs

I’m available to write such a doc or post here the instructions i’d like to have found but need someone to help me.
Is there someone out there that can help me with these two questions ?

Any help here ?

RE: OP installation and performance - Added by Pete Redhair about 8 years ago

Still waiting for an hint.
I’ve upgraded to 1.6.5 using debian and it was a breeze again, as usual with Debian.

I do get some strange messages i’m sending you in the attached log file.

Hello,

You can check the running mode with the following command, which should always be production.

[root@ip-10-0-0-175 openproject]# openproject config:get RAILS_ENV                                                                                                                                          
production

You could change the mode by altering the configuration variable (openproject config:set RAILS_ENV=xxx), but it is really not recommended.

What makes you think you have an installation running in development mode?

RE: OP installation and performance - Added by Pete Redhair about 8 years ago

Very Poor performance even on on a VM ESXi With 4 vcpu and 16GB Ram

RE: OP installation and performance - Added by Pete Redhair about 8 years ago

Confirmed: production mode

openproject config:get RAILS_ENV
production

Will look for other performance issues

Thank you very much for your help.
