Hi,

How to speed up the Background Processes. It's moving very very slow. Just 30% for 24 hours for the Rebuilding IPS\forums\Topic\Post, while many of them didn't start yet at all. 

 

You can set up a cron task that will run once per minute regardless of board activity.  System tab -> Advanced Settings, "Use Cron".

I did it easely. I set main page autorefresh for every 10 seconds. 

How did you do this?

If you use the cron method of running tasks it is quite fast.

On localhost under Windows, it is not worth the effort of setting up a task. I was asking about the method of doing auto-refresh.

In fact, the cron job path under XAMPP is wrong.

I do agree that background jobs are preferred but under localhost, there should have been an alternative method.

​It took me about 3 days to run my small to medium sized forum through it. It is fast in terms of the alternative to cron but overall it would be nice if I could run these consecutively instead over a time-lapse.

​I just did that and for some reason I can't access my test install now. When  I go to domain.com/testinstall it just sends me to domain.com 

I gave up on loaclhost because I didn't feel I should have to run the queue task repeatedly for a couple of hours to get the upgrade to complete. Some shared hosting do not like a cron job running every minute.

​Beta 6 has things to greatly speed up the cron execution.

​Gotcha. I'll wait to see Beta 6 then  

I'm glad I found this topic as beta 5 is just so painfully slow. :lol:

I will wait until beta 6.

How did you do this?

​Very easy. On a client machine used Chrome browser + Easy Auto Refresh plugin.

​Thank you.

 

I used an addon to Firefox.

I really hope beta 6 is faster...

This is by no means a big board but after 72 hours, with a cron job executing every minute, it's still not done.

I'll be eager to see how it will handle 20+ million posts then...  

Not too eager to have to choose a reasonable number of various posts and check that content have rebuilt properly.
