Diagnosing slow http connections

By gsunny - March 11th 2008 at 07:49 PM

Greetings. I have a standard Apache 2 install that I compiled and installed on a new RHEL box. Things were working fine, but I noticed that the box has become very slow.

When I go to the command line from another box on the network and issue a 'wget http://192.168.1.100/index.html', it sits there for a while with a "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..." message. When I send the request to another box with the same configuration on the same network, the response is lightening fast.

Once I get the response, the file downloads in no time.

Any ideas where I can begin looking?

    Please note - the same thing happens (the delay) when I hit http://127.0.0.1/index.html.

    Hmm.


    Is this slow for all types of files?


    What about plain html files vs files like jsp or php files? Is it all files?


    Are you gzipping the content?
