MAMP/Apache Server on localhost running very slow

[frshjb373]

Everytime I make a change to a file on my local server, it takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds for the changes to change on browser.  Any recommendations to speed up performance of local host? Any help is much appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

What about if you try to make a connection to localhost without the browser?

 

Can I see the outputs of:

cat /private/etc/hosts

or

cat /etc/hosts

Thanks for the help! I have attached txt docs of the outputs you requested.  Look forward to hearing back.

cat :private:etc:hosts.txt

cat :etc:hosts.txt

How do you try to reach the local server, by ip address or domain name?

 

Open up /etc/hosts with your text editor and try to comment out (just for a test) all adobe domain name lines to this file, restart apache and try again.

 

The better way for me here is to setup a new virtual host in apache ip based, which means that you would have a different local ip address for your project - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html

I reach local server by typing "localhost:8888" in browser address bar.

 

Can I comment many lines at once in the hosts file or do I have to enter a # in front of every single Adobe line?

[frshjb373]

...commenting the Adobe lines, restarting, didn't resolve.  Any other ideas?

Hey @frshjb373,

first of all I wanna tell you that rarely providing my help to mac or windows users using some app's like MAMP, WAMP, XAMPP etc....b/s I don't use these OS's.

So, open up mac's console and give me the result of next output:

ping localhost -c 5

Also, try to reach Apache server by IPv4 and IPv6 addreses 

Open up the browser and try:

 

URL 1: http://127.0.0.1:8888

URL 2: http://[::1]:8888
