how to tell if problem is webhost or c5? desperately need help!
Permalink
I've been struggling with getting a working site up for months now. The site is for a record store, we are using the ecommerce block, and have about 20,000 products entered. We are on a vps via dreamhost, and have had constant downtime and crashes. We recently started from scratch with a fresh install of c5 after getting all products imported we ran into issues with memory, so we boosted that way up, and now we are having issues with FCGI limits. We are using a theme we bought from the c5 marketplace and have made no modifications to it. Thus far on themes, blocks, and webhosting,ecommerce script importer & tech support, we have spent a pretty good chunk of change and still after 6+ months do not have a site that works. Would we be better off just using zencart or another shopping cart, another cms, or a new host. Really at a loss and would like to get something figured out. Would be happy to hire someone to get things up and running. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The site is apoprecords.com sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesnt. might have to refresh it a couple times

So... are you running WordPress and Concrete5 on the same server, and every time you hit the front page, it is spinning up C5 to build the front page, and then making a ajax call which spins up WordPress to get the content for the front page? And they are both, I assume, contending for the same database?
wordpress and c5 are on the same server, but each use a different database. The page is set up using c5, and I use the wordpress to c5 addon which pulls the blog from wp and then displays it on the front page. After reporting the slowness and multiple crashes to the host things are now working. They never told me what the issue was and I didnt really change anything, but atleast everything is loading and I can now focus on getting some content uploaded.
Page rendered fast enough for me. I looked briefly at the network tab of the developer console and there was nothing obviously out of place
Maybe the slow issue is just when you are logged in with the dashboard bar.
