Modx on Raspberry Pi

HI,
made a Revolution-installation on modx on my new Raspberri Pi. The installation went great.

But it is SLOW!!!

The manager taker 20-30 seconds to load with the Raspberry processor-indicator is on 100%.
The startpage takes about 5 seconds to load.

I run Debian Wheezy, Apache2, mySQL, MODX Revo 2.2, Samba, vsftpd on a local network.


Anyone else got any experiance with Modx and Raspberry?
Becauce this is useless as it is.

Somehow this reminds me of a Samuel Johnson quote.
;) KP

Well, I may not quite agree with Mr. Johnson's particular application, but I can certainly see the applicability of the general principle in this case. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should.

:) I guess you're tellin me to stop trying.

I wonder how fast will evolution be

It clearly states in the documentation you need an array of Raspberry Pis, like the picture from RTFM:

In all seriousness, that would be a really interesting experiment.

Ok, so I quickly experimented with Evo and Revo.

Evo manager session has no problem (fast,responsive and usable) on RasPi. Revo is slow on manager session (unusable). As a note, I am not noticing any difference in front end performance once resources are rendered but the pages I am playing with are not that complex. (using nginx + PHP5 + mysql)
I wonder if the situation gets better on Revo if I use another Raspi and serve Db from it, or fine tune php.ini. Since I am more interested in blinking LEDs and driving Servos with my Raspi, that part of the investigation has to wait, However, I have tried another dev board called Beaglebone Black (aka American Pi). The processor is little more powerful than Raspi. Using the same configuration (Debian wheezy+nginx+php5+mysql), Revo's manager page performance on BBB is quite acceptable.

I have independent experience with both.

Suggestions:
- Move MySQL (preferably use MariaDB) on a separate Pi. This will significantly improve performance

- Ensure there are no packet drops in your network and you are getting full speed.

- Do you really need Modx? As you are using it to monitor devices, simple nginx or Apache HTTPD will do fine. For scripting use PHP.
