MyHobbySite is down, problems caused by that

[Paganec]

Well, decided to create a new topic as long as MHS is down, not sure if they're gonna even pay for domain.

The problem is, during the execution of the index script, my site is waiting for the answer from myhobbysite.com. No answer therefore it takes 5-6 seconds to move between pages.

A lot of trader uses that CMS so how you solved that problem. Obviously something has to be changed in the scripts. Any ideas?

My inner hosting owners at timeweb.ru said the problem is in long execution of scripts here

time php index.php 2> /dev/null

real 0m4.609s
user 0m0.036s
sys 0m0.012s

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't see why it would calling back to the MHS domain for anything. It should only be communicating with your MySQL Server to pull all the information. I'm going through almost all of the .php files and I don't see where it's checking anything at MyHobbySite.com for anything. That would be a ton of bandwidth to making constant callbacks to MyHobbySite.com.

Maybe there is a script that checks with license or something?

[Paganec]

Okey, I checked with support team of my hosting, they confirmed the site check up with myhobbysite for key/licence number. On the other hand I've seen other MHS sites and they work fast.
Is there anyone who knows how to reach myhobbysite? Or is it a dead shot? Who could possibly assist with that? Whoever can solve my issue, I can offer my Metallica Helsinki 2012 master.

Here is the part of strace log in scripts showing timeouts and stuff

Unfortunately, I don't think you're gonna have much luck contacting MHS. Over a year ago, it took me a few weeks and tracking him down on Facebook through a family member (I felt bad but was desperate) to get a response from Caleb. He told me it would probably be best to go with a new hosting provider. A year later, that's what I did.

Thanks for response. Well, you see, they have never been my hosting provider, I just bought their CMS with lincense key and now when myhobbysite is down, my own site gets 4 seconds timeout everytime while checking with myhobbysite regarding if the license is valid. That's what I've been told by 2 different local hosting providers I'm working with.

[sjmike]

When I look in cfmoran's /admin/includes/ directory, I only see these two files.

init.inc.php
smartyinit.inc.php

However, when I look at mine, I see all these.
access.inc.php
footer.inc.php
header.inc.php
init.inc.php
key.inc.php
licensing.inc.php
moduleinit.inc.php
smartyinit.inc.php
uploadpath.inc.php

That can't be a good thing.

Your site still works okay. I checked out SkyMaster's as well since I'm hosting his site, and he's only got 2 files as well. Makes we wonder if the licensing.inc.php is even necessary.

Maybe it's since I did the 1.02 upgrade?

[Paganec]

I have 4 files there

init.inc.php
key.inc.php
licensing.inc.php
smartyinit.inc.php
