Hi,
I've very slow response (from 1-2 seconds to tens of seconds) from http://localhost using Apache 2.4.3/Win32 service on Windows 8/32bit (6.2 build 9200). It doesn't depend on the browser used. Responses from all other sites are much faster.
Because it seemed to me to be a DNS issue, I tried to uncomment "127.0.0.1 localhost" and/or "::1 localhost" line in the hosts file, put "http://127.0.0.1" or "http://[::1]" instead of "http://localhost" into the browser, flushing dns by ipconfig /flushdns, stopping DNS Client by "net stop dnscache", disabling IPV6, etc. but nothing helped.
It seems that hosts file is ignored and "localhost" is passed to external DNS. Ping localhost yields to "Reply from ::1: time<1ms" response, ping 127.0.0.1 yields to expected "Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128" response.
Finally, "unplugging the network cable" is the only solution I've found: then the connection to localhost is much faster.
Any ideas how to get instant response when connected?
Thanks, S. |

It is known, with the later Windows versions, when using localhost that it can give issues. Also a golden rule is use always with php, MySQL, apache etc. 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
Also be sure you have in your httpd.conf:
AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
EnableSendfile off
EnableMMAP off

Forget.
Are the any errors/warnings in the the Apache error.log ?
Special attention to lines like:
AH01753: access check of 'xx.xxxx.com' to xxxxx failed, reason: unable to get the remote host name

| Thank you very much for your help. There are no errors/warnings in error.log, but those four options you've suggested to add to httpd.conf helped. (In fact I don't know which one of those four actually helped, but it doesn't matter.) Now localhost works much faster. Thank you. |

Thank you Steffen for that fix!!
OMG it was driving me crazy! From 5 to 20 seconds for each page load, it was madness.
I searched a lot of forums and did not find anything. But thanks to your fix, not it works like a CHARM!! 
Thank you again, and happy new year! |

Thank you!
I have also have been having a very slow localhost problem. But for me it is very intermittent, like one out of every 10 or 30 accesses.
So far(time will tell for sure) the first two of these suggestions, i.e. AcceptFilter http none, ... appears to have fixed it.
It still occured with the last two in, i.e. EnableSendfile off and EnableMMAP. In other words they did NOT fix it. (I tested them one at a time.)
I had 5 browsers open at the same time. Once a page would get stuck, with the little wherlie gig spinning counter clock wise on IE for example, then all subsequent page loads, in all 5 browsers, would also hang. In other words, if IE hung on a page, then any requests on FireFox, Chrome, Opera and Safari would also hang.
The slow down I was seeing could be cleared by restarting Apache, by toggling WiFi access (either up or down), or by waiting, sometimes many minutes.
When cleared, then all browsers would suddenly get their page, including the original tab that hung (which sort of surprised me), and things would again appear as normal until the next hang.
IE seemed to be the most likely to hang. Safari and Opera either never hung, or did it so infrequently that I didn't notice. FireFox and Chrome were about half as bad as IE.
I whittled my httpd.conf down to just this and the problem still occurred:
-------------------
ServerRoot "c:/Program Files (x86)/Apache24"
LoadModule authz_core_module modules/mod_authz_core.so
LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so
ErrorLog "logs/error.log"
LogLevel warn
<IfModule log_config_module>
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t %k %D \"%r\" %>s %b" common
CustomLog "logs/access.log" common
</IfModule>
Listen 80
DocumentRoot "c:/Home/usedsoup/public_html"
ServerName http://localhost:80
-------------------
My config:
* Win7 x64 Pro - Intel Core 2 Duo
* Apache Lounge VC11 Apache 2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e
hosts:
127.0.0.1 secure.localhost. i.localhost. localhost. |

The information in this post is really important.
In my case, IE was blocking Apache for 3 minutes. Once it resolves, the other browsers were able to get their content.
It does sounds like a bug to me. I can't use 127.0.0.1 because I use multiple host URL to match different VirtualHost:
client1.localhost
client2.localhost
Those lines definitely helped
AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none
After looking into the log in debug, the only info I could find was repeated authz_core granting the requested page. But no errors. |
