[rt-users] Please help: RT3.4.4 running really slow

hi Roy,

Yep. In RT_SiteConfig.pm, I added this line:
     Set($LogToFile      , 'debug');
RT_Config.pm has these values already set:
     Set($LogToSyslog    , 'debug');
     Set($LogToScreen    , 'error');
     Set($LogToFile      , undef);
     Set($LogDir, '/var/log/request-tracker3.4');
     Set($LogToFileNamed , "rt.log");    #log to rt.log
It is my understanding that RT_SiteConfig.pm settings override those set in 
RT_Config.pm. I get nothing other than user login messages in the rt.log 
file.
There has to be another setting somewhere. Any suggestions?

And, yes, I also logged queries. The postgres log is identical for both the 
successful ticket access and the stalled ticket access. So, the problem has 
to be somewhere between the query being made and the data being sent to the 
remote user.

How can I track this?

We must be getting closer :)

thanks,
Don
