If you ping your local server with the localhost ip or command everything should return virtually instantley. If not, hello? Your more likely got a HARDWARE issue. But if it's returned instantley we can just about rule out a hardware problem. But could be a settings issue. > > Ping your IP address, not localhost. Now if this is slow your net connection maybe to blame, even your web host maybe denying you full access and halting loadings times.

As depending on other programs etc it could vary quite hugly. Ping over 50 times than average the amounts out.

Because on a default installation I think the default FIRST look file is .htm file rather than .php file. So maybe it's looping to find it?

I'm not sure however whether that lookup might delay delivery of the document, or whether the document is served independently og logging actions; I would guess the latter.

I have the phpinfo page set as the default index right now. I noticed that "Virtual Directory Support" is "disabled". Could this be the source of my problem?
