Steps to perform

There are potentially a few options that may improve performance.


A. Disabling some of the plugins you don't use. Although they add additional functionality there is a performance overhead for loading each of them. Try disabling the following plugins to see if there is an improvement in performance:

1. Navigate to DMS Administration > Miscellaneous > Plugins
2. Untick the following plugins:
  • RSS Plugin
  • Subscription Plugin
  • User History
  • Top Downloads for the last Week
  • Extended Transaction Information
  • Housekeeper
  • Drop Documents Plugin
3. Click "Update"


B. Ensure that the caching has been disabled

1. Open the following file in a text editor:
<KnowledgeTree Directory>\config.ini
2. Locate and change the following variable (if necessary) to:
'cacheEnabled = false'


C. Empty the KnowledgeTree caches:

1. Delete all files and folders in the following directories:
  • <KnowledgeTree Directory>\var\proxies
  • <KnowledgeTree Directory>\var\cache
  • <KnowledgeTree Directory>\var\tmp


D. MySQL Tuning:

Database tuning has also been known to improve performance and you may find instructions for this on on wiki page:
