I have apache installed on my ubuntu vmware image for web development. Everything works but its just VERY slow. My computer specs are good enough to run it. Is there a way to optimize the apache server to load faster because right now it loads like im on 56k. Thanks

Without providing information about your specs, you're begging the question as to the appropriateness of your setup. Can you provide that info? – Rilindo Dec 10 '11 at 21:50
As always: DNS problem – mailq Dec 10 '11 at 22:10
well the specs are default i guess..? i installed the lamp server and just configured my www folder, nothing else. As for the DNS problem, how can i fix it? – user26057 Dec 10 '11 at 22:19
That is not exactly helping. HOw much memory in the VM? What specific Ubuntu OS? How are you accessing the pages that Apache hosts in the VM - viewing the pages directly within the VM or accessing on the IP attached to the VM. – Rilindo Dec 10 '11 at 23:38
Also, can you paste in /etc/resolv.conf file, as well as the /etc/nsswitch.conf file? And can we get the output of top, ps -ef or something similar? – Rilindo Dec 10 '11 at 23:39

You could check if "HostnameLookups" is enabled. You could disable it restart and check again.
