From Georgia on UUNET T1 connection, IT-HQ took over 10 seconds on the first visit. Svaha's xoops.org page would have been mostly cached...

Is there any news on this prob?

I think it may have something to do with moving the site...I just migrated from XOOPS 2.0.6 on windows/apache--working fine, headlines and all--to Mandrake 10.0 (RC1) and the headlines module hosed the site as described above...removed the blocks and it came back, but the headline page blows up with the xml parser error....

I am thinking httpd.conf file, php settings or permissions maybe?

UPDATE:
Duh, this was simply the fact that xml support is not included in the default PHP mod for apache. For Mandrake, there is a separate php-xml rpm that fixes it right up.
