I've downloaded Apache 2.4.27 Win32, extract it to the root of my drive, then I followed the 'Read Me First !!' TXT file and this topic here, but for some reason my command prompt is not starting Apache. I don't understand what's telling me. Could someone please tell me what's wrong and how to install it.

For those who are savvy with these sorts of issues: right now I am running the IPS suite on a VPS where PHP is allocated 256MB of RAM. It is possible in the future that I might be migrating to a larger server with 3GB RAM, in which case I thought maybe I would allocated 512MB RAM to PHP. Basically, I was wondering if anyone could say what (if any?) the benefits would be for running the Invision suite? Would more memory for PHP improve performance in any meaningful way? Thanks

Hello, I am hoping the server/database experts out there can help a n00b with this. @ASTRAPI, hopefully you could say something about this? I initially tried converting my myISAM database to innoDB for several reasons, but the result was: ALTER TABLE liquidfr_INVISION.cms_databases ENGINE=InnoDB MySQL said: #1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes So I contacted my VPS provider and they told me this: In short, I want to ask: could making these global changes do anything to irrevocably corrupt my existing myISAM database? Needless to say I've already made a complete site backup, as well as a separate backup of my IPB datab…

I need some basic help. I would like to send out a bulk email to my members. In the administration window, I click on Members > Bulk Email. I wrote my email and it says it has been sent. How long will it actually take to show up? It's been about 15 minutes and I haven't received anything. Will the recipient get an email in their regular email inbox or will it come through the forum? Could it be possible that it will go to spam? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello! I have looked around and it seems that there were a lot of questions about to setup Amazon S3, Cloudfront or even both. For those of you that would a setup like this, i have decided to write up a very quick and simple tutorial. I hope this helps. Step 1: Create Amazon Account (duh) while creating the account is free, their services are not and it's pay as you go so be sure to check their pricing. Step 2: Create an Amazon S3 bucket. When naming the bucket, it HAS to be a global unique name so best practice is to name it whatever you want your domain name to be. e.g. cdn.example.com. For this purpose, i have named mine "tbucket2" Leave everythi…

Hi guys, We run a very busy community, with around 600,000 registered users. We use two dedicated servers. The webserver: PowerEdge R520, 2x Xeon E5-2430, 32 GiB RAM The database server: PowerEdge R520, 2x Xeon E5-2430, 64 GiB RAM, 2x 120 GiB SSD RAID 0, Percona with XtraDB (InnoDB) They are connected through a private Gigabit Ethenet connection to reduce latency and improved security. Since the upgrade to 4.2 this week we are seeing a higher than usual load in our database server. Before, load rarely reached 1.00, usually stayed in the 0.50~0.70 range. Now we are seeing load constantly above 1.00, sometimes reaching 3.00. SHOW PROCESSLI…

Hello, does anyone know how to set BelugaCDN up? @Joel R? I aim to use the service for two sites, so I am unsure if ' call your new CDN sub-domain?' would need to reflect this or the process afterwards. If anyone could help me out, I would be very grateful.

I'm having constant errors when it comes to using the Promote feature on Twitter. Everything's working fine on Facebook. I can also log in to my website using Twitter, I just can't promote. Here's the error I'm having: array ( 'request' => '/1.1/statuses/update.json', 'error' => 'Read-only application cannot POST.', ) I've double checked the Twitter app and it's definitely got it's permissions set to read and write. I also regenerated the API key and secret and re-entered it, but still no luck. I've waited a few days to make sure it's failing but sadly it still is. Anyone else getting this error?

Hi guys, I have finally upgraded our PHP from 5.6 to 7.1, but I am having trouble putting Zend opcache to work. When I enable it, the other websites I have on the same server throw random 500 errors (functions like require() and require_once() are the cause), and I start to see some crazy error messages in server's the error logs such as: Disabling opcache solves this issue, but of course I want opcache to improve performance. Here are the installation details. Compiled PHP with --enable-opcache Relevant php.ini configuration: Zend_extension = /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/opcache.so opcache.enable=1 opcache…

Hello ! On my server, I'm using this Apache configuration : Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6, MPM Prefork. I will soon upgrade Apache, MySQL and PHP (before upgrading my community to version 4.2). Can you tell me which modules I must make sure to install in order to have my community working ? For instance, I didn't know I needed Mbstring when I upgraded to version 4. Thank you !

Is there a place to get affordable (really really cheap) help with setting up the site like i want it? I'd believe it to be pretty basic stuff, like creating a better looking page for articles (grid style), helping out with picking the appropriate (if any) extensions and setting up user permissions. Also any good ideas and feedback would be appreciated, as i am really new to all of this. The presales description sounded so good! but i am having trouble making the site look/feel as good

Hi, We've done load balancing in the past with a different platform, and we are now considering adding a second web server. My main concern is how to deal with installing apps, plugins, and upgrading IPS. In the past we shared only folders where users could upload contents, such as the /uploads folder. Should we share the whole website's root folder with NFS instead? Could anyone who has load balacing enabled chime in? Thank you in advance. Cheers, Gabriel

Hello, I was browsing the marketplace and noticed that I cannot find anymore the utf8 converter which bfarber made ages ago. I need access to it and its nowhere to be found. Thing is that I've bought an old PunBB forum which has database encoded in a windows-1257. So I assume that if I were to purchase a licence and convert it to IPB I would end up having messed up characters. What would be the easiest way to get this all done? I don't believe that Matt's new UTF-8 converter does that. I assume it just changes something in table collation but not the actual posts, topics and so on. Please help me out.

Can anyone please help in explaining how I can setup a site-wide push notification for all visitors. Like once you visit the site pop-up will ask the permission to allow or block, once allowed even the viewer is guest then also it should pop a notification on desktop / phone. This should even work if site tab is closed in the browser. I only want all the forums - new topic push notification that shows which new topic have been just added.

A bit of research tells me that the REST API supports minimal connection between server and client / stateless connections, but apart from that much of the so-called documentation is obscure. #explainittomelikeimfive

Hello, After update from IPB 3.4.9 to current version I face many problems with performance issues. It is connected with after-update tasks like rebuilding post count, etc. We were assured that completing that process is matter of few days, but now it tajes iver 1,5 month and the end is not even near. The main problem it is creating very high page load and for normal users speed of page is dramatically low. I am aware that main reason of that "extra" time is connected with size of my site, but results for community is tragic. I was looking through technical topics, even contacted with official support but with no clear method and answer how to deal with this …
