Hello ! I'm using Apache Prefork MPM on my server (Centos, 12 processors, 64 Gb ram) but I don't know if Prefork MPM is appropriate for my server which is used only for two Invision Power Community suites. I read this about Prefork and Worker but I don't understand what it means exactly : What should I use in your opinion : Prefork or Worker ? Will it make a difference if I use Worker instead of Prefork ? Thank you !

I'm currently reviewing my hosting. My site atm is on a KVM SSD VPS with the following specs: CentOS 6 4 Cores 4GB Memory 80GB SSD Storage 4TB Data I'm wanting to move to CentOS 7 but not sure whether the current specs are an overkill or not. That and should I look at a OpenVZ VPS solution rather than a KVM? What are others running and what's your server load like?

I'm just moved my site on a semi-dedicated hosting plan with 2 CPU cores, 3 GB of RAM, 10Mbps IOPS and 60 concurrent connections (it's not a VPS, it's a shared plan for sites that have high resource needs), but my forum is still not loading fast. It's true, I have a slider with the latest gallery images on the homepage, but even so, I was expecting faster speed on this new hosting plan. Can any of you help me improve my forums' speed?

Before switching from http to https we doing some test so, i want my Website to be accessible as well with http as https. Currently the Website is working fine with http://recifalnews.fr, but with https://recifalnews.fr the webpages are not fully with https. The ‘https’ page contains some menus and images url, for example, with the ‘http’ protocol. The page content is supposed to use the same protocol as the calling page : http when calling with http and https when calling with https. Another possibility is to have all the pages starting with / (without prococol or domain). How to do have http & https working properly?

Researchers have discovered a serious security vulnerability in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) used by Linux since late 2012 that allows attackers to compromise users' internet communications remotely. According to a research study published by researchers from the University of California, Riverside, the flaw could potentially be used by threat actors to "launch targeted attacks that track users' online activity, forcibly terminate a communication, hijack a conversation between hosts or degrade the privacy guarantee by anonymity networks such as Tor." Although most internet users do not use Linux directly, the software does run on internet servers, And…

Hi all, I have the following query appearing very frequently in the slow query log: # Time: 160819 19:41:51 # Query_time: 0.565665 Lock_time: 0.000026 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 246907 # Rows_affected: 0 SET timestamp=1471653711; /*??*/ SELECT ipb_id FROM `convert_link_topics` WHERE foreign_id=56575 AND ( type='topics' OR type='forums_topics' ) AND app=2; I realize that 0.5-0.7 seconds isn't a huge deal, but it is somewhat more important because of the frequency. I'm interested in what this table does for one thing. Another item is that it appears this query isn't using indexes properly. Notice that it is examining about a quarter mi…

Hello. I'd like to enable friendly urls, but i already have a .htaccess. which runs important rules for my external website. Combining it doesn't work. My current code: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\_\-]+)\/([a-z0-9\_\-]+)/?$ index.php?action=$1&sub1=$2 [NC,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\_\-]+)/?$ index.php?action=$1 [NC,L] I made it to work for the whole website and forums except ACP. Going to /admin/ ends with The page you requested does not exist. How can I make it to work?

Greetings! So I've been doing some looking around at our board's performance and one of the things I've noticed comes from the slow query log. I see queries like this appearing frequently in the slow query log: SELECT msg_id FROM `core_message_posts` WHERE msg_topic_id=1269 ORDER BY msg_date desc LIMIT 0,1; When I run an EXPLAIN against this query, the engine returns a very reasonable result that makes me wonder why it is appearing in the slow log (> 10 seconds needed for execution). However, the slow log tells a completely different story: # Query_time: 11.201518 Lock_time: 0.000019 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_…

Hello ! I have this error on my boards : [[Template forums/front/index/forumRow is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]] Running the support tool doesn't fix it. According to support, the problem looks to be that mbstring that is on the system at the moment does not support the charset within my database. html_entity_decode(): charset `utf8mb4_unicode_ci' not supported, assuming utf-8 Does someone know how to fix this, or a way to get rid of this error ? I use WHM/Centos 7. Thank you !

Hello ! Yesterday, my server stopped working... It freezed (I no longer had SSH access, etc.) and when I rebooted nothing worked... Then I rebooted in rescue mode and it was impossible to mount partitions... I asked my server management company to have a look but they didn't manage to have the server back online... So, I decided to migrate my community to a new server : partition server, re-install files and database, fix a few errors, and I I thought I had made it. But if the index page shows the list of topics, when I click on a forum link or a topic link, I get a blank page : http://forums-enseignants-du-primaire.com/ Can you help m…

Hello IPB community I hope with this topic to explain the basics on how we can plan everything related to end up with a super fast forum ! After telling you something very common that you must not use many addons and try to not use resources from other pages as that will cause delay on loading we can go forward Lets start with VPS servers: We must know what kind of hardware the provider is using and what kind of network connection and the limits that they may have.... Users look for example: typical vps setup company 1: 1vcore, 1gb ram, 20GB disk, 1000Mbit connection shared 10$ typical vps setup company 2: 1vcore, 1gb ram, 20GB …

Hi, I have been using IPS Cloud Hosted since 2012. While I am satisfied with the service, I am paying U$70 a month just to use a Forum (I don't use any other plugin)... with 2-3 months payment I can buy a license to host the forum on a much cheaper place. My question is: Is it easy to do? Is it usually a smooth change? Does IPS offer this kind of migration service? To give you a background on my knowledge, I am the IT guy of a service provider, but while I can do anything related to infrastructure (routers, servers, etc) and have little knowledge on SQL and PHP. Thanks Rafael EDIT: I already ran the tool to test if my server is suitable to run I…
