I'm trying to make things on our site as fast as possible and we are now running pretty fairly quick but the first byte seems to be taken for ever. Our setup is as follows VPS with share of 24 processors (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz ) 5.575GB RAM 90GB SSD Nginx memcache pagespeed 10.1.13-MariaDB (mostly InnoDB) changing these over at present.

Hi all, Just a quick question, what would be the best PHP vers to upgrade from 5.4, seeing as that's soon to be EOL. I can upgrade to any version as I'm currently testing out v.3.4.9 so it needs to be fully compatible, with the intention of upgrading to 4.1.10. Thanks, all.

I know that in IPS 3.xx each page/block has revisions history so you can easily restore any previous revision. I'm pretty sure this mechanism should exist in 4.xx as well, but I don't see it. Can someone point me in the right directions?

Hi Many users asking to get super fast performance for IPB forums and very low (cpu) server load... I want to explain a few things in general and without technical stuff bellow so members will not get confused on how it works and how they must think of it. Imagine that you have a video file to convert on you pc (4 cpu cores). If you use 1 core the load will be low but the task will not be fast. If you use 4 cores the load will be high but the task will finish very fast. You can't have them both as on the first scenario it will be slow and for the second scenario it will not be stable and no resources will left for the system or any other soft…

Hi, for years I have been looking for a list that contains all the variables that can be used on the templates to fetch data such as $this->memberData['member_id'] that produces the ID of the member that is seeing the page or $this->memberData['members_display_name'] that produces their name but Im still unable to find it. Is there anything like that I can use as a reference? Thank you.

Hi, I have a small forum running on IPS 4.1.9 and for the last two weeks I am struggling with the disk space usage. There seems to be an issue with the MySQL size, slowly and constantly growing with about 100-120 mb per day. With apparent no reason, since there is no activity on the forum nor new users registered. How can this happen? And what can I do about it? I am not so much in IT and this seems to be over my head. Is it happening only to me, or others as well? LE: browsing through the forum settings, found that Data Storage Method was set to File System and not MySQL and this does not make any more sense to me why mysql goes up in size.

Hi, We recently upgraded to 4.1.9 and having some performance issues. If anyone can help me out to resolve these issues that will be great. 1) Page load issues. Pages are loading very slow compared to previous version. Out post table size is 5GB and 90% of the posts belong to 1 perticular forum. Other forums are loading fine but the forum with highest number of posts is very slow. Also if i archive the posts will it increase the performance? Will the archived posts show in search results? Please let me know.

Hello ! I've upgraded my board to version 4 and it's not doing well at all right now : it takes about 40/50 seconds to load a page at peak times, and often the board simply doesn't respond... => I get a list of mysql processes which grows longer and longer, until I stop the website or restart services. => The server load isn't that high : between 3 an 5 (perhaps because of the content being rebuilt ? - it used to be about 1.50 with IPB 3.4). => I see a long list of php lines when doing a Top (SSH) and the first line corresponds to a php or mysql command, using more than 90 % of CPU. IPB 3 was doing very well, mainly because I had the sess…

First, I know, I know -- everyone here recommends Nginx for front-end caching! That said, we had used Varnish very successfully for several years, and while we're eyeing Nginx, it'll be a few months before things are quiet enough that we can consider the switch. So, what I'm asking about concerns Varnish, but I'm hoping those with experience with Nginx or other front-end caching solutions might have some ideas about how to fix the issue we're having. Namely, we have gotten people contacting us that our IPS4 forum tells them they are banned (giving message 2s160/4, which from my reading here is probably more a 'Something went wrong message' than 'You are banned messag…

Hello ! After converting my database to innodb, I noticed that my server is swapping, but this problem happens only when there is a WHM backup running. This backup is resource intensive and when it begins, I see the swap value steadily rising from 0 to about 600. And everyday, the swap rises each time a backup is running... What are the solutions, in your opinion ? Here is what ./mysqlmymonlite.sh mysqltuner returned : Thank you.

G-Morning. Just to get it out of the way: nginx 1.9.12 (ssl/http2) php 5.6.19 mariadb 10.1.12 (all tables InnoDB, tuned to a degree with mysqltuner.pl) redis-server 3:3.0.7 nginx/php on one VM, maria/redis on second VM, both 4GB/4vCPU/SSD, different hosts, local LAN between them. 2M posts, ~100 users online avg. Converted from vB4 > IPB3 > IPB4. Using my own nginx/php configuration but essentially similar to Makato's guide. I've got the responsiveness of the board where I expect it (better than what vB4 was), page loads are essentially instant to the end user, Chrome is reporting anywhere from 1-2 seconds, but anything that involves new con…

Hello IPB Community, I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere, but what i've been founding on google haven't helped me much. I wish to restyle the CKeditor to match my dark theme, but it's very difficult to edit. I've went into the skins files to see if i could modify some of the skins. I even went on their website to add their monoo dark skin, which is totally outdated design wise, and the background is still white.. I also tried the contents.css file (outside the skins folder) which didn't change anything for me.. If i want to edit the colors. What's the best approach for this? What i've found on google haven't helped me :/. Thanks in adva…
