So I'm a super n00b with web admin, but plodding along and hopefully not mucking it up too much. My open_basedir is set in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to the directory that ips is installed in, which is /home/user/domain.tld/. IPS is the only thing on my VPS. If I ever wanted to host another site on this VPS, would it be a good idea to move the open_basedir setting into my httpd.ini file (or another file tied to my domain)? I'm on ubuntu, and my apache virtual hosts have been set up in a domain.tld file at /etc/apache2/sites-available/. This file has my <VirtualHost> ... </VirtualHost> settings for my domain. Thoughts on how I should be doing this…

Hi I realized Google would index three urls for the same topic : yoursite.com/topic/1874-name-of-topic/ yoursite.com/topic/1874-name-of-topic/?do=getNewComment yoursite.com/topic/1874-name-of-topic/?do=getLastComment which makes a lot of duplicate and can harm the SEO of your site there might me some more duplicate urls in IPB4 but these are the first i noticed Then, you could add in your robots.txt this to stop this duplicate : Disallow: /*?do=getNewComment Disallow: /*?do=getLastComment or more simply if i am correct : Disallow: /*? Remind that Robots.txt only disallow crawling but not indexation …

Hi, I noticed after upgrading to IPB4 and switching webhosts, in google search for my site there is no longer any crawler links, in fact all it shows is initially I thought this had something to do with cloudflare, but it seems it's caused by my robots.txt file User-agent: * Disallow: / Disallow: /cgi-bin/ I have no idea how it was set up before, can anyone tell me how to enable crawlers safely(only giving them access to appropriate stuff)

Hi, Since upgrading to IPS4 our site is constantly suffering from a "too many [MySQL] connections" error. We've increased the no. of available connections (it's a dedicated server, not shared hosting) incrementally to 350 (from an original 150 which we used with IPS3), which has reduced the occurrence of the error, but it still happens. Having looked at the running MySQL process, this seems to be due to a lot of MySQL processes waiting for a table lock. Any ideas about how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I installed a demo board to test and upgrade from 3.x to 4.x of the suites version. Although I've always used utf8 encoding the script told me that not every table was set correct, so it needed to be fixed. It was changed from utf8_general_ci to utf8_unicode_ci. My problem now is: before the upgrade the german 'Umlaute' worked perfectly (ö, ä, ü, ß). After the upgrade I'm getting cryptical symbols. Editing those lines and setting e.g. ö again fixes this. It is then displayed as ö. Now my question is: Is this intended or is there any quick solution how to change those bugs throughout the suite? I've seen a script from adminarea.de but b…

I've been working on installing IPS 4 inside of Docker and I have a somewhat functioning setup for doing so. If you're interested, extract the attached ZIP into a fresh download of IPS 4 and run 'docker-compose up' (assuming you've setup Docker and Docker Compose) in that directory. You should end up with a set of containers: MariaDB Nginx + PHP(5)-FPM Redis (caching) Watchtower (automatic updates of Redis and MariaDB) Every container will automatically update either itself (nginx) or via Watchtower (everything else), which should make some things easier. However, it will currently take containers down when they need to be updated, so you shoul…

Can anyone recommend a solution that backs up my server, more specifically my forums, automatically nightly to a cloud or another offsite option? I looked at some online services, and they are ridiculously expensive. Thanks for any help Seth

Hi, Till now we are using PHP sessions by files. I've read that handling those by Memcached could speed up our server. Is it worth to change? Is it safe for IPB environmnet to have PHP Sessions in Memcached? Any experience? We are using nginx/fpm-php/memcached/mysql

Hi. So I requested a demo on the IPS site to test the Commerce APP. I created a product and uploaded an attachment to it, it was a 1GB file. It worked just fine, the attchment dialog didn't say anything about any limits, it's not there. So then I purchased the app and I'm testing it on my server under my test site. Ran into this: - My account group upload space was limited, so I set it to unlimited. - php upload_max_filesize was set to 2 megs, so I set it to 5 gigs for testing. Also did this for post_max_size. - Next the attachment was limited by php memory_limit, so I set that to 5GB too. I went back to the edit the product and upload the at…

DO NOT USE THIS ROBOTS.TXT CODE, AS IT MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. READ ON TO FIND OUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD. Unless I've missed something I noticed that IPS4 doesn't have a robots.txt file and I've also noticed that a lot of links appearing on Google (First page) for my site is "Email this page" which is a little concerning. I'm not sure if this should be applied; so instead of uploading it to the marketplace I've added it here for all to see and scrutinise, because I am no expert. So basing it loosey off the one that comes with IPB 3.4.8, I've compiled a basic one for IPS4 installations. # HOW TO USE THIS FILE: # 1) Edit this file to change the leading in "/" to t…

I am testing for a new installation of IPB4 and started with a fresh install. I am using Mariadb 10 on a 4GB,2-Xeon,SSD VPS. I wanted to use innodb so I tried to convert all tables of the fresh database from MYISAM to INNODB. For 2 of the tables (cms_databases and cms_page_widget_areas) this is not possible as I get an SQL Error 1071: "Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes ". I am using utf8mb4. I found some info via google on this error. Maybe it can be solved by enabling innodb_large_prefix setting, but I do not want to change things too much to have a risk of incompatibility in the future. So I like to keep the IPBoard installation as simple as p…

For the past couple weeks I have been having problems with permissions in cpanel being changed causing Error 500 messages and the site to be down. When I look in public.html, the permissions are being changed from 0750 to 0777 for an unknown reason. I contacted my hosting company and they didn't seem to know what was up, just told me the problem. I contacted Invision and was told to run the latest upgrade which I did and hoped it would solve the problem. However it's still happening and for some reason permissions again were reset to 0777 very late last night causing the Error 500. I have been online with the hosting company for the past hour and they are saying its…

For the last few years, our website -- which features a forum with ~6 million posts and hundreds of concurrent users (with spikes sometimes into ~1000 concurrent, when a popular TV show is airing) and a MediaWiki install -- has struggled with the load of traffic it's received. We've augmented things by adding a Varnish cache, and even a second server, and still we struggle a bit. So looking for some advice about whether the issues is tuning things right, or if we need to augment with more RAM or even another server! Server 1: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31270 @ 3.40GHz 8GB RAM Presently very underutilized, only handling the web traffic and MySQL DB of a…

So just a few general questions about. Firstly does anyone have a list of the exact extensions required for IPB suite? I'm presuming mbstring, curl, mysql, mysqlite but any others? Also using FAST CGI, how many instances do you tend to run per core? I saw elsewhere the recommendation is 8-10 instances per core, which seems a bit extreme - I'm running a new server that has 2 x Intel E5 2620 so with 24 cores that's like 200-250 odd instances.. surely not? I've got mine set at 24 currently.

Hi. I have a ipb4 install with about 6000 visitors per day/5000 uniques, about 120-150 concurrent users, and about 12k page views daily. what are the average hardware requirements for such a size board? I currently have this running on a vps with 1gb guaranteed memory and it constantly uses above 90%. im looking to confirm if this is normal or there are measures to be taken. Thanks
