I am using apache/mysql and thinking of moving to another server which uses LiteSpeed. They say LiteSpeed is an in-place replacement for apache but can IPB4 work with LiteSpeed out of the box? Anyone with hands-on experience on the matter?

Someone keeps adding files into my forums root directory. I received emails from google and another country about phishing going on. I deleted all the suspicious files and folders and even turned the forums offline, in case there is an exploit related to actual posting or uploading or searching or whatever else. What else can I even do? So far no response from IPS, no response from my host, my host's support system is ridiculous, with buttons not even submitting tickets (until I finally found another place to submit from) and the password reset doesn't even work so I can't change my password sicne I don't remember my old one (I had it stored in the browser). This is a rea…

Hello ! I've installed mod_security on my server. I'm afraid it may prevent people from using my board (it did a few years ago). For instance, I have dozens and dozens of line like this one the logs : Can you tell me how to prevent "false positives" (so to say) so that mod_security is compatible with IPB ? Thank you !

Hi, I am currently upgrading my forum to 4.0.10 from 3.4.x. I performed this upgrade in my local machine once to simulate the upgrade. However, I was wondering if the forum could be moved from innodb to MyISAM. My forum's DB is almost 4GB and even I've read and I've been told that working with InnoDB could be a nightmare if my dedicated server is not powerful enough. Mine, indeed, is not that powerful and my sysadmin told me that could be tough to manage. Currently my forum sometimes was having DB issues and had to execute mysqlcheck and that kind of jobs almost daily. InnoDB is supposed to be quite tough when table corruptions are occurred. I was wondering if it was poss…

I'm trying to enable Xcache to speed up my site a little more but I can't seem to get it to work. As soon as I upload the 'constants.php' my site throws errors. Can't even hit the "continue" to finish it off. I'm not sure if it's my server configuration (and if it is I have a dedicated server so I can adjust) or if there is something else going on. The error it throws: And when I look in my log file this is the error that it's throwing: I'm not uber familiar with Caching, in fact this is the first time I've even tempted to set it up (but after reading about it I figure it would be good to try).

I'm trying to use a function to clean and make safe my URL or Post strings, for use in a query on the next PHP page. <?php function cleanString($string) { // remove any HTML tags from the string that is invalid or not allowed $name = filter_var($string, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); // HTML-encode special characters like quotes, ampersands, and brackets (in addition to characters with ASCII value less than 32). $name = filter_var($name, FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS); return $name; } ?>I'm using Mysqli procedural queries (switching over …

IPS4 has a number of caching methods available in the control panel, like APC, eAcc, etc. I'm wondering what the best method is to use on my VPS-hosted forum? I was using APC on IPS3.4, but a lot might have changed since then.

Hi, I see it being listed under caching and that a extension is needed (this is as far as my knowledge goes). How does MySQL vs File System fair in terms of performance on a Cloud based package? Then there's GZIP and Memcache, would one go about into installing and getting those up and running? Does it even work and/or supported on the Cloud solution (someone has to have tried or have extensive knowledge about this). Basically my board is really slow: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.clarity-dojo.com/pZjv7sJF while the general rule of thumb is that numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. I do feel and see that the board is slow (this is a clean board btw, I delete…

I held down F5 on my Community. This would end with constant refresh, i checked the CPU while doing so and it went 100%.. I know this same issue existed on 3.4, i hope this will improve on 4.0 soon.. I replicated the same issue on here, i made the response time increase from 0.5 seconds to 16 seconds or even time out (using check-host.net) .. by just holding down F5 lol now my server is set up pretty well, i am using nginx mariadb, apc and memcached..

Hi guys, My Client has a hosting package with iPage and I was asked to install IPB for them and run it ect but Im hitting errors and crap when trying to upgrade and install applications to it. tech support say its iPage issue and guess what!? ... ipage say its software issue so fun times to be had by all. IPB3 worked flawless on there but now its not with IPB4... so my question is to anyone who has IPB4 what hosting plan are you on (the main users will be UK/Europe side, but right now I dont really care on location). FYI the issue according to IPS is "The request variables at the end are NOT populated (the array is empty)." Cheers

Hey there all, I presently use 1&1 for my hosts and have recently got on to them regarding the PHP memory on my server as I only get 120Mb rather than the 128Mb minimum required for the IPS 4.0 update when it becomes available to general release.. I am on the 1&1 Unlimited Plus and they say they are unable to offer me more than I presently get and don't understand why when most hosts are offering more that this and would have thought this would have been something simple for 1&1 to set, so I wondered if anyone else here has managed to get this sorted out, or am i going to have to change to new hosts? Cheers in advance...!

The results I got using Varnish have been nothing short of stellar.. while I'm sure some drawbacks will exist overall I'm extraordinarily pleased with the results. Hopefully a few more people can try this technique and publish their own results to help improve this solution. First of all, mileage may vary on this technique and it can certainly be a part of your overall acceleration strategy. For me, I have a lot of IP.Content stuff as well as a huge amount of bounce traffic from search engines (ie. view one page then leave). For these viewers logging on isn't going to happen.. So to be clear, Varnish is a caching software that I downloaded from http://www.varnish-c…
