Following the advice from GreenLinks, I think I am ready to move from MySQL to Percona. From what I understood, it is a drop-in replacement to MySQL, you just change the binaries, keep the /data directory and it works as MySQL would. Now, my question is on the web server side (we run the webserver on a separate server). Would we need to recompile PHP or PHP's native MySQL drivers are able to communicate directly with Percona? Any other advice or information I should know before proceeding? Another question, does Percona perform better than MySQL for other platforms as well or just with IPB? Thanks, Gabriel.

I want a faster IPS community. The forum is the most used IPS feature of my website, with short data being read and written to MySQL DB. As long as the data that is written and read is not big, 2 SSDs in RAID 0 are going to be faster then 1 SSD? I fear that the latency of 2 SSDs in RAID 0 could be higher than for only 1 SSD, and for small data transactions, 1 SSD could perform better than 2 SSDs in RAID 0. Has anyone tried these setups?

Hi, We use Xcache on our installation. On another topic, Grumpy recommended: Installing php opcache (like zend opcache) Installing user cache (like APCu) Xcache is already a PHP code optimizer, PHP code cache, and PHP variable cache. I wonder if Xcache alone is enough of if I should replace it with other solutions. Your thoughts? Thanks, Gabriel.

Hello, Im thinking of installin Sphing on my VPS and start using it. If i do so, its better to convert the post table to innodb? Also, its safe to convert back and forth the post tables from myisam to innodb and vice-versa?

I have set IP.Board to use Memcached as the cache system, including the data in the config file: $INFO['use_memcache'] = '1'; $INFO['memcache_server_1'] = '127.0.0.1'; $INFO['memcache_port_1'] = '11211'; My forum has about 500 users in each 15 minutes, but phpMemcachedAdmin shows as little as 20 mega as cached file. I wonder if it's really working. On the Admin it says: Memcached commands API used by phpMemcacheAdmin PECL Memcache was found on this server PECL Memcached was not found on this server

Just wanted to say, wow, about the difference between having your files and database on HDD vs files on HDD and database on SSD. Wanted to speed up my site a bit and after a bunch of optimizations of stuff and cache and so on software-wise, I decided to try moving database to SSD. Here are the results of todays server upgrade: Single HDD for files and databases with RAID1 before the upgrade: Separated database from HDD and setup to run from SSD (also RAID1): Very nice results... :D

I enquired with host company today if we could enable xcache on our VPS service, as it's not available by default with them (hostgator) - they informed me that xcache isn't compatible with ioncube loader and we would need to disable ioncube loader. Unfortunately we need the ioncube loader and we are going to be purchasing IP Nexus in the near future also. Running ioncube loader v4.6.1, php 5.4.29 - I've read that xcache does and doesn't support ioncube v2 of xcache did support it and I read we would need to run v2 of xcache but that was posted in 2012 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ius/+bug/1088667/comments/5 The question is, can we run both of them together and what …

Hey guys, I was running an update on my server from MySQL 5 to MySQL 5.5. After the upgrade, all my sites works fine, but I cannot connect to my IPB forums. In Firefox, all it says is "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." -- it's not loading at all. Any ideas? Site is here: http://aphnetworks.com/forums/ Apache version 2.2.27 PHP version 5.4.30 MySQL version 5.5.37-cll

I guess google is getting worse results with the recent algorithm changes. I cannot find a good tutorial on how to enable Event MPM and php-fpm in a Cpanel box. Unfortunately, Cpanel does not support EasyApache for that. You can build Apache 2.4 with Event MPM and PHP 5.5 (that has php-fpm built-in), but you cannot enable php-fpm, so php engine dies as long as in Event MPM mod_php does not work, only in Prefork MPM. I have made a good research between Nginx + php-fpm and Apache 2.4 + Event MPM + php-fpm and I really would like to use the last configuration on a Cpanel box, to make things more close to the Cpanel built-in software, mainly for easier updates. …

Hi Everyone, My shared hosting company asked me to move out since I use too many resources on their server. My idea is to use Linode (Linode 2GB) since it is a reliable company with a good network / location for my visitors. The forum is the bottleneck based on my hosting company and we did what we could to optimize the forum as much as possible (no +/- 1, not displaying visitors in topics, etc...). I plan on using Nginx with PHP-FPM and MySQL 5.6 (or MariaDB) instead of the current Apache 2.2, old hard drive, MySQL 5.5. Our database is not so large, 800k messages, 1.5GB large with 100-150 users at the same time browsing through with peak at around 500-600…

I have followed the PageSpeed instructions to enable the Admin Panel for this Apache mod: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/admin <Location /pagespeed_global_admin> Order allow,deny Allow from localhost Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from MY IP SetHandler pagespeed_global_admin </Location> But when I try to access the Admin Panel via browser, IPS sends an Error 404. The handler suffers from IPS conflict (pretty URL rewrite). How to solve it?

As some may know i use Exchange 2010 here on domain for mail for the family and I really like it, however its weak point is easily configurable anti-spam control. Forefront works but has a very limited remote config panel so you basically have to RDP in to make changes, approve flagged items, etc. So I got looking around for some open source items to use for spam, I tried a few with limited results, then I came across Xeams email and spam control server which is free. I read up on it and decided to install it as smtp proxy for spam control to Exchange. Took me about 10 minutes or so to get it running and it works really well. One thing not well mentioned in the do…

Hello, I'm running IPB 3.4.0 and already applied that patch that correct some performance issues, but I'm having a lot of performance problems since prior versions. Mostly with locked mysql queries from IPB. Talking with my webhost(Knownhost) and after doing a lot of tweaks in the server to minimize the problems, they told me to talk with IPB to enable the "innodb_file_per_table" option in MySQL configuration and switch ibf_content_cache_posts from MyISAM to InnoDB, to increase performance. But I need to know if IPB work correctly with that settings changed. Unfortunately the support is too slow... I already sent a ticket to IPB about 6 hours ago and I'm still wai…

What is the best way to deal with these kind of accounts. I've been operating under Invision Power Board for about 3 weeks now and there are 30-50 un-validated accounts pending. I really don't know what the best way to process these accounts out, or not. I'm thinking that set a number of days to be validated then have the account purged. I'm not sure if this is the best solution, or maybe someone else has a better solution, and why that solution works for you. Thanks...

Hi Not sure if anyone can assist me. If I run my site with 128mb of memory, then I periodically get an internal server error [Sun Jun 22 18:56:39.967995 2014] [:error] [pid 5451] [client x.x.x.x:56528] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18359 bytes) in /home2/xxxxx/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsMeipsMember.php on line 2951 is the first error I received tonight. I have been running memory at 512mb which is crazy, but at least I do not get any internal server errors then. However switched back to 128mb a few hours ago. So the error is not immediate. Nothing (that I can find) was running in the sch…

The time to first byte in my server is about 0,4s. I want to reduce it to 0,2s. As I use cpanel, I want to keep apache and do not want to use any nginx plugin. I have read this article about disabling apache modules that are not used by many websites to make apache faster: http://haydenjames.io/strip-apache-improve-performance-memory-efficiency/ I would like to know which modules IPS needs to run, as long as my server runs only IPS. Thanks for any help.

Not sure if this is in the correct category but here goes. I'm looking for support on shortening my URLs just like the IP modules. But I want the URLs to mirror not just a simple redirect. For example: {board_url}/gallery MIRRORS {board_url}/index.php?app=gallery I want to add my own for custom apps: {board_url}/upload MIRRORS {board_url}/index.php?app=upload One for the messaging system: {board_url}/messages MIRRORS {board_url}/index.php?app=members&module=messaging And others for forum url masking: {board_url}/news MIRRORS {board_url}/forum/1-news-and-info Also while I'm on the subject is it possible to have a redirect for viewing your own profile such …

So. Downloaded that thing to prepare for IPB4, and it told me I should upgrade mysql. So I tried. Followed all the instructions, I swear. It did not end well, had to reinstall mysql completely, but I think it is done now, the only thing is - board is not working yet, driver error thingie. After 6 hours of search, I remembered there was an error log in that cache folder, and it said this: Error: 1045 - Access denied for user '‘da_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I did set up a user "da_admin" through ssh when I was installing that monster, and set password for it, but user before for forum was "admin_forum". So changed that in conf_global.php, from "admin_f…
