Google's pagespeed insights was telling me to "leverage browser caching" and I have heard that pagespeed can now affect pageranking I couldn't find anyway to get it to go away by changing up cache settings within adminCP The way I got rid of it was to add the following to my .htaccess file - just wondering is there anything wrong with doing this? ## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month" ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month" ExpiresByType appli…

Hey, I just converted from phpbb3 and set the forums, permissions etc. All were great until now. I'm getting this strange error and cannot figure out what would be the problem: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 419430400 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 315692 bytes) /admin/applications/forums/sources/classes/topics.php on line 183 I changed the memory limit to higher but I get the same error. Any suggestions?

After doing a server switch, I ran into this issue Your settings could not be read by IP.Board. This is a fatal error and IP.Board cannot function while this issue persists. This issue is generally caused by changing your character set in the ACP to one that does not support data stored in the rest of your settings, or by restoring a database backup/completing a server transfer and importing your database tables using the wrong character set or collation. You should contact IPS Technical Support for further assistance. I'll tag @adonismale or @AndyF as they may know what to do

As the title states I'm trying to convert my vbulletin forum 3.8.8 to Invision powerboard. Part of the problem is the size of the sql database is 4.4gb so I get timeouts and eventually errors converting no matter how many cycles I lower it to. I'm guessing that I should run the installation locally then upload the files to the server? I have never done anything like this before but I'm so fed up with vbulletin that I'm willing to try. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm taking baby steps currently and have MySQL Workbench installed but that is as far as I have got.

My mySQL config (on Windows) is a hodgepodge of settings that work, but I know it is far from optimized. I running two IPB's on an Azure VM (small) with 1.75GB ram. Total db size when dumped is about 1GB. I average about 300 users in a 15 minute period according to IPB stats. Here's my config: [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 sql-mode="NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION" log-output=NONE general-log=0 general_log_file="WEB-01.log" slow-query-log=0 slow_query_log_file="slow.log" long_query_time=10 max_connections=100 query_cache_size=16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_open_cache = 256 tmp_table_size=10M thread_cache_size = 8 myisam_max_sort_file_size=100G…

Hello, I've been trying enabling and desabling Memcache from my server to test the results. With Memcached disabled i have 4 Slow Queries per day(when Sphinx runs at night) and a Query Cache Efficiency of 70%. With Memcached enabled i have about 100 Slow Queries per day and the Query Cache Efficiency drops to about 30%. Apart from this i don't notice any changes regarding speed when browsing the board. Is this normal?

Hello, well my Host (inmotionhosting.com) cant explain me anything, and they felt deeply insulted when I told them to find another job, if they cant explain what this means... This is my question, same i asked them: Could anyone explain what open connections means- My account can have 30 open connections at once... *edit: From Hosting: " This is largley dependent on your site coding. The code should close the connections when not needed to avoid too many open connections. "

With the IPS4 beta code and documentation about phpredis I created a Redis class for Invision Board 3.3.x and 3.4.x With some simple file modifications you can make this easily work on your own webserver to make use of the very fast Redis key-value store. Please notice you first have to install Redis and the PHP Redis module on your server. It seems Redis only needs a few MB of memory to store the date. This will be probably more with IPS4, because IPS has many caching improvements. 1. Download the attachment ( RedisCache.zip ) and upload classCacheRedis.php to the ips_kernel directory 2. Add the following code to ipsRegistry.php in admin/sources/base above the …

Seeing several errors related to invision forum pages beginning with "PHP Warning: Error While sending QUERY packets". I've search the internet and everything I've read is that my max_allowed_packet variable in my.cnf is too low. I've been raising it steadily but error has not gone away. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to fix it? I'm using Apache 2.4.10, PHP 5.5, and Maria DB 10.0.15. Thank you for any assistance.

I'm hoping someone else has seen this error. We have been seeing these a few hundred a day for a while now and I've tried all kinds of things to reduce with very little luck. Haven't determine the trigger for it but it is only impacting are largest site running Invision 3.4.7. All modules are up-to-date and we are using Apache 2.4.10 on an Ubuntu 14.04 server with PHP 5.5.19-1. Looking through the Internet I've found tons of people seeing these issues but no clear cut answer as to how to diagnose and fix it. Usually the error just goes into the error log and has no impact that I can find but every now and then, maybe once a day the server becomes unresponsive (only f…

Hi All, So, once or twice a week my site goes down at the moment. WHen I log in to the server, I see a heap of php-cgi processes with high (20%+) CPU usage. What I know; Newrelic reports time spent is on /forums/index.php which doesn't really help as I dont think ?app=blah would register a separate transaction, so I can't rely on this. Newrelic confirms that the number of processes does not change. The PHP processes stays at 51 which is what it is set to. Newrelic also confirms that I have a lot of available memory. 6GB available at last crash, so its all CPU. So, I have no idea where to look. I keep throwing more resources at my site and it keeps hitting the …

Hi Recently I have noticed that it takes very long when someone tries to create an account on my forums. When they click submit it at least takes a few minutes before the account is created. Ipboard is 3.4.7 and it is self hosted. Is there anything that you think could be causing this? Thanks

Hoping for some help here, as I'm totally lost. I'm running an older version of IPB (3.2.3) which I intend to update with 4.0 at a later date. Yesterday (9/10) my current host was experiencing downtime (not an uncommon occurrence for them - can't really recommend Host4Geeks) and I was speaking with a new hosting site about migrating, but my cpanel credentials were not working, so I requested a temp password. after a few failed ones, it finally took, and my new host returned to say that my site was too large for a free transfer, so nothing was done. Around this time my site came back online, but the most recent posts showed from early 10/13, almost an entire year b…

Hello there. I run IPB 3.3.4 and have always had a server load at about 1.02 or something. I'm looking now and it's now 4.08. That's quite a jump! Nothing has changed except since my license has expired and I haven't renewed it, the spam monitoring service isn't running anymore. Under my resource usage stats, my CPU usage % seems higher than it used to be as well. But I haven't gotten any notices from my host that I'm being a resource hog though. Is 4.08 high? What could be the cause of the jump?

I'm trying to speed up my site, and yet keep it somewhat secure. The site is 100% SSL/HTTPS with a legit certificate... I've tried using Nginx, Pagespeed, Caches (such as Varnish, APC) a few years ago and go absoultely no where with them (As they slowed down my site, not sped it up). So over the last months I've been trying other methods, optimising as many images (With kraken.io) as possible and managed to reduce my home page from 8.99MB to a sweet 1-2MB, and I enabled HTTP-Keep Alive which has seen some positive results. I even started trying to minifying ips.js (And other .js files), and it's so far working but I have no idea if that's just a cache somewhere or if I'm…

I submitted a ticket to IPS about this and was referred to it being a server configuration issue which it very well could be. We had this issue on our old server and it was getting to be time to get a new one anyway so I wrote it off as being slow hard drives affecting mysql performance. Now we are on a new dedicated box with ssd drives. We do have cpanel currently and apache 2.4, php as a dso module with mod_ruid2 and mysql 5.6. The site itself is fast, replying to a thread is pretty quick as well. However when submitting a new thread it takes over 15 seconds for it to go through. If you submit a new thread and while it is waiting to load the new page if you click on…
