Recently installed XAMPP for my local host and installed ipb test board onto it. I have activated my license on it and included the -TESTINSTALL at end of it. I need to make sure my local server is able to communicate with IPS license servers. Is this something that needs to be set manually or does it do it automatically when installed? I have the newest version of XAMPP for Windows and IP.Board 3.4.6 Any tips here would be very helpful. Thanks

My understanding is that CDNs offload the serving of static files to other hosts, reducing server load and hopefully increasing loading speed because of parallelisation as well as hopefully serving files geographically closer to users. I would love to hear from people using CDNs and/or Google's PageSpeed on their experiences. I think this would be a good move for my site, but I am finding it hard to compare options. Cloudflare and MaxCDN both look good, and PageSpeed I'm still trying to figure out -- their test claims it would decrease our load time by about 0.3s, although the video playback looks better than that. If you are using or have used this kind of serv…

Hi, When opening our forums (http://forum.clubedohardware.com.br) I see a five-second lag between hitting "Enter" and the page actually start loading and displaying. I think it should open instantly (whether the page will render instantly is a different history). I'd like to fix this, but don't even know where to start looking. Thanks, Gabriel.

Hi guys I have a site that averages around 150 at anytime, maybe 300 twice a week for around 45mins at a time. My host keeps telling me that i need a performance professional because the site keeps going down. I have cpanel etc and optimise and repair the tables almost daily it seems. I have gone from server 1 to 3 and now 4 of these specs https://www.siteground.com/cloud-hosting.htm What could a performance professional do additionally to my forum. http://forums.cfcnet.co.uk

Not sure if this is correct forum but I was hoping to get some suggestions. I have been on a VPS for my site for a year now and until recently the standard SPAM filtering under the basic CP Panel was fine using the standard Spam Assassin and and bogofilter settings. I recently have seen a large uptick in volume from spam and some is getting through even though I have marked them as spam in the control panel. When I was under shared hosting I had a much more robust way of block based on key words in the emails and blocking at the domain level of the email address, I have nothing like that now. I am not a VPS expert at all so I though maybe some of you guys might ha…

Hello folks, I hope I am in the right area. We recently purchased and installed the IPB software into our public_html folder in a sub-folder named "forums". This public_html is also occupied by a Joomla site we are building. The idea is to have our main landing page site www.widgets.com which we are developing with Joomla, and then we are going to insert a navigation tab on our main site to our IPB forum that will have www.widgets.com/forums. Are there reasons in the realm of SEO that this should not be done? My thinking was if we kept the two sites partnered up, it would be best for both, and also easier on me to administrate. Just to throw out to you what we hav…

Hi guys, We have a high-traffic forums at the moment with: Queries per second avg: 189.481 I'd like to know about aggressive caching techniques for IPB. We've just came from vBullletin, and on that platform we used a terrific product called vb Optimise: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/product/1-vb-optimise/ The savings with this product were phenomenal (traffic on MySQL server came down to 20% of what it used to be), and I'd like to know if there is any similar product for IPB. I've already enabled Xcache with $INFO['use_xcache'] = 1; but at this moment I still can't figure what it exactly caches (the var_names it uses are random letters and numbers, I'd h…

Hello, I have recently taken over the management of a forum and will be moving it over to a new server. Before committing to the transfer, I have been doing some trial runs to make sure everything will wok correctly the day I make it official. With that in mind, and with me being relatively new to managing the forum, I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction with a problem I am having. After completing the file and database backup and restore, I am able to visit the front page of the site and login on the new server, as well as visit the admin CP as well. However when I click on a forum to view it, I get a 404 not found on any thread I lo…

Hi, As per suggestions made here, I decided to move from Apache to nginx. Performance is about the same, so I imagine a few tweaks might be necessary. Information about our hardware specs, traffic, and forum stats are already posted here: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/396624-ipb-aggressive-caching/ Please evaluate as below and let me know what I could be adjusting. Thanks. My current config: nginx.conf: worker_processes 1; worker_connections 2048; keepalive_timeout 5; Top: top - 15:11:45 up 312 days, 17:34, 1 user, load average: 2,19, 1,91, 2,34 Tasks: 186 total, 3 running, 183 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 12,2 u…

As we have a high-traffic forums, we are having some performance issues, to the point nobody can enter our forums. Analyzing with SHOW PROCESSLIST, we saw several locked tables, in particular skin_cache, sessions, and members. Converted these three tables to InnoDB. I don't have bad experience with InnoDB in the past, as on vBulletin it actually decreased performance. However, it seems, at least for me, that selectively using InnoDB in a few tables (those listed above) performance really improved and solved our availability issues (at least for now). I'd love to hear from other people who manage high-traffic forums and their experience with performance…

I never knew about Cache til i started having some problems with my server. I've been told to set up one of those memcache and the rest to get rid of the cache. My host says that I can't unless its a plugin from IPB. I really don't know what to do. How can i fix this cache issue? Is there any plugin? Or any manual way?

Hi After upgrading MySQL I noticed that the default database engine is now INNODB, while my ipb installation is set so the original tables are all MyISAM. Can I safely convert my MyISAM tables to INNODB? I understand that tables that use full text indexing cannot be converted to INNODB. Cheers John

Hi There, I'd like to raise the upload limit on my site to 300MB in IP Downloads. Chaging the upload size alone is not enough because large files are timing out and getting the "No File was selected for upload" error. From reading around it seems these settings need to be changed in my php.ini But changed to what? Anyone have recommendations for what these three settings should be set to for 300MB uploads? :unsure:

Hey guys... So I own my own Linux CentOS 6.5 dedicated server, it's a 12 core server with 8GB RAM.. I have cPanel/WHM installed on it etc.. - For the past 5 hours (approx) my server has been randomly giving me Internal Server Errors, yet when I check the Apache logs, nothing reports.. I was trying to put IP.Board 3.1.x on simply because I want to take some template edits from it to import/use on IP.Board 3.4.6. However, when I tried to install it (after uploading the files) it just came up with ISE.. (Internal Server Error).. So I logged into SSH and did the following (saves time uploading via FTP) root@darknight [/home/<snip>/public_html/phpbb]# wget https://…

Why is the Forum slow after a DB restore? We've had performance issues on our P.Board installation for 1,5 months. Our host had some kind of problem with the db server on 22 Oct and the ibf_posts got corrupt, ending in a db restore. After re-cache and letting it sit for a few days it was still slow. We're on a shared hosting plan, as we want to spend our time serving the members in our community rather than patching os, installing apache and MySQL and fiddling with backups on a VPS. Even with Performance mode on, it was slow, so we upgraded our plan to be allowed to use more CPU load and allocate PHP memory to 256 MB, (we only had 64 MB). It became tempor…

I'm running into an SEO question regarding the weighting of the Forums vs. the weighting of Content. We have our content articles use the forums for comments. Searching in Google almost always brings up the Forum post instead of the Content post. For example doing a search for the title of a content article: "site:cheersandgears.com General Motors Urges Their Dealers To Setup A Tech Center" Only returns the forum post, a page listing tags, lots and lots of stuff except the actual article page. This is very frustrating.... any tips?
