Our existing IPB rests on a OS X 10.4 server with PHP 4. Now it's finally time to move the domain and IPB to a new server, which is an OS X 10.8 and PHP 5. So, how is the easiest way to do this? I thought I'd seen a tutorial on this, but I can't find it at the moment. Moving the domain etc is no problem. The problems are; What should the SQL database be named? Are there any PHP scripts that should be copied? Etc...? Help appreciated, /andreas

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting this, but is there a way for me to add a portal to my version of 3.4.5? I've searched the downloads section but none were in my revision. Am I missing something or is there not a download for this? If not, is there a good substitute that I can add so it lands on like, a "home" page? Oh and another thing, my website has "Invision Power Board" as its name in the tab. Is there any way I can change that?

I'm about to attempt a conversion and install from phpBB to IP Board on a GoDaddy shared hosting, Linux, unlimited account. I ran the compatibility checker and got these results: My first question is what do I do to fix the Fails? Second, I am not an experienced IT guy, so I need help with the php.ini file change. I need to change that to 128mb and GoDaddy has these instructions: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/1409/increasing-user-file-upload-limits-using-phpini-on-your-linux-server?pc_split_value=4 Problem is, I am confused about where the correct php.ini file is. I found two in my FTP, one php.ini and one php5.ini. Do I only cha…

We've migrated our biggest site to IPB but haven't switched over yet as we're still testing. I've noted very slow page load times when viewing Forums and Topics. Takes roughly between 4-6 seconds after clicking a post for it begin loading and then a further 2-4 seconds to complete. Forum views are slightly quicker but still subject to a delay. Other pages like Classifieds load instantly. As this is a test site we only have 2-4 users online so we're not experiencing heavy traffic conditions. What can we check / configure to speed things up?

Is your board slow? Mine was. I just switched to a new VPS that has SSD storage (this is a must have even if you don't use nginx). I installed the cpnginx plugin for cpanel, and now my board is faster than it ever has been. I have 4GB of ram at my disposal, which before I installed the nginx plugin I was almost maxing that out. Now I am only using on average 20% of that. I am thoroughly impressed. I am sure there is more i can do to optimize my page load though.

Okay I did all the other steps but I got confused on Step 4: Master CSS Files This is the part is weird, Let me explain more about this: To use the master_css: Go to public/style_css/ Make a copy of the css_1 directory, and rename the copy to master_css. Okay now when I go to my FTP account then look for public/style_css then start looking for css_1 directory, guest what I can't find css_1 in style_css. Is css_1 is the default skin for Ip.Board ? if it is then mine is css_6 Idk why I don't have css_1 So please explain how can I do this.

Hi, For my forum (3000 users, 700000 posts, usually about 150-200 users online) I have a VPS with: RAM 3072 MB Discspace 30 GB CPU-cores 2 × 2.4 Ghz @ 80% my database filesize is 1GB Will it improve the page load time of my website if i get better cpu, more ram or more discspace? I am using the latest ipboard with wordpress via ipsconnect. Also, I couldn't find much about mod_pagespeed here. Is anyone here who is using it and is seeing improvements in their page speeds?

We are hosting our own server, it's a Mac OS X 10.4.11 with PHP 4.4.9 We have some problems with our forum that is due to a low memory limit in PHP. However, I have changed the memory_limit on every place I could found (to 256M), without success. Is there any way to *verify* the set memory_limit? php -i dosen't give me a clue. Further, there is a line enabling "Zend Memory Manager". What is this and should it be on? We are moving the forum to a new server later this year, but it's nice to have it working in the meanwhile. Thanks, /andreas

Query about bridging MediaWiki and IPB on current site PCGamingWiki.com. May pay if necessary. May be opportunity for long term server administration as well. Currently there is a bridge between the Wiki and PHPBB3 as well as a number of other wikis such as this one. I had a person who managed my server and developed the initial Wiki and PHPBB3 bridge, but might not be able to maintain it in the future. I’m deprecating PHPBB3 in favour of IP Board because of its more powerful features. The main objective is to link the accounts, so a user can use the same credentials to login to IP Board and the wikis. I intend to set up IP Board on the subdomain http://community.…
