Hello I just install on my Nginx server and add Memcache on Invision config file but from the stats it seems that is not working ? Used cache is always the same and very low :sad: Config edit lines: $INFO['use_memcache'] = '1'; $INFO['memcache_server_1'] = '127.0.0.1'; $INFO['memcache_port_1'] = '11211'; Do i have to select it on ACP or do anything else to get it work? Any ideas? Thank you

Hello. I am considering granting access to my server to a longtime staff member that has extensive experience in web design and server management. I feel like he would be very useful in helping to run my site. I have a ton of confidence in this guy and I trust him through and through. However, I still have to be worried that I might be signing away access to my website to him. I don't know what could happen years down the road where he might decide to try "hijack" my site of sorts. I was wondering if there was a file or something that I could mix in with all the other files on the server that would grant me a "back door" into the server in the event that I get l…

First step is to move posts from the archive database back into the regular one: insert into ipb.posts select archive_id,archive_show_edited_by,archive_edit_time, archive_author_id,archive_author_name,archive_show_signature,archive_show_emoticons, archive_ip_address,archive_content_date,NULL,archive_content,archive_queued, archive_topic_id,NULL,archive_is_first,archive_edit_name,MD5(CONCAT(archive_content_date,',',archive_id)), archive_html_mode,archive_edit_reason,archive_bwoptions,0,0,NULL,NULL from ipb_archive.forums_archive_posts Replace ipb and ipb_archive with the correct database names for your installation.

A disgruntled former business partner nuked our OS on a dedicated server, taking out the IonCube Loader (which I wasn't aware was required for Nexus, maybe I missed it in the docs and requirements) and, as a result, I lost a forum site that I had invested fourteen months of hard work into. Trying to get my IPB installation back to some point where I can access the admin CP, I tried to reload the IonCube but it didn't help get the forum back online, so I deactivated Nexus in my suite package at the next renewal. No sense paying for something I'm not using. Same with the 250 chat and everything else but a basic IPB install. I can get to the folders and files on the serv…

I copied my live database to Xampp (localhost) which is running PHP5.4.19 and MYSQL5.5.32. My live site is running PHP5.3.32 and MYSQL 5.5.30. Everything runs fine with one anomaly. When I run the database index checker, I only get a list of only 5 tables instead of the slew of tables shown on the live side. No errors are listed or generated anywhere. I even installed a new empty database and the database index checker shows the same five tables. All other functions including the database checker run normally. (invision support asked me to post here.)

Moved hosts from a home IIS with windows 2008 r2; to a 'nix box on DreamHost; I adjusted the conf file to reflect the information correctly. But no matter what I do i get this error, and i even tried redownloading the ip.board to make sure the files were all there and fine. Warning: file_get_contents(IPS_CACHE_PATHcache/skin_cache/settingsEmpty.html) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/home/ACCTNAME/DOMAIN/forums/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php on line 584 btw I opened a test forum and it works perfect.

I did not find may topics about Cloudflare, so I wanted to see who is using it with their IPB install. All I see is some DNS changes that need to be made, but I'm wondering if it will actually bring in site performance. The security seems a good thing. I mostly want to serve my images a bit faster over maybe a cdn and speed up browsing but since the site is not that big, I don't want to pay allot for a cdn. I have about 23k pages views a month with 3k or so unique visitors, as far as my site traffic. Any suggestions?

Hi, i have few questions about search-engine optimization. 1) As i understood in IPS bots(spiders), don't have separate group, but they use permissions based on guest group. So, if in permissions i set that guests can't read topics, it means that bots also can't index topic titles and tags for topics? Should i make specific group(permission set) for bots? 2) Sitemaps. Is there any step by step tutorial for newbie? 3) Meta tags. To separate them we should use commas? Like: blue yeti, white yeti, brown yeti? after commas we should use white space?

This morning I was setting up my email client through godaddy/outlook for my forum. It failed because I accidentally configured it to ping my forum's URL...which I did over and over again b/c I did not realize the error. In an odd twist of fate, I've been unable to access my forum since this email setup failed. I cannot get on to any page on my forum, ACP and even File Zilla times out when trying to connect to the servers (I host w/IPS). When I couldn't get on with my deskptop, I turned on my laptop and it had the same issue; yet it worked fine earlier. Also, both computers are currently having zero issues accessing every other website on the planet. My site i…

Hi guys. Please advice optimal xcache config to run IPB on quad-core dedicated server with 8GB RAM. Share your config if you find it good enough if possible. P.S. I also heard that it's better to use memcached for variable caching. But if I set var_size=0 in xcache config I get PHP Warnings generated by IPB xcache module. Any idea how to combine xcache + memcached in IPB? Thx.
