Hello Yesterday i start to configure nginx with php-fpm and i`m having some hard time making the forum working properly. Main problems are threads,topics,gallery,blog and other pages where the web server found them as 404 error. The only page who does working is the index. Assuming one of the problem it may be regarding apache directives which i have added to nginx conf file reading from many other tutorials but one thing i do not found in those tutorials : the structure of the files from the disk. Im using this structure : /var/www/<domain name>/<php and html files> PS: The php it does working, theres no problem regarding this aspect. Could anybody point m…

My site (linked in my signature) was pushing up on resource limits on my current shared hosting during the peak for the site (towards the end of the football season for the club my site is about). I expect we could see potentially double the amount of people on the site by the end of the year, so I'm hoping to requisition the resources for this level of peak load. We've crashed in the past on the original host I was on (which forces a move to my current host) and I want to avoid any crash happening as we're sponsored and wouldn't want to cause issues with them or lose potential ad revenue. Our CPU usage has always been high (on a shared 'VIP' hosting with shares i…

Hi all, Let me try and quickly give you some background information first. At the beginning of the year I bought an existing domain for which I already had acquired its database, and other rights. It was still running 3.1.2, in a non-standard setup. I managed to get this working under 3.1.4, with as ultimate aim to move it to 3.4.4, etc., and continue from there. However, in order to do so I need not only to have everything working the way it should, which I am quite capable to do, but I also need it to work in a test environment, for testing and developing new products. I travel a lot for work and don't have always access to the internet as a result, but will…

Hey Guys, I hope I can post this here. I recently within the last 6 months purchased a dedicated server from, volumedrive.com. I am sure as you are all aware, there setup time is ridiculously long, it took actually 3 weeks of constant emailing them to get it setup. After alot of patience, needless to say, I was very impressed with the hardware. It was very fast at handling the traffic I had. After 6 months of periodic, down time due to something to do with there uplink, I declined to continue further with there service. I feel its pretty bad when you attempt to go to there site and its down as well as yours. Anyways, there control panel on there site, is horrible. There…

So I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion, set it up, I can checkout and commit fine. However I'm wondering why there are no Icon overlays (green checks/red checks) over the files I have changed and not changed. I wanted to ask if there was something I've possibly missed during the setup that could have caused this? Is it possible something I've done during the setup could have stopped this from happening? I'm 99% sure its not the svn client I'm using on windows as it works for GIT fine. Appreciate any pointers. Edit: WHY does this always happen. Post it, and find the problem. It was client side..needed fixed drives selected in …

I run a fairly large board, 2.6 million posts, > 300,000 unique visits per month, 10 GB or more bandwidth usage per day, up to 5000 users per hour so far, occasionally crazy amounts of spam bots too. We upgraded from 3.1.4 to 3.4.4 recently, and Invision helped us with that, fortunately. We seem to have a bit of a problem with performance now, however, whereas it was mostly ok before. Especially writing to the database appears to be incredibly slow. I tuned the performance of the board myself for 3.0.x and 3.1.x to good effect, and it served us well. The same settings do not help with IPB 3.4.4 however. I made a few changes, and initial loads seem to be fas…

Hi, So I just finally transferred my domain to hvgaming.org from a general subdomain of hvgaming.jjservers.com and I'm happy that it not has its own domain, however whenever I try to access any of my files, admin panel, topics, anything like that, The site is automatically transfered to my host. Which is JJSERVERS.com Is this related to Invision Power Board, or to my host? and if its my host is there a way for me to manually edit the config files and change them to my new domain files. Otherwise I really have no idea what to do.

I have a dedicated Linux server that is currently hosting my forums. I was wondering if I should install a SMTP server, or just use SMTP? I plan on using html emails for news letters every now and then, and was wondering which option would be the best! Thanks :)

Does anybody have any experience using Google's program called page speed service https://developers.g...espeed/service. ? We all know the key to anything on the internet is speed. However, I don't know if Google speed works in a lot of cases because I think a lot of speed problems are associated with the database not the page elements like images, CSS or HTML. That stuff is tiny. Slow site speed may be more associated with a database that may be sluggish. However, I did see some efficiencies when running my url through their test http://www.webpagetest.org/compare Also, I am not sure how popular it would be to point your dns to google. I would be interested in…

Hi! I'm planning to move my forum to another hosting site. The problem is that I'm not sure what hardware configuration will I need and which general hosting options would be suitable. My forum stats are following: - over one million visits per month (average rate is 30-40k per day) - about 400-600 active users during every "last 10 minutes" period - number of active users during last 10 minutes sometimes peaks to 2000-4000 but for short periods. - daily bandwidth rate is ca. 10GB My current hosting option: two VPSes, one for serving board files and one for database. Both machines have (reportedly) Core i5 CPU and 1GB of RAM. Performance is generally OK, ple…

Good day guys, how are you today ? I'm contacting you today because I have two problems with my platform. I would really be grateful if you could assist and make me learn, as I'm a true computer dummy. First, I have two errors in My SQL database and I have a hard time knowing what to do to replace the tables : When I click on delete in member management nothing happens. When I click on the member and then click on delete member, I get this error : I contacted my host but I don't know how to replace these tables. Can you help and show me how please ? Second, new posts and views counts are wrong since maybe a week now. You'll imagine it's hard to fi…

My hosting has just upgraded to php 5.4.14. In this version the min/max functions have been deprecated. To the IPB user this means errors occur. Error messages at the top when managing hooks for a start. It also shows with certain apps (a certain arcade is one, shows when editing cats). Long story short, My host won't downgrade, so I'm now stuck with these errors ( and those I haven't found yet) til invision find a work-around. If you get these errors ( the message mentions min or max) it's the php and by my experience there isn't much you can do about it yourself unless you on a dedi or a home server.

Hi... Moved from PHP 5.2.9 (END OF LIFE) to 5.3.24. After doing so, IP.Board started showing "..." for any thread title that was to long vs just cropping and appending "..." to the end. I would not expect a move from 5.2.9 to 5.3.24 to make an issue. I mean, this IP.Board code is the one that is deciding when to add "..." to the end of something. And when you move to 5.3.24 it ends up doing "..." for the entire text if over X characters in size vs just cutting and adding "..." at the end. See screenshot. Going back to 5.2.9 all works fine...but I can not be on a end of live product like that. I would think someone would know what to look for or a php setting or s…
