The setting "Default 404 error page" in IP.Content is set to 404.html, and I have created a 404.html page in IP.Content that is accessible to everyone. However, the 404 is only being redirected to in IP.Content. For example, if visiting a non-existent page on the Forums or other apps, it just reloads the page. I had this in .htaccess: ErrorDocument 404 http://xr3x.com/page/404.html I then uploaded a 404.html to the root and tried the following for .htaccess: ErrorDocument 404 http://xr3x.com/404.html ErrorDocument 404 /404.html But same issue! Anyone know what the problem is?

Hello, for the past few weeks our forum has been booming with new members and since then, the site has been very slow and sometimes even offline, even during performance mode. After contacting both the host and IPS, turns out we've outgrown our shared hosting server. I quote: You have 250 users in 15 minutes, that is way more than a shared host can handle in most cases. You also have a peak of 775 users in 15 minutes as well, with numbers in that area, you need a dedicated server to handle the load. Not that I don't believe this, but this would mean going from a hosting package a couple of dollars per month, to something from +150 dollars per month, or at least at o…

Hello, Has anyone had any experience moving their communities to Amazon Web Services? Right now, we have a dedicated Dell server co-located in Chicago. It's got a quad-core Xeon, 8GB ram, and RAID1 15,000RPM hard drives. We're nearing the 3 year mark, and I don't want to use our machine much longer than that. I'm interested in AWS for a few reasons: 1) High availability, 2) impossibly simple scalability, and 3) robust features, like the Cloud Front CDN. We'd likely want to use EC2 for our Linux instances, RDS for our IPS database, and S3 for our data storage. As you would know if you've experimented with AWS, it's VERY TEDIOUS to setup... Does anyone have…

NOTE: This is a review post for the PageSpeed web server module, not for the actual PageSpeed service by Google Now that ngx_pagespeed has improved a bit, and since I've seen a few members discussing the module recently, I've decided to give it another chance. I've spent several hours toying with the configuration and testing the results of various filters. Overall, I still don't find PageSpeed to be worth the hassle. There are a number of reasons for that. The idea/concept behind PageSpeed sounds pretty nice. It has filters that rewrite your forums HTML output. It can collapse whitespace, rewrite your CSS/Javascript and so on. These basic filters alone can shave ar…

I'm currently paying a fair amount to host my forum, but I'm sure I'm over paying and don't need the amount I'm paying for. Forum stats: 750k posts 15k topics 150-200 average online I'm on a cloud server with 2GB ram with a daily backup, and its costing me over £100 a month. What do others use to host forums, what should I really need?

Instead of using innodb, I've switched to tokudb as an experiment in a dev environment. Has anyone tried this? I ran into some strange behaviors so I was wondering if this was too wild a move. Ever since tokudb became opensource and after reading about it, I thought it would be an interesting option.

I'm new to IP Boards and I'm trying to get it up and running. I'm using nginx and PHP-FPM. The site runs even with friendly URLs but the issue is users can't login to the public side. The page just refreshes and they are not logged in. I've tried wrong login info to make sure it was doing stuff and it works. I'm pretty convinced that it had something to do with my nginx configuration. The others I've tried were: try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri; I have been running WordPress, MediaWiki, phpBB and OpenX with the above config and they all work. My nginx configuration http:…

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.
