Host experienced a hardware failure 3 days ago and their backups were also affected ... Now that they have the server back online the backups they have are not loading the site correctly. I am getting > Driver Error ... There appears to be an error with the database. When I check the log file I see numerous lines that say > Error: 1054 - Unknown column 'member_id' in 'where clause' Does ipboard have any files that will check the integrity of the database? Really hoping I can salvage my database as I did not have a backup of it :( Thanks!

Hi everyone ! Actually, I'm the owner of a French website named Manga Destiny (http://www.mangadestiny.com/ for the welcome page or http://www.mangadestiny.com/index.php?app=forums for forum index) and, regarding Alexa's traffic analytics, it is very slow (says 88% of site are faster, and that page load is now 3.621 Seconds). So... I was wondering what to do. Is it due to the fact we have a great database, with lots of stuff ? Or may it be because of my shared hosting plan (Baby plan, hosted by HostGator) ? How may I speed up my website ? Many thanks to all of you ! :D

For those running sphinx as search - would any of you be willing to reply with / PM your sphinx.conf file if you've merged the archived / live topic deltas into one? I'm looking to use the archive feature more, but I really need to be able to search both live and archived topics at the same time.

Hi! We run a forum using IP.Board, and after the upgrade to 3.4.2. we have a problem when trying to transfer between servers. Previously we did upgrades on an offline server, and once complete simple transfered database and files to the production server. However, after the 3.4.2 upgrade we get an HTTP Error 500 Internal server error when trying to transfer, with no further error messages in logs (we've checked apache, php error logs and more). Any ideas on how to fix the problem would be highly appreciated!

I am switching hosts and the new one is all the way back on mySQL 5.0 and my current one was 5.5! Is it going to be too annoying getting the database transferred and compatible? I will see if they have other versions they can put me on, but who knows.

I've been searching the net and can't find any conclusive way to do what I'd like to do, the following things: 1) Setup a daily cpanel full backup with a cronjob. 2) Same as 1, but to then send the backup via FTP to a storage server. I'd be happy enough with #1, but #2 would be great. Any ideas? I have next to no knowledge of coding. Thanks.

Hello IPB, I have a BIG forum, which has my CPU usage pretty high. I have already optimized a load of things, but high cpu usage remains. My Host has told me that I should optimize my forums MySQL Database / it's tables. I would like to know, which tables can and/or should be optimized.. and hopefully lower my CPU usage a bit without breaking the forum in some way. Please let me know, I need this ASAP.

My server often uses 100% Cpu performance and i think it might be incorrect mysql optimization for IPB.

Ok looking for a ssh program for a complete newb at doing console stuff. Due to recent events my host is going to allow me to ssh into my hosting and see what processes I'm on, they have told me I'm on my own and can't affect anyone else's hosting space or the security of the server. So looking for some advice and even some good places to read up doing things. Mainly to allow me to find out what's suddenly decided to use almost 500 mbs of ram on a server with a population of 1-5 at most + search engines.

We are running IP.Board on 2 nodes, and we have conducted a load test with both read and write operations. But the memcached is using only 23 MB, and also found that the application is highly CPU intensive. Is there anyway we can optimize this, can anyone please give suggestions on this? Thanks, Bala

I've been putting in a lot of time putting together a good test system, which will require minimal effort to refresh. One of the steps is to change any reference to the original url which exists in emoticon's, and other things. I have written SQL to convert the posts but the old URL's are still in cache. I would like to have a way to clear out all the caches from a command line so I can script it to complete the test area build.

I host through IPS and when I complete my own backups through Cpanel, a copy of the backup is inserted in my root directory. Is it safe to assume I can delete this backup copy after I store it locally? My understanding is that IPS also backs up every site...but I don't think the copy I'm referring to in my root directory is their (IPS) backup copy. Thoughts?

Hello, im about to setup a replication slave to make my daily backup with no downtime (since i can't use it to send IPB reads...) I want to setup this to ONLY replicate the board's DDBB "ipb_forum_db" but im really confused with binlog_do_db and repli.._do_db Also to reduce the backup/replicaton size and load I was thinking on ignoring some tables content: +-----------------------------------+ | gaccs_template_cache | | gachat_log_archive | | gacontent_cache_posts | | gacontent_cache_sigs | | gagareputation_cache | | gareputation_cache | | gaskin_cache | | gaskin_templates_cache | | gaskin_templates_previous | +-----------------------------------+ IIRC at least templat…

Has anyone set anything like this up? I wanted to do this but I am not quite getting how to set it up. I want to automate the process so I don't have to think about it at all. Doing some sort of incremental backup would be best, but I would even take a full backup once a week if that's what it has to be. This doesn't have to be to S3 either - it could be to another web server or something. Thanks!

Good morning everyone During latest 10 days had lots of problems with my server which has maxed out memory and swap sometimes two-three times per day. The hosting online support mentioned there is "something" who`s eating up my memory they had upgraded the php to 5.3 and mysql to 5.5.x and they said to make sure i keep the script and apps are up to date, which i actually did, but the issues continues over and over again. They also mentioned the memory gets eaten up, once swap and physical memory max out, the mysql socket dies. But after being restarted,the dedicated box it's fine. However one thing is sure they can't tell me what it is, as it doesn't seem to be normal …

Hi, I am a recently new administrator of an IPS hosted forum. I'm still learning my way around the admin console, and need some assistance. On my admin console, I have a message that says: Unlocked Installer Remove admin/install/index.php from your server at once! Leaving it on your server WILL compromise the security of your system. I don't know how to remove the installer. I was told that I should SFTP into the host to remove the index.php file, but I do not now where to find the hostname or credentials to remove the file. I can't open a support case - my user name on this site is not associated with the forum I am now an administrator for, and I need someo…
