A little background: We've recently purchased licences for IPB and the associated MSSQL driver to convert our Community Server 2007.1 installation and continue using MSSQL for IPB 3.1, however since Invision took the decision to disontinue support for MSSQL we're now going to need to look at using MySQL. We use a Windows server to host our current sites and would prefer to stick with this setup due to having experience in this area. So a few of questions if I may... We'll be using the community edition of MySQL, again, is there anything we need to be aware with this version? Already discovered backups require the DB to be taken offline which presents some interesting de…

I have been working hard on improving my site's performance, and I now have a question for you optimization Gurus. Will Varnish help improve the performance of my site/server? I know, loaded question, right? Let me tell you about my configuration and observed performance: Performance: (http://www.webpagetest.org/, Dullas, IE9, FIOS) Time To First Byte - Consistently 400MS to 550MS Page Load Time - Consistently 1.2s to 2.0s range Note: This is while running 2 AdSense banners per page, which admittedly hurts Load times) IPB Config:CDN subdomain for "Images, CSS and JS" CDN subdomain for Uploads and Gallery (I had seperated the Uploads and Gallery into two CDNs, b…

Would just like to point eyes over to Gary who has recently helped optimize my VPS for me. The last couple of days the board has been running very sluggish, doing everything i know i couldn't make it any better so hunted around here for help. Gary jumped in and got straight to work: Optimizing mysql Optimized apache Installed mod_fcgi + some tweaks reset some WHM settings and changed it over to advanced installed x-cache + nginx and configured them to run together. As i am running TeamSpeak on my VPS, i was having recent troubles with it. Even though he does not advertise support he was very happy to take a look through CFS and open a few ports which i had overlooke…

OK, after five years my forum as grown to the point where MyIASM is no longer cutting it. Both traffic and the total number of posts has increased to the point where a table lock or search can lead hitting cache hard.. I've been regularly throwing more RAM at it for years but that's not going to cut it, plus I want to use Sphinx. I know how to convert it one table at a time but I'm looking for suggestions on how to script it so I can convert the whole db at once. Any ideas?

I can't find any "account settings" link or icon to click anywhere on the main page that brings up an option to change my cpanel log-in password. (Attached is an image of the icons I do see.) Even if I click on the "Update Contact Info" icon, there's no such option. Clearly, I have no idea what I'm doing, so thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Tony

Today I am having some serious issues with my host (Site5). I am paying for a dedicated server, but I strongly suspect that they have me on a VPS because I don't even see dedi's advertised on their site anymore. Anyway, I would really appreciate some suggestions on providers that I can trust. I am going to need a lot of help migrating the system, which runs on cPanel and has two reseller accounts onboard. All in I think I have about 50 domain names hosted on the box and am using WHMCS to run billing on it. Any suggestions?

Post Cache - What does everyone have theirs set at? I think the default is 7 days, but is there any harm in making it 30,60 or ever 180 days to speed things up? The Post cache gets regenerated if there is a new post added anyways correct? Thanks

although it was not reported not being able to reproduce it as a bug but ive now tested on 3 servers, two servers that has installed by the datacenter, softlayer.com and singlehop and my main server located in lithuania. The server from softlayer and singlehop are using a default mysql and apache installation so nothing has been customized, no apache mod installed or anything those 3 servers use mysql 5.5.14, apache 2.2.20 I did a fresh ipb and ipdownload install on those two servers but i still get the sleep issue. When someone is downloading a file from ipdownload, the entire forum will stop responding. Only when you finished/stopped downloading will the forum re…

I know that it is recommended that the Table type for Sessions be converted from MyISAM to Memory, but I was wondering if there were any other tables that could be changed to Memory to improve performance. Maybe the skin tables?

Just wanna make this post to thank Gary and tell everyone else about him So I was thinking about updating to 3.2 a few weeks ago then I had the dilemma of changing domains and moving my site to a new server. I am not confident as this kind of work and came to gary for help. Within a few minutes of sending him a PM he was on it. Faster than I could get everything ready he was there ready to work. I had minimal downtime and no issues whatsoever. Then moving to 3.2 came and I got gary to do that. He upgraded all my applications, IP.Content and IP.Board with downtime of 1 hour. Then when I had some issues specific to my board concerning IP.Content he helped sort it. Stu…

I have a Cpanel WHM VPS with PHP, MySQL, Apache, Sphinx, Eaccellerator and Zend Optimizer. All is great except PHP generation times such as my IP.Content page take over 1 second, 1.8 seconds to be exact. I'm looking to lower that under 1 second with a bit of optimizing of PHP/MySQL and Apache. So this includes installing anything that will enhance performance, tweaking the existing my.cnf, php.conf, httpd.conf for low resource usage and faster page loads and lower page generation times. I forgot to mention tweaking and optimizing FastCGI. I don't have a lot of money, so a person that can do this for free or a nominal fee is a plus. According to server/vps informatio…

After ten years in operation we've amassed a fairly large database (3 gigs, about five minutes to dump the whole thing) as well as a massive number of images that span literally every version of IP.Board (which means they are stored in like ten different ways depending on IP.Board version, attachment versus Gallery, profile photos, avatars, etc. etc. etc.) Since the vast majority of the site is more-or-less static (an image uploaded ten years ago is unlikely to change...) and since we pay for bandwidth to our offsite storage, I'd like to develop an incremental backup strategy. This is especially important for the uploads/ directory, which is massive, but ideally I'd lov…
