I plan on switching to Nginx from Apache as now that traffic is up on this particular server Apache is just eating way to much RAM. It's at the point where i can't upgrade the server anymore as the motherboard isn't capable. Its currently got an Intel Xeon E3-1230 and 32GB of RAM. During peak times Apache hit's the 2400 Max clients limit i have then over time leaks memory until the server dies. Now this isn't the result of IP.Board but other sites i manage on this server. I was just wondering is there anything i should know or check out before running any of the IPS products with Nginx ?

I'm totally new to this, so please bare with the simple question :) I was told to "log into cpanel (access info in the client area here) and then click "backups" to run a full backup.." I've searched and haven't had much luck finding the "cpanel" - can someone direct me to where I can locate this to perform my backup? Thanks!

I stumbled upon Piwik, an open source alternative to GA, that is quite impressive indeed, installed on your private server. Anyone used it in conjunction with IPB? Opinions?

Can someone tell me their experience on semi dedicated hosting as compared to VPS hosting? My site has outgrown shared hosting and I'm trying to decide whether to go to semi dedicated or VPS. I was told by my current host that with semi dedicated i basically go on a server with with up to 100 other people versus the 500+ on a shared server. Will I notice much of a difference in speed on my site?

I run a few sites, one of them requires FURL to be open. (Google Maps API Call on a wordpress blog) It would seem most service providers prefer this option set to off or not use at all due to security issues. Why is this and what can be done to help prevent an issue? Currently the mod i'm using doesn't have any other options, it's also seems pretty common to have this feature turned on. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's required for IPB software also) Can some explain why it's usually advised not to use this method when so commonly used?

How do I set this up so that some images have an expiry date. As you can tell I have no idea, I just ran a speed test and it came under high priority that I set an expiry date or maximum age for certain images..

I have a 10.6.8 mountain lion server running, I want to upgrade to the current Mountain Lion server software. Looking for someone who can either do the upgrade remotely, or walk me through it. I am most interested in setting up MYSQL and getting my old databases moved over to the new software.

A few months ago I moved onto a more powerful server. I made the move in mind that my website can get fairly busy, sometimes reaching 1,500 members during a 30 minute period. I've noticed my site performs slightly better when keep alive is enabled, however, this is only the case until my site gets busy. Once I'm averaging say 250-300 users per 5 minutes or less, the site grinds to a halt. Thats until I turn keep alive off.. I then notice pages load fine and the site can handle 1,500 with no problem at all once keep-alive is off. That leads me to suspect keep alive isn't set up correctly... would the server limit and max clients numbers be causing these issues? They are…

Hi guys, Google just sent me an e-mail informing me that my site has malware, but apparently can't tell me which file it is. I assume it's because someone uploaded a dodgy file (somehow) through IP.Downloads. Is there a tool I can use to find out which file it is? Kind regards, Graeme

In the settings and on the IPS community forums, it says you can't have a CDN + Javascript running. And I've seen it mentioned a number of times on the forum here. But community.invisionpower.com does and they serve them from netdna: http://tools.pingdom...visionpower.com So how do you properly serve the minified javascript from cdn? I would like to serve it from my MaxCDN/NetDNA/

Has anyone noticed this Robot heavily targeting their site lately? I'm not quite sure what it is, and if I should block it. It looks like it's from an indexing search engine called Ahrefs.

Hey guys... What do you people think to using APF as the security firewall on a dedicated server? I had to uninstall ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) on my Linux CentOS 6 dedicated server because it kept randomly banning my IP for some odd reason. So I uninstalled it, tried to install/download Fail2Ban but failed, it wouldn't download using the "wget" command. So I installed APF instead, seems to be working etc. But I'd like to know is APF as good as CSF and/or Fail2Ban? If not, which do you Linux dedi guru's recommend? Thanks.
