I run a CentOS 6 vps under Xen and am using cPanel, which wants me to enable quota on the file system. How do I do this properly? I read that it involves the /etc/mtab file, which currently reads:

Does anyone have experience with hosting their IPB in a cloud configuration versus a shared or dedicated server? Do you see any reason that an active IPB couldn't be run in a cloud environment? Could I/O be an issue? Thanks for your thoughts. Jeff

Hello! So I got my IPB3 forum running on a dedicated server with following configuration: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2 GB DDR2 RAM 2x 300 GB SATA HDD (Software-RAID 1) Software is Debian 5.0 Lenny 64 bit with nginx+Apache+php+eAccelerator+MySQL. MySQL database it around 1.6 Gb with around 500k posts and 10k users. We got up to 4k visitors daily getting up to 25k pageviews. It has been working more or less OK until past few days, but now the server looks as it has gone totally fubar. Load average sometimes gets around 50-100, users keep geting timeout errors, host-tracker.com reports uptime of ~73% for today. Rebooting apache and/or the server itself helps for a wh…

We had an old system at work for handling lots of different API's built into an old custom framework which was huge and nothing to do with API's... so a waste of time really. Anyways I built a custom framework using a few core files, php-activerecord and memcache. The whole thing is running on apache and these are my benchmarks so far: 1020ms~ on the old framework 200ms~ on the new framework 60ms~ with memcache. I was really pleased with these results and ran concurrent tests using apache 100 requests with 100 concurrants and it came back in 2000ms~ (this was not with memcache). Thats a total of 10,000 requests. So I was happy with that. I think it was a number…

Am seriously considering a switch to cPanel on my servers. As an admin / user what do you dislike about the control panel - what annoys you? Or maybe life is perfect? :) As it is a major move, I am interested in honest views.

We moved to a VPS and the index.php file in the root directory of the board is always causing a high CPU usage. Is there anything that can help bring that down?

Firstly, I must say that I know or understand very little if anything about char sets :blush: We're using RSS Import on the forum to import some articles from a Joomla site we have. Some of these articles are entered into Joomla by a Mac user who copies and pastes them from Adobe InDesign. When these particular articles are pulled into the forum's RSS feed, apostrophes, curly/smart quotes and long dashes (which InDesign uses instead of "normal" dashes/hyphens) show up as funny little squares with what looks like a little pattern in them instead. But if he copies and pastes directly into the forum, the characters are OK and don't turn into funny looking squares. The Jo…

So I was having a play about on my local host forum earlier, and I wanted to import the live forums database so I went to export it from the phpmyadmin. The entire database exports perfectly with the exception of the posts table - there are close to 400,000 posts and if I select that table to export with the rest of the SQL file it only exports 25,000 posts, and if I try to export posts on it's own it only exports 50,000. Is there a particular limit to how much you can export on phpmyadmin? Should I be taking back-ups a different way? No major issue, just a little bit confusing and worrying as this prevents me from taking secure back-ups of my forum. Edit: the minut…

I ran this test on my server and I successfully got PHP up to 512 MB. (I didn't want to try 1GB since the host might get mad). I know IPS recommends 128MB as the PHP memory limit, but is there any advantage to raising that? And would there be a disadvantage, for example a runaway process that eats up more memory? (I'm changing the memory limit through the htaccess in the forum directory).

I've been having various problems with modsec, and had to whitelist numerous rules for my forum. I seem to have it so its not causing any problems now..apart from one rule I have whitelisted but it still gets triggered. When a member tries to edit their profile and save it, the rule is triggered and the changes are not saved. The whitelists have been saved to two locations by my hosting company.. /usr/local/apache/conf/whitelist.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2/whitelist.conf I'm not sure why the whitelists have to be added to two places also.. The modsec rule is 340163 causing me probs and it is whitelisted.. Any suggestions.. :(

Took me a while to figure it out, so I thought I may as well share how I managed to make my IPB 3.1.x installation work with Sphinx, when most of my content is in Greek. Some information is taken from this topic (and hence from here too). Note that my DB, character encoding, everything is UTF8. I use Sphinx 2.0.1-beta. Edit your sphinx.conf file, and [*]in every source construct, add a sql_query_pre directive at the beginning, for example: source core_search_main : ipb_source_config { sql_query_pre = SET CHARACTER SET utf8 ... Note that some source constructs may already have an sql_query_pre directive, in which case simply add another one just above it…

I need some help to get the following up and running: 1) Enable MaxCDN (http://www.maxcdn.com/) for my server. I've an account with them, but am unable to figure out the DNS side of things to get it up and running. 2) Get Sphinx up and running on my server for my IPB forums. I'm having issues with it and don't understand it fully. 3) Help me get JungleDisk Server Edition up and running, it needs an RPM installing and stuff (https://www.jungledisk.com/business/server/features/) I could eventually do it myself I guess, but it'll take me bloody ages, as fiddling with servers and OS'es really isn't my thing. Or, can anyone recommended me someone reputable?

Hello, We are setting up IPB on a self-hosted server and I was wondering if anyone could explain a few of the configuration options I see when I go through the MySQL server instance configuration wizard (it's being setup on a Windows server). [*]Database Usage: Multifuncational Database, Transactional Database Only, Non-Transactional Database Only - in your experience, which is the best choice for an IPB installation? [*]Concurrent Connections: Decision Support (DSS)/OLAP, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Manual Setting - is it necessary to set a high level of concurrent connections, or would 20 be sufficient? Our board would not be extremely high-traffic at t…
