Once my site reaches this amount, pages start to hang and sometimes take 20-30 seconds to load. The load is only 2-3 and memory usage is only 45%. Would it be the CPU not being able to process all the queries or is it a setting I can alter? The site copes with large amounts of traffic fine until it reaches that amount of activity.

So has anyone had any experience using mod_pagespeed ? http://code.google.c...ocs/module.html Upon loading this I found that the editor on my site would not load. I had a hunch that it was based on how it was processing Respecting Vary Headers so I added ModPagespeedRespectVary on as suggested. This got my editor to load, but not completely... ie... All the buttons in the editor were missing. I've used this on vBulletin in the past... Don't know why it would be different for Invision. Thoughts?

(Apache2 + Varnish + Memcached + PHP-FPM + PHP5-APC + Percona (MySQL) + Sphinx + LATEX + Cloudflare) Yes, please excuse the title, but at this point that's about how I feel (crazy man with a server). I'm willing to learn and god knowing, I've not yet given up. A lot of trial an error has taken place. So please do not knock me down for trying (or being mildly new to linux). The goal? Have Varnish as the front end over Apache2 Using Percona (MySQL) powered along side with Sphinx Along with PHP5-APC with Memcached (I've been informed this combo works, but can ditch Memcached and stick with PHP5-APC) And for those odd ends, Latex support And finally, it all ne…

I am in the process of reviewing the 3.2.2 code, which is very different to the previous version I had! Also parallel to this I want to plan the upgrade as we have a big database. A bit about my site: Members: 12,309 - Topics: 127,209 - Posts: 3,745,804 Database 5.5GB including indexes Database 3GB without indexes Can someone explain Sphinx in technical terms for IPB? High level I believe it replaces the full text index requirements of my post table and creates its own index? Also how long does the upgrade take on such a big table as when I moved HDD 2 weeks ago it took 3 hours to rebuild the indexes for our post table. Appreciate comments/ lessons learned. / th…

UPDATE ibf_task_manager SET task_enabled=0 WHERE task_application NOT IN ('core','forums','members','calendar') In a 20 minute time frame, this query was executed 4,576 times accounting for 21% of all INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE queries made to our system. ibf_task_manager has only 22 rows that never match this query. Can we move this, and other task executions, from a page view check to run from our system crontab? We are on 3.1.4 now and moving to 3.2.3 in late November.

When I run YSlow, I get a grade F for "Make fewer HTTP requests. Here's what my description looks like: Grade F on Make fewer HTTP requests This page has 9 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one. This page has 5 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one. This page has 20 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites. Strangely, I seem to see this VERY frequently on other sites, not just sites powered by Invision. Does anyone here have any experience with this and know how I can optimize this?

This might have been asked but I can't find it (weak Jedi search skills). Can folks recommend good resources for getting to grips with Linux server administration? (security, optimisation, permissions, etc) Talking just the OS here, not Apache/MYSQL, etc. I've found a few on Google myself but validating their accuracy with no background knowledge is difficult Cheers

What's the best way to use Sphinx for two communities on the same server? Should I install a copy of Sphinx for each one, or can one instance of Sphinx handle both of them (if so, how would I go about setting it up that way?)?

Just curious how everyone is running their tables. There are certain tables that always seems faster in INNODB for me over MYISAM such as posts, and spider_logs. But what about tables such as reputation? What tables have you switched to INNODB, and which have you left?

I have a hosted package, support is great - actually its excellent, uptime is great, the features are great - everything is great. But I am lacking storage space. I dont need to upgrade as my bandwidth etc is OK. So I thought I could buy some diskspace elsewhere, its mainly for pics. I dont want to use picassa etc. I'd rather have somewhere I can control. I thought I could buy some storage here, but its not an option right now (and submitting tickets for an upgrade wont help - been there done that), so the other idea I had was to buy space elsewhere, but let my members (I would prefer if they were authenticated to my forum) link images / videos to it. Like a subfor…

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?
