Well securing at least if someone could possibly help me with that. I'm flat out broke and I need to move off my current web space since I can't pay, remembered I had credit with another host for a VPS so I'm going to be moving my site there for the time being and hope things get better in the next month. It's a semi-managed Cpanel host, I already have ConfigServer Security and Firewall installed with CSF/LFD. I tried updating Apache and PHP with EasyApache but it's complaining the packages or package manager is broke. CSF lists many security issues that need to be addressed, and I'm not familiar with Linux. I'm broke, so I don't have money to pay but I will offer my …

Hello I have a problem as i was try to use xache on my invision forum. I was install it on a cpanel server with only one account inside bt is caching only 100 out of 10.000 hits :( I am not using suexec on fast cgi handler that i use. (also i was add the xcache line on invision config) Any ideas why it is not working? Now i am thinking that maybe the problem is something related to php security that i do not know or maybe that i was upload the files on the server as root and not with the username of the account and the permissions are not correct.... or not? Thank you

S3 / CloudFront as an Infinite (scalable) IPB upload storage device Hi guys, After setting up my IPB forum, I thought that the last change I should make is to make all file uploads (mostly images), to be uploaded to Amazon S3 / Cloudfront. Amazon S3 is a scalable storage. It is great for storing large files without worrying about capacity. I can imagine that if the images capacity exceeds the EBS storage limit (up to 1 TB, which can be filled fast with high res images), I will have a problem. I though that with S3, I won't have to worry about making configuration to support multiple EBS storage devices. As far as I know, IPB doesn't support multiple storage devices …

I am asking a lot of questions today. BTW: If I need to ask all question in one post please tell me. I wanted to know if using XChache or any other caching solution is better for performance and caching with IP.Board? I am using Amazon web services, and I want the minimum bandwidth. Thanks again. :thumbsup:

Hello! First of all, I just wonder, is IPS official forum linked up to a 1 GBit-Port or a 100 MBit-port? (or something else?), and second, how much transfer pr month is this forum requiring? I'm not running a big board but I am just very interested, also I'm asking because I see I can buy a box at 132 mbit port (5tb transfer included) and upgrade to 1gbit port (10 tb transfer included) if I need to. Further on I would like to know about other "big" sites and what they require. It's obvious that a site running IP.Downloads/IP.Gallery like this will have more transfer pr month, but I would like to know how much (if it's not a company secret then ^^) it requires running t…

I'm on a dedicated server, it's more than capable of running IP.Board (3.1.3) at the traffic levels I have but it's quiet slow. What settings would you recommend to speed it up? Server spec: HP DL120 (G6) Dual Core G6950 (2x2.8Ghz) 4GB RAM 2x250GB SATA RAID1 CentOS cPanel mySQL 5.0.91 PHP 5.3.3 Apache 2.0.63 It's a $500/month full managed solution and my 200 concurrent user forum should be able to serve pages faster than with a 1.7 - 2.1 second page generation time. The server is 24 hours old! Any hints/tips please? http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/

Hello On my server the performance of read and open topics and everything on the forum is super high and less than half second even on pick times. My problem is sql when i have only 10 users per minute the database shows load of cpu: 114% and ram 5%. At pick time it goes to about cpu 170% and ram if i am not wrong is the same about 5%.

Hello ! :) I have this "mysql server has gone away" error everyday in my cache directory... For instance I found it today, but I don' understand why, because I don't have many members online today (around 655 at the moment), and the server load is around 0.25. My my.cnf is this one : If you had this problem and managed to fix it, can you tell me how you did it or give me pieces of advice ? Thank you ! :)

Hello ! :) I've been using IPB since 2003 and now my database is 8 gigabytes big. My server is powerful so I now don't have too many problems having my board running, but sometimes, I get these errors : Error: 1317 - Query execution was interrupted Error: 2006 - MySQL server has gone away I was told that this was due to the size of my database, that it takes time to search the tables... I don't know if this is true and if there is a solution. I'm just asking if it will be possible in the future to use mutiple databases or any solution which would avoid having one huge database causing problems. Thank you ! :)

I'm wondering whether to use mod_expires in my .htaccess file to cache some of them images i'm using that never update. If I added this into my .htaccess would it work? ### activate mod_expires ExpiresActive On ### Expire .gif's 1 month from when they're accessed ExpiresByType <Directory /home/talkford/public_html/images/forumimages> A2592000 I'm not sure if I've got my coding correct, I basically want to cache images in a certain directory only.
