I've set my site up to use MaxCDN and optimised it pretty much everywhere. ySlow and pagerank were showing 80/100 ish. Unfortunately, enabling 'minify javascript' (which causes css to be minified too!) seems to cause a redirect to the root of the site which is increasing the page load time. I've been using pingdom.com to monitor page load speeds. Here is a test when css was minified: http://tools.pingdom.com/default.asp?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trials-forum.co.uk%2f&id=4240529 (page load time: 2.12 seconds) If you click 'show link heirarchy' you can see a redirect happening after the CSS is called, and its loading the whole of the site root again. Here is a te…

Hello Is it safe to clear (remove entries) from the tables: ibf_admin_login_logs ibf_search_results <--- I am using sphinx and is this table related to it and is it safe to clear it? If yes please give me the two commands for those two tables to clear them. ibf_topic_markers <--- Does this clear only the info from the users on which topics they have read and which not? Thank you

So I'm working with a dedicated linux box, I'm working on a script that interacts with a 3rd party app. This 3rd party app will, send me a Post cURL where my server handles the request looks up more data and replies as the output. Also in the same script I can POST to the third party app via cURL. I have my script set up correctly but I don't think my server is allowing the incoming cURL request because nothing is going through... I tried the exact same script and put it on a shared hosting server and it worked there. So my question is, how do I verify that my server is refusing incoming cURL requests and how do I fix that?

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but some how my apache isn't looking for index.php or index.html anymore as the default index.. I'm not quite sure what it is looking for either. So the only way to get to my website is to actually type in www.mydomain.com/index.html www.mydomain.com won't work I get page not found errors. I don't know if this is an htaccess thing or not. But the sooner I get this fixed the better.

Hello ! :) I've decided to disable some hooks* to see if things are doing better. It looks like it created a very high server load... I had many members online (about 1100) perhaps is this the reason ? At the beginning, the load was about 15 and it rose up to 120. When this happened I was watching the sql process list : And a top : and I had many errors like this one : What do you think of this ? Is it normal ? Thank you ! :) * I disabled these hooks : Unread Notifications Shows unread notifications on the board index Ad Code Sidebar Displays ad code on the board index sidebar Who's Chatting Shows who is in chat if installed and enabled

I know if this is the correct way to do it, but it's not working and I was hoping someone could help me out with this. Also, I was wondering for large databases, would it time out since it's running from a php file? <?php require_once('/home/iweb/public_html/cronJob/db-connect.php'); // connect to db $query = "mysqldump -u iweb_user -pXXXX --single-transaction iweb_forums | gzip > /home/iweb/public_html/_db-backup/iweb_forums.sql.gz"; $result = @mysql_query($query); // run the query ?>

Hi, We've been suffering from speed issues.. Eventually got round to installing NGINX (used the nginxcp, which just installed, and surprisingly appears to work out of the box) We are somewhat concerned it was far too easy. We'd appreciate some of you taking a quick looksee, and seeing what you think, can think to alter or adjust - or just plain tell us we are a little thick and have missed something of major importance! It's on a Wiredtree VPS, with 768Mb, quad core zeon etc etc. Optimised as much as I dare, unless someone on here is an expert, can do a storming job, and wants to tell me how much it's going to cost <bearing in mind we are poor> :lol: …
