Hi everyone, I'm excited about transforming my site from wordpress to a IPS 3.1 Community with Forums and IP.Content. If I keep my existing site at "mysite.com", while temporarily staging the new IPS site at a subdomain like "staging.mysite.com", will it be relatively painless to switch the staged to site to "mysite.com" when it's ready? Are any full URLs stored in the database, or is it just a matter of changing some config and clearing caches? I have Board, Content, Blog, and Gallery, but I'll probably initially go live with just Board and Content. Thanks a bunch - Greg

I was wondering if there is anyone who could generously help me optimize my IPB install and my VPS or someone who could help for a set price? I purchased a VPS about a month ago and have almost zero knowledge of server management. Something on my forum/vps is chewing through memory like crazy and the PHP5 cpu load is quite high, according to my host it seems to be something on my IPB3 forum that is causing it, but it may also be related to my vps configuration as well. Send me a PM or reply in this thread if you are interested in helping, although I'd prefer for certain details to remain private.

Hello ! :) I could no longer access my public_html directory with my FTP clients. I believe it was a problem of owner : for the public_html directory, the owner was root and for the other directories, the owner was my account's login name (for instance "myforums"). The technician did this through SSH : chmod 755 -R myforums When I noticed it was chmod 755 I tried to chmod it to 750 but nobody could no longer access my board and got this message : You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. So I had to chmod it back to 755. Is thi…

Hi IP Hope someone can help me out. Im currently running IP.Board 2.3.6 on my homeserver windows 2003 32bit 4 gb ram, php5, MySQL5 & test on 2008 64bit 8gb ram, php5, mysql5, and its a heavy visited site with many users and 11000+ games and its running very fast on both servers no delay, loadtime is 0.232 When I install 3.0.5 for test with same versions as above without any mods installed, its running extremely slow on both 2003 & 2008 and load time is 8.253 sec. :( What settings do I need to change? I would be very sad if I had to skip IPB and change to Bullentin, as it runs very fast to. Please help.

A couple things to mention, I use an encoded SEO solution (Community Seo) for IPB3 and an encoded Arcade modification. I just recently purchased a VPS and moved all sites to the VPS. I ran into an issue a couple days back where visiting my forum would give infinite redirects when visiting the index and portal pages in Firefox (the usual Firefox has detected the server isn't redirecting the page properly), I get a 404 error when visiting my forum in Internet Explorer 8. Please keep in mind nothing changed on my site that would cause this issue. This only happens when I'm not logged into my forum, as long as I'm logged in I am able to browse normally, the infinite redir…

I have a Cpanel WHM/Cpanel VPS with Xcache, MPM Worker, latest MySQL, Apache 2, PHP 5 and compiled with Fast CGI enabled. I was wondering if anyone had experience with tweaking a VPS for maximum possible speed and security. Particularly I'm interested in tweaking the server for maximum possible performance with IPB3, as well as tightening up server security without breaking any scripts in the process..

I wont dribble on. I get lots of major spikes from the topic marker tables. They are small but I discovered highly fragmented in a short amount of time. I added a cronjob to optimize them every half hour. Since then -- goodness. OPTIMIZE TABLE `ibf_core_item_markers`; OPTIMIZE TABLE `ibf_core_item_markers_storage`; Make a cronjob to run this every 30 minutes. It is very fast and has prevented spikes so far on my server. Food for thought! I was getting 50 or more loads for brief times and not any so far. maybe just luck but I am hoping the final fix!

This does not have to do anything with IPB. But I was wondering how I can prefix all my entries in a database row. Any Idea? Example is a phone database and I have to add +1 to all of them.

Hello ! :) I'm having problems with php scripts (that is to say IPB) on my server : it's eating all cpu (so to say). According to other webmasters/administrators the traffic I have (number of visitors, number of pages seen, etc.) shouldn't be a problem for my server which could normally accept much more. So, after looking at the top, ps, vmstat, etc., they told me I should try to find which script in IPB is using a lot of CPU. Do you know a script which allows to do this ? Thank you ! :)

Currently my forum is in domain.com/forums and i want to remove the /forums off the url. Problem is i don't want to have to move all the files on the server as it will mean my root dir is very messy. I also want to rewrite any old urls to the new path so any old links/indexes still work. Ive tried the following.. RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^index.php(.*)$ forum/index.php$1 [L] RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ /$1 [R,L] But this is causing a redirect loop. Any ideas?

Ok, long story short. Whilst importing the new skin last night I could not get the blogs to work, it kept coming up with an error so I updated the blogs from the ACP but stupidly overwrote the tables... could have sworn it said keep the existing tables, but anyhoo. Good news, blogs now work, bad news all the data is gone! Luckily the system fully backs up weekly so I have a backup from 3 days ago, but I don't want to fully import that as we have had hundreds of new posts since then on the boards. So my question is this. Is it possible to take the blog tables from the backup database and import into the live database? Invision Support say no, but I wanted to seek furth…
