Hello I am ready to try this configuration: Nginx as front end of Apache and xcache and i want to ask if you think that is good configuration for a big forum? I found about xcache: and start causing you problems because if your temp directory is full your site will act like the hard drive is full in other words every time it needs to do something even just making a post you'll get an error cause it doesn't have the room in the temp directory to work like it's supposed to. How can i do that? Thank you

Hello I was wondering for huge forums do you use special partitioning on the disk for better performance and if the difference is very big. For example: /var 50gb /usr 50gb /root 50gb /tmp (/dev/shm : 10 GB) /swap 16gb /home the rest of the disk Or you use the disk with the default installation from Datacenter? Thank you

The folder hierarchy and file naming convention totally escapes me - i realize there is a great deal of abstraction but what would help me immensely to get familiar with the site is to get to know from the back end what each and every file's purpose. I would like to see a something more than a terse phrase for each file in every folder of the hierarchy ( images are obvious ) FOLDER - general description & purpose -- FILENAME - general description & purpose -- FILENAME - general description & purpose -- FOLDER - general description & purpose --- FILENAME - general description & purpose Or even if at all possible an excell spread sheet…

A very frequent topic discussion that I see come up involves resource usage. Questions like "My server isn't responding well" and "What can I do to improve performance" are very specific, but often times there are general guidelines you can follow that can help a lot. We've decided to open a forum dedicated to optimizing your site, your server, the software on your server, and the like. Use this forum to ask specific questions about how to optimize Apache, why your processlist seems to be showing some active processes that shouldn't be, and so on. To start the discussion off, note that there are already some articles available here that can help you tune your site. …

Hello ! :) I'm sending an email to all of my board's members using the ACP bulk mail tool. I've sent 79 750 emails up to now and there are still 2 949 emails to be sent (50 each minute). So it's nearly finished I think... But : - I received many emails saying "Mail delivery failed : returning message to user". - I also received emails saying : "Email queue size alert - The exim delivery queue size is 3013". Since I don't know anything about all this (I'm reading about it at the moment anyway), I would like to ask you a few questions : - Should I delete all the messages in queue ? - Do you think the messages in queue correspond to non valid email adresses ? - Ho…

Hi I asked in the ipboard forum and didn't get much response, and no solution... so I am hoping you can help. Live board was copied and placed on a test server running Apache 2 on Linux (Cent OS), php 5.2.11, MYSQL 5.0.86 The board basically works, the only problem seen so far is that the sidebar on the main index is not displaying. The space is there, the minimise button is there (and works) but the content isn't. The column is blank except for the button. Just now there is no obvious clues as to if it is server config (which has changed in respect of the forum) or invision board configuration. The template contents for the sidebar is there. The obvious thing wou…

Hello, I am experienced web programmer and quite new to IPB. As I have to modify some conversion scripts and develop some custom applications, I need API. Where can I get it? My actual question is, how to temporary change sql_tbl_prefix in the script? I need to change the sql_tbl_prefix only once while conversion to get data from the tables with another prefix. I do not need new DB connection, as there is the same DB, but just another table prefix. Once I've got the data I will reset the prefix back to default. I would not post this question here, if I had API :) Thank you, Sonya ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->?????
