My site at times feezes and serves Error 500 messages. Happens on the the entire site and in the back end. Here is one example (most errors look the same) from my CP error log. Does this point to anything IPS related? Perhaps a problem or a setting? I have not made any changes for quite some time. [Wed Mar 21 09:12:57.992800 2018] [:error] [pid 62440] (12)Cannot allocate memory: [client 157.55.39.189:11579] couldn't create child process: /usr/sbin/suphp for /home/website/public_html/index.php

Can anybody assist me please as Hostgator after hosting with these for about 12 years have suspended my site due to the following reasons and apparently using too much resource on my shared server... We recommend consulting with the place you acquired the script from to see if they have any guides or information on script optimizations. If that is not possible, a good way to approach the issue is to inspect these large database tables, and reduce the total rows in them by a significant amount: ibf_core_search_index 271442ibf_forums_posts 230921orig_ibf_posts 222606ibf_core_search_index_item_map 203187orig_ibf_reputation_totals 167822orig_ibf_spider_logs 665…

"Check network configuration" - those are the words some guy from my hosting company told me to do because something is not working right up there. Well I don't know how to check network configuration. Got nobody to ask how to check network configuration. Even if I had somebody to ask how to check network configuration, I would not know what to do with it. So 50$ to one handsome young man who can do whatever they want me to do. Please. P.S. Site is online and board is working, just some issue with "outgoing" something.

Any idea how I can fix these things except for the location (fixed that one on another topic that is apparently closed)?

I've got an odd issue with my forum. Occasionally the pages will take ages to load and it's always because the server seems to deliberate for seconds before sending any data at all. This is highly time-dependent; there are phases where TTFB is 300 ms but there are also phases where it's 4000 ms or more. Each phase typically lasts for a few minutes. It can't be load since it also happens on my test forum, which is on a VM in my intranet and has plenty of resources to spare even during slow phases (as does the production server). It's probably also not background processes since those are kicked off by cron so they shouldn't delay page visits.The delay only seems to ha…

Hello, I updated to the latest version of IPboard. I'm using an VPS and have a Wordpress installation (membership site ) and IPboard (community). It’s connected through SSO and after the update (which went fine) I wanted to add a new file storage option (Amazon S3). This is where the entire system went bananas and now I’m hit with the screen you can see below. If i hit refresh on that page I get this information on a naked skin forum without access to posts or backend: RuntimeException: COULD_NOT_SAVE_FILE (0) #0 /home/webbforetagarna/public_html/medlem/forum/system/File/File.php(263): IPS\File\_Amazon->save() #1 /home/webb…

Hi everyone When checking my website with gtmetrix.com, I get a very bad result with my page. how can I solve that problem with non-scaled images? Can I adjust that somewhere in the settings? I would just like to scale down the settings for the thumbnails. it seems they are stored in a new huge size instead of a small resolution (size). if somebody could tell me exactly where to adjust this, that would be great. kind regards Marcel

There is already an Invision Community installation in that database. Choose a different database or use a table prefix. I'm getting this error when trying to install a fresh 4.2.8 on my server using the database from my older 3.4.5 ? Do I need up upgrade the database first? If so, how do I do that? Is there a work around to what I'm doing? Should I install to a new database then import my older one? Is that even possible? Thanks in advance.

Hi. So I use this plugin. I have an issue with it, though. Certain long strings of text break the box. For example! I have a decent knowledge of editing themes and am a semi experienced web developer myself, but I can't seem to find a solution and the developer hasn't responded in about a month. Any idea how I can fix this via css or anything else? Thanks!

So I want to enable caching on my site, how do I go about that? I've installed memcache onto the server and invision now lets me select it as an option for caching but I don't know what server IP to put in. I've tried the VPS IP and other combinations even localhost and it continues to say 'The servers provided are not valid" what can I do??

So when my board was on IPB 3 I installed a lot of extra skins and mods, and all of the non-forum suite apps, none of which I want to use anymore. I now only want to use the forum (including posts and forum structure) and core (including members), and in terms of skins/mods nothing more than the first-party assets that come packaged by default. This is primarily to save storage space, reduce data usage, and minimize maintenance, especially since the other stuff wasn't really being used. Is there an easier way to get this done than the way I've in mind, which is to upload everything then delete the stuff I don't want anymore, seeing as that method could take a while, …

Hi folks, I've been playing around with Xampp on Windows 10 Home this weekend so I can follow some beginner dev tutorials. So far, I've found 427 ways not to do it! The local host test install guidance section here is basic and seems only enough to get you started but doesn't cover the task Cron side of things when running a localhost. So after a month or so, I've now given up on using an older spare PC on my home LAN as my XAMPP server, as MS seem to have killed off network shares and mapped drives in favour of pushing shared cloud drive storage. You can create them but you can't access them even on the same machine after a few reboots! Instead I've now se…

Hi, I've recently set up S3 and Cloudfront which has been a bit of a nightmare getting the CName URL right so objects don't keep disappearing after a few days. The help section here is out of date and missing the Cloudfront aspect. I was referrred to the out of date video in one ticket. If anyone has any tips on this, they would be appreciated. I have the bucket set up as bucketname/IPS/ and on some of my sites it seems fine, others I have to keep moving everything back back to my main server as all the Gallery images, emoticons etc because things start disappearing after a few days. Secondly, GTMetrix is reporting this in respect of my CDN: I have…

Hello again all! Our site has finally gotten to the point that we're going to need to expand beyond our small VPS and onto a dedicated platform. Our new platform is on CentOS 7. We have (as far as I can tell!) everything installed except for a few minor things: 1. cURL PHP extension is stuck on version 7.27. Seeing a warning that the repo we're attempting to update to 7.36 (at least) with is being obsoleted by this installation. 2. Don't have Zip PHP extension loaded. Except the server reports that it is. Attempting to reinstall it once again brings up the "obsoleted by..." message. 3. MySQL version 5.5.5-10.2.12-MariaDB is running. But IPS is wanting …

Hey all, My board is pretty new, but the page loading is a bit slow and we are getting a lot of system errors. I'm not very familiar with the database management area of the system. I know I've ready posts about folks recommending people that have been very helpful in optimizing their discussion boards. Any recommendations?
