Kirill N Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Has anybody tried upgrading a large site (a backup of it) to a Beta version? Specifically, sites that have topics with over 50-100 pages?
craigf136 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 341 pages, over 8k posts We have over 30k topics and over 300k posts Everything has gone fine.
Kirill N Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 @craigf136 That "chicken sandwich" topic... how fast does it load for you if you're logged in from an admin account?
Kirill N Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 It loads in about 5 seconds.Weird - every topic on my forum that has a lot of pages takes MINUTES to load. I contacted the support about this and they told me it's because of a query that is "required in order to show the warn status alongside member post" and they can't remove it (though this wasn't an issue in 3.x).5 seconds still seems like a lot, doesn't it?
craigf136 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 It was the first time I had accessed it to be honest, now that it's cached it's loading in 2 seconds.
Makoto Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I imagine it could partially be an issue with your servers join buffer size being too small. That's just an off-the-wall guess though.
craigf136 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Well, I've got 3 topics which are basically libraries to 3 different games and they are extremely content rich & take over 10 seconds to access but are still loading once you do access. They are working just fine (always going to be slow due to the content within them) although they did load faster on PHBB before I converted the site to IPB (but thats a side issue, as more and more has been added since then).

That's just an off-the-wall guess though.Can't be that because the same topics load in less than a second in 3.x AND in 4.0 when I'm not logged in as an admin/mod.

In 3.x, any kind of topic, from those with 500+ pages to those with 1 response, loaded equally fast.
Andy Millne Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Yes, I'll be digging a little deeper on your site to track this down asap. There is no reason it should be taking minutes under any circumstances. It could be something simple like a missing index or as Kirito suggests some server specific MySQL configuration.
Makoto Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Yes, I'll be digging a little deeper on your site to track this down asap. There is no reason it should be taking minutes under any circumstances. It could be something simple like a missing index or as Kirito suggests some server specific MySQL configuration.If it is a join buffer size issue it could also be caused by a missing index (unless the value is configured really low), i.e. if there is a full join being made here. (Simply increasing the join buffer size isn't really a solution to the underlying problem in a situation like this but I don't know how the database is actually structured so I'm just kind of guessing around here.)Hopefully it is something as simple as a missing index and that's all it takes to fix it though. I know you've all put a lot of effort into database optimization and things like this can easily start becoming a bit of a headache, heh.
Ivo Pereira Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Just a fast question: is IPS4 already ready for production at all?
Makoto Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Just a fast question: is IPS4 already ready for production at all?Fast answer: No.It's beta. Beta is never ready for production.You should start seeing RC releases soon though. Stable won't be far behind after that.
BN_IT_Support Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I once had a slow query issue caused by the indexes of ibf_reputation_index becoming disabled which interestingly did not show up in the ACP index checker. Different version I know but as @Kirito suggests a check of the indexes might be worthwhile.
craigf136 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 i have a problem i putted all the files into the server but when i try to install it i have this blank page. and when i type on broswer "community.entergaming.gr/error.html" it shows me this. Please help me, thank you(i posted it here because they don't approving my topic. sorry)It's showing you have logged in as a visitor rather than a client, you'll need to login with the client account to gain access to support, if you are not a customer IPS will most likely be asking how you got a copy of the beta.
ehku Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I tried upgrading on localhost my site with the following stats: Took 13 hours to convert (some tables of) the database to UTF-8, then I got the following error when proceeding the upgrade: Clicking on Retry? will result in the same error. Clicking on Continue starts to upgrade but still will end up with the same error. Have no idea what to do
Management Charles Posted February 17, 2015 Management Posted February 17, 2015 Make sure you post bugs in the bug tracker. Posting them in a conversation probably won't get much traction
IPTV Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 If it took 13 hours for that....Then I am F***ed. Sorry, not sure how else to say it as...wow...hummm...3,281,780 Total Posts103,596 Total Members

Sorry, not sure how else to say it as...wow...hummm... 3,281,780 Total Posts 103,596 Total Members It took only about half an hour to reach 99.86% then stuck there during 13h. I don't know if it's something normal
IPTV Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 :D It took only about half an hour to reach 99.86% then stuck there during 13h. I don't know if it's something normal Can IPS Staff please kindly advise on the normal about of time to convert a larger site? Thanks
Izaya Orihara Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I am nervous lol.I have some topics that are over 1,000 pages long. So this will be interesting to see.(Still not doing it on my live site though)
