ctrlbrk Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm new to IPB. I'm not seeing the option anywhere to enable APC, memcache, xcache or etc. Can someone point me towards it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 In ACP, just search for memcache. Its always the easiest way to find something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Majrashi Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration -> Data Storage By default IPS have file cached enabled but you can chose Mysql and any cache method you want The data storage method is used by various systems to save arbitrary data. If caching is enabled, using the MySQL Database provides the best performance for most environments, otherwise using the File System is usually best.

ctrlbrk Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks, I found it. Anyone have comments on using Redis vs Memcache vs APC? I am a fan of Redis in my own development projects, but not sure about IPB performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrlbrk Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 E3-1275 v2, 32GB, 2x1TB Samsung 850 Pro R1, Debian 8, kernel 4.0.4, MariaDB 10.0, IPB 4.0. Dedicated server. Zero activity on this box except for my test. Brand new IPB 4.0 installation, there is one post on the forum, default skin. All tests used the same source server config with webpagetest site. All caches are local (127.0.0.1). On each new config, the services were restarted so that the 'first view' would be an accurate representation of an uncached thread being viewed.

Aside from the disappointing performance, I also noticed the APC test version generated an extra 83kb of traffic for reasons unknown.

ctrlbrk Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Does anyone have results that contradict mine? As it stands, it seems "no cache" produces the fastest consistent load times. Which is beyond reason... ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fan of Redis in my own development projects, but not sure about IPB performance. Memcache is the only one where you can enable cache pages for guests. So in the end, is the best one for IPS. sobrenome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summit360 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Interesting test results. I was just setting up a redis container and enabled caching. Less scientific, but it felt slower, maybe I'm getting old. It's only me using it between a couple of incognito sessions...I've also got a memcache container waiting. Once I've sorted another issue, I'll probably get to throw some load testing on and see. I suspect, the non-cache response time & load will rocket as we head up the RPS chart.

LinkMania Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi, with my 4.0.8.1 and a 6gb database of a forum since 2005 the memcache performance is awful while apcu is pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you running php-fpm too? In my testing, memcached was the fastest option, it blew away Redis too. I'm using Zend Opcace, MySQL for "data storage method', and memcached for Caching Method.

tjk Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You are using a Memcached build that is 3 years old. Maybe its the cause of being slow.2 things...1. I have watched this thread, and have not received emails on any of the updates, sounds like a bug if any IPS admins are watching.2. I'm not complaining of slowness, quite the opposite, I'm able to get over 700 RPS using apache bench. As for memcached I've looked for someone packaging newer releases for 14.04 but haven't found them, any pointers here would be appreciated.
