ASTRAPI Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 At 12 of November you should try to upgrade to version 7 of php as it is offer more than 50% speed than the old versions and yes it will work great with IPB 4.x as the latest RC working without any issues already.

sasiko Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 if you have xcache then dont upgrade php 7 right away. or any other third party addon that use php version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recifbox Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 i'm under the version 5.6 with 3.4.8 and 4.0.x and it works fine did you say php 7 or 5.7 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.F Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 DO NOT upgrade to php 7. Always wait and see the issues with it first and compatibility with what software you are using. Incredibly poor advice to upgrade as soon as it is released. If you have a Dev environment then go for it, for a production website, DO NOT, not yet anyway. Quote Libraries, packages and apps aren’t the only that need testing, though. Like the March Newsletter said (to which you can subscribe via this form, btw), extensions are on the front lines. PHP7’s new extension API is different enough from the old versions that several extensions will need extensive rewrites to remain compatible.

Please don't recommend this. IPS4 doesn't even approve support for PHP7 yet. Ergo, use it at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasiko Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 like ppl above said. extremely bad advice to upgrade straight away. i talked to devs for xcache and pagespeed and they said both that they need to do full rewrite for php 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTRAPI Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I didn't mean the same hour I suppose that you have a tested server and be sure that all your software working fine and then. Why using xcache when you have something better inbuild like Zend Opcache is something that i didn't think to be honest. I was test the latest RC6 build with zendopcache and memcache and was fine When the final 7.0 is out i will do one more test to be sure that all working and no last minute bugs and i will fire it So if you are using other software than the ones that i tested and mention here then you should test then yourself first. But in any case if you have any issue just go back to the older version it just takes a few minutes only (about 2 minutes). The software that i use will not keep me back and i am sure that i will be able to fire it up the same day and benefit from the amazing speed improvement !!!!!!

sasiko Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 you are welcome to provide any actual data showing opcache being better than xcache. until then its just your opinion. Just because it works fine for you doesnt mean it would for others. but yeah with new releases it comes with bugs.. just wait for others to provide feedback on the new php version and then make a decision after if you wanna upgrade php 7 or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersnGears Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm on 3.4.8 and PHP 5.6.14 My site is running fine with one small bug. Even though there are many people online, the site always reports close to zero people logged in.... we have at most 2 or 3 at a time after the upgrade. Google analytics says otherwise and we normally have 150 - 350 logged on at a time. So I feel it is just a reporting bug than an actual usability bug.

ASTRAPI Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 A sample: http://massivescale.blogspot.gr/2013/06/php-55-zend-optimiser-opcache-vs-xcache.html Comment Well, XCache is no more the best opcode cache around. But if you tested and works better and faster for you the xcache then stay with it... Php 5.6.x no issues at all with ipb 3.x or 4.x and if you have any issues then check your server configuration.

Varnish ? and other things cause this In ACP you may wish to try System > Security > Security Settings > Turn On Trust IP Addresses provided by Proxies OOps - sorry thats for 4.1.x, there is the same setting for 3.4.x but i can't find it at present Found it - For 3.4.x In ACP search for Forwarded - Set Enable X_FORWARDED_FOR IP Matching to YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersnGears Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I found out that the issue seemed to be some sort of issue between PHP 5.6 and nginx. *shrug* I removed nginx and the online count came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
