I tried finding someone to make something like this when 3.0 first came out, but no one was interested :(

AFAIK, that was pre-3.0.2 and is no longer the case. Based on what I was told, those *should* now use Sphinx as well, however I will yield that question to Brandon for 100% confirmation.

Okay I finally figured out the problem. I made my sphinx.conf file WHILE upgrading, and apparently it still grabbed the 3.0.1 file :( Now I ran killall searchd and started over, utilizing the changes you have specified. All is well now, thanks for the assistance! ;) EDIT @ .om: You have you killall searchd, then run: /usr/local/bin/indexer --config /path/to/sphinx.conf --all then: /usr/local/bin/searchd --config /path/to/sphinx.conf ...after uploading the new sphinx.conf of course :P and don't forget to update your crontab too!

But it can't do anything if there are no indexes on the server <_<

Also I tried changing my sql_port to 3312 in my data source definitions, but no luck with that either. It appears as if somewhere those indexes weren't created, but the forums are looking for them while searching.

You already can purchase "upgraded" support for an extra fee ;)

The only *new* thing I know is full support for Sphinx, which I'm super excited for! :D

Just keep in mind that the articles on the resource site are NOT the official documentation for IP.Board or any other IPS, it is merely a wiki that is user-editable by ANY other customer. The official documentation *I believe* you have access to still, even if you don't have an active support license (I could be wrong on that though). The point is, the articles on the resource site aren't the documentation, therefore your argument is totally invalid.

Wait until 3.0.2 to setup Sphinx, as 3.0.1 doesn't fully support it.

...what are you talking about?!?

I just had a great idea from this thread! What about making the ACP another "module" similar to forums and members and stuff, and display it inside a tab for easy use and access:

Lindy/Charles, Last week I submitted a ticket in my client center regarding mySQL slow queries, and server optimization. I know the latter isn't fully relevant to IPS and their product IP.Board, however it really is in the company's best interest to make sure every installation is running at its peak efficiency. Being the operator of a pretty big board, optimizing everything to make sure everything is running in tip-top shape is one of my #1 priorities. Jason took my issue and treated it like it was his own, never once implying anything like it was outside of the realm of support, and helped in every way he could. This is my first experience with Jason, but boy do I hope it's not my last! It is support like this that is one of the reasons I stay with IPS, and will for a long time to come. In a different ticket, after a late night exchange of replies, he can even appreciate some kidding around: I also noticed after him logging in that his IP did not go back to your main office (also, responding well after business hours...big plus as well), and I know it's sometimes tough to gauge the level of work a telecommuter is doing - but rest assured Jason is the best employee you have. Aside of the developers of course :P I've also had really great luck with Brandon as well, you guys really made a great decision offering him a job with IPS. He also treats your issue like it were his own, and is extremely well rounded in servers, PHP coding, different versions of software, etc. (really valuable skills to have). It is because of these two gentlemen that I choose to stick with IPS for the life of my site.

It's very sporadic for me too, I had a ticket today with a response within 5 minutes. Another ticket that I created YESTERDAY has sat unattended to for over 24 hours (which is more important to me than my other ticket) :(

Well I'm all setup right now, but the question that still remains is the caching system. I currently am using the Disk Cache, but think a PHP Caching system would perform best. There are 3 major kinds though, eAccelerator, XCache, and APC. APC is going to be included in PHP6, so one would think it is the best and everything - but it can depend on the software, and version. I know on the resources site a number of years ago for 2.1 bfarber recommended eAccelerator, but I'm not sure if that's the same case for IPB 3.0 or not. I want to make best use of it, including adding it into my conf_global.php so I'd like a recommendation please, from staff if at all possible :) Or maybe the disk cache is the best? Or maybe I can/should use both? Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I just want best setup possible. Thanks!
