VB5 Too slow with many errors

[iref2010]

Upgraded my project to vb5. its using mysql 5.5. we have seen that the queries related to cache and user table are causing too many issues and coz most of the times we see table lock issues with user table. user table is myIsam why is it not InnoDB? what if we make it InnoDB?.

2. Forum is running too slow due to so many queries and assets load. How can we make our forum fast? we are considering to switch to mariadb for vb5 in order to make it fast.

You can convert the user table to innodb if you want, it will be fine.

[iref2010]

please tell me if we upgrade mysql to mariadb and php to php7 in vb5. would it give unnoticed issues? does vb5 support php7 and mariadb.

Also,
please suggest other optimization options.

[Paul M]

Yes, the current vB5 version (5.2.4) supports both php7 & mariadb.

I am facing issues in finding out why advance search results by tag is case sensitive.
There is no option in admincp like such, when I went through code, I reached no where but that the $nodes['results'] is empty in getInitialResults in core/vb/api/search.php.

Please help me fix this, our site is on production and we do not want to lose our users with this search.
:(:confused:

Hi,
The searchlog table is increasing. it takes up more than 10GB space in just 24 hours. How can I avoid entries in my Search log table. I am using ga analytics to track my data i have no use of searchlog.

Please refer to this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-5-connect/vbulletin-5-connect-questions-problems-troubleshooting/vbulletin-5-support-issues-questions/3972928-too-much-db-writing-because-of-searchlog-table

I dont see how GA and Searchlog are connected, they do completely different things.

You cannot avoid entries in searchlog, its part of how vB5 works.

The OP wasn't saying they're related. just that he/she had something to track visitors already and didn't need the search log.. At least that's how I read it

[Paul M]

Searchlog doesnt track visitors, so as I said, I fail to see the connection.
