I had no idea I needed to edit datastore.cache.php :D I'll check the stats tomorrow and see if I'm "done" :) Thanks

Ok so in about 25 hours .... ...which is pretty darn impressive :) My only remaining question is in regards to the "Resource Statistics" page ... it doesn't show anything, why?

Right click the center area, does it say "Movie not loaded..." greyed out?

If so, please ensure you uploaded the .swf file to the correct directory.

EDIT:

I never should have said it's "blank" the swf loads ... it's just not showing any data.

Make sure you enable resource statistics collection and display of it...click around all the options. Can't remember exactly where it is within the vBOptimise section

If we cannot use any opcache modules due to hosting limitations, filecache is the only option correct?

Also, is it possible that using filecache could actually slow the site down because of added disk I/O? The reason I ask is because I had tried this mod on my site, and while at times it was much faster, at other times it was slower. Furher, certain areas of the site such as admincp were considerably slower with the mod installed.

I was using filecache and the folder 0777. System test and optimal settings all passed.

Thanks

Yes, using filecache could slow down the site because of disk I/O

That very much depends on the speed of your HDDs, 15k RPM SAS disks will still be pretty fast.

It wouldn't slow down your site unless the disks were overloaded as a result of shared hosting overselling, but it wouldn't be as fast as memory based cachers :)

I encountered awful trouble when I set this up.

I have xCache on my VPS already set up (and confirmed by my host)
I moved everything into the file-system i.e Avatars and the rest.

When I ran the test I got this -

And then I noticed I could not do anything in my admincp, I was very limited in my actions.
If I tried to uninstall I was left with either a blank screen or this 500 error

I wasn't able to turn off the hook system, and my host had to edit the config file (I think) to disable all plugins so we could un-install VB optimise.

Have you any idea why it would act like this? Is there perhaps a step if missed/done wrong, cause major problems like this?

Thanks for providing any answers and also for giving us all a plugin like this.

You will have to check Apache's error_log file to find out the real cause.
