We just tested out the Lite version, it looks promising and we are interested in the Pro plugin. However, our CPU has jumped up for about 3 times...!

Without the plugin:
Server Load Averages 2.04 1.99 1.63 | 1,392 Users Online (783 members and 609 guests)

With the plugin:
Server Load Averages 6.16 5.54 5.38 | 1,431 Users Online (800 members and 631 guests)

We are running APC by the way for OPCode caching + vbOptimise plugin. Any idea?

nginx support?

Thanks you.

Is APC also enabled in vBulletin's config.php?

Also, bear in mind that CPU load of 6 is only a problem if your CPU is a single Dual Core CPU. If you have a Quad Core CPU, 8 is the load ceiling before you may experience slowdown.

Yes, DBSEO comes with a sample nginx.conf file for Nginx support. You must modify it yourself to suit your server & forum.


Fillip

Running on 16 cores, but slowing down the site heavily.. APC is active in config.php and on our busy hour the server load went up to 14.xx :(

Now- without the mod- back running on 1.50-4.00, so it seems like it indeed is the plugin. Any idea if the URL rewriting could make the server load increase this much? Using Nginx too- going to try rewriting trough there right now to see any differences.

Argh, that wasn?t what I?d wanted to hear :/
It?s slowing down the site, yes, but (for us on a minor forum with 200 sessions at one time) not that heavily that user experiences are affected very much. But I guess that?s through design.

Could you please report back, how you got this solved for you in the end, when you?re done reviewing that issue?

Yep, we switched directly from vbSEO to DBSEO and I wrote down the loads for comparison. With vbSEO CPU load was ~80% and server loads barely under 1:1:1 .

I?m not worried to run out of ressources :D. Indeed it has slightly slowed down the server. I was just courious if that could somehow add up over time to create a problem the one or other way. As Jorandh pointed out now, unfortunal it can be a big deal. Unless DBTech can?t relay on a QA with 20 people, DBSEO is beeing updated on the fly and therefor needs bug reports they can act upon. It?s a bit to much to expect, that Fillip is going through each an every line of code to reflect every server config, environment or custom feature available.

Errm wait..mhm..that idea doesn?t sound THAT bad :D;)

Yes, it looks bad, having server load from vBSEO to DBSEO spike that much.

On the other hand, I hope that DBTech would find a way to reduce that load with next versions. For example, APTL (thanks mod) had greatest impact on server (at least mine), so much so I had to stop using it. But, over time that was reduced so much that now it's reasonable.

Hopefully the same will be with DBSEO.

What's with page generation time? How longer it takes to create page (forum index, full thread page, these are the most telling pages to check)?

am install this tool give error when enable Rewrite Forum URLs Rewrite Thread URLs 404 error on threads every thread i did both this thing but same problem

RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews

4. (vB4 Only) Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Friendly URLs
and set the "URL Type" to "Standard URLs".

5. (vB4 Only) Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Friendly URLs
and set the "Canonical URL" enforcement to "Off"

is your admincp folder renamed or have you left it as default name

I'll do a test to show the difference when I have less members online. At this moment the traffic is high and I don't want to risk downtime.

my admin panel renamed and in htaccess i also put my correct addres of admincp and modcp but still got same problem what i do ?

Post on the coders site they will go into your site and fix it for you

Hi

I am using DragonByte SEO v1 (vB4) (System Version 1.4.2),

i see, Automatic Sitemap Generation Frequency Time is Minimum 1 day , can we generate sitemap twice a day ?

Or

how to generate sitemap twice in a day via cron job ?


Thanks :)

Don?t know but..why would you want to run the sitemap twice a day? Is there a reason for, worth thinking that over?

CMS Comment Pagination does not appear to work in this mod. Regardless of which setting is tested:
[section_title]/[entry_id]-[entry_title]/comments[page].html

They don't function at all. It always returns the following instead:

[section_title]-[entry_title]-[entry_id]/index-[page].html#comments

I've dumped dbSEO Cache, CMS Cache, Tried multiple browsers, no matter what I enter in the custom Box- same info is returned :
[section_title]-[entry_title]-[entry_id]/index-[page].html#comments


*******************************
UPDATE BELOW
*******************************

This issue was resolved by simply upgrading to the latest (pro) release. Thank you dbSEO!

hello , thanks for replying .

actually i was using VBSEO before it was generating sitemap to webmaster account twice a day using Cron, now i am using DVSEO it generates once in 2 days . so i was just asking .

DragonByte SEO v1.4.3

Bug Fixes:

• On some server configurations, a clean install of DBSEO could display PHP compatibility warnings or a blank page (if error display was turned off)

Fillip

In the do_not_upload folder there's a server-side cron job file. If you're comfortable editing PHP files and using the crontab feature on your server, you can use that file to generate the sitemap as often as you want :)


Fillip

Thanks, loving the constant updates.

Hello DBTech Developers,

I have an issue I am hoping to figure out. I have attached an image of all the relevant system information.

One of our users reported that he uses the "Linear - Newest First" thread display mode and that when he submits a post in a thread with more than one page he is taken to the last page where the oldest posts are displayed, rather than being taken to the top of the first page as he should. I have verified this happens to me as well when I changed my thread display mode settings to match his.

I also notice that if I click the icon on the forum display page that will take you to the last post in a thread, I am instead taken to the last page where the oldest posts are displayed. And if I click the enumerated links at the upper right of the posts, I am taken to the last page if I am on the first and to the first page if I am on the last.

I have always used the "Linear - Oldest First" thread display mode and so I never noticed this issue before now. This is not an issue on my two dev sites on which I do not have [DBTech] DragonByte SEO v1 (vB4) installed and when this issue was first reported, the site ower immediately suspected it likely had something to do with the "URL Rewrite Settings."

So, I am hoping someone can help me get to the bottom of this. I performed a search of the web and this thread and did not find anything relating to this issue.

Best Regards,

Mark.

I've had the same reported by one of my users but blamed it on vb4 being buggy, I never even thought about dbseo and as it was only one person using this setting I didn't really investigate.

I'll look into this as soon as I can :)


Fillip

I had downloaded this and installed it. Now I have uninstalled it but two files are still showing up in my suspect file versions even though I've removed them and removed the product. How do I get rid of this mod COMPLETELY? Is there something lingering in the database that I need to remove/check?

Files list is attached in screen shot.

Did you remove md5_sums_dbtech_dbseo.php in the includes folder

AH!!! That worked thanks :)

Happy to help

DragonByte SEO v1.4.4

Bug Fixes:

• [Fix in testing] An issue where changing the URL formats for certain URLs could learn to PHP Warning messages has been resolved

Fillip

I've installed the last version on a site that's not at full use now. The pages are working fine as far I can see. Now is the time to try the extra features:

a) Sitemap generator.

vB sitemaps are on ./htdocs/store_sitemap

DBSeo sitemaps are stored or only generated on the fly?

b) I want to install the social buttons

This one strong reason to install vBseo, you have many features in one mod

I have set the social buttons feature on and nothing appears

What I'm missing?

Note: When I made changes cookies and browser and server caches make a nightmare. Please put recemndations in the manual!
Note: I'm on the free mod because the client wants to change the domain, so by now we are on test mode.

Just installed this, will report back with analytics in a few weeks.

1 issue though, I previously used the Advanced friendly URL's, but now I have .html at the end of every URL.

Can you please show me how to remove .html or add this in the next update?

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

After installing this mod, my breadcrumbs "forum" link has changed. Before it directed users back to the forums but not it's sending them to the home page which I have set to a welcome page on the CMS side. How can I change the breadcrumbs link back to the forums?

Disable the plugin "Overwrite Navbits"

I'm running php 5.5 with vb 4.2.3. Can DBSEO work with php 5.5?

Thanks.

Lots of updates in a short time, could have better planning.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've done this but it didn't remedy the situation. Any other suggestions?

I thought the whole premise of tracking user ids was the purpose of Universal Analytics. Its not possible to do this with this plugin?

DragonByte SEO v1.4.5

New Features:

Thread URL Formats: Prefix ID

• [prefix_id] can be embedded in custom URL formats
• New setting value for what word to use if no thread prefix was added
• Configurable via DragonByte SEO Control Panel

Fillip

Turn off "Force Forum Home Index".

Yes it is, there's a setting for it in the Google Analytics settings.


Fillip

Hi Fillip,

Where do I find that setting? I've searched both the SEO settings and the Control Panel for that term and it's not found.

I get a SQL error email every now and again. Is this definitely my host? What should I say to them? This never happened before installing the mod.

Database error in DragonByte SEO 1.4.4:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
