Uninstalled. Was also doing this on PM and some other pages.

I uploaded a new version that fixes a bug that was causing CMS and some other pages to load blank, or show errors.
To update, just upload the contents of the UPLOAD folder to your forum root and allow it to overwrite the old file.

Thanks for the update. I tried the older version a while back, but like you mentioned I had some issues with blank pages.

So far so good with this version. Using it on vb 4.2 PL3 with XCache 3.0.1.


Is anyone still using the template caching mentioned from this link?

Yes. Latest version is 3.1.0. It's an easy install and can be done in just a couple minutes.

I've just installed vBOptimise which i am told works best with this mod.

I've uploaded all the contents into the forum root. Now looking at step 2

2. Open up your /includes/config.php file and add the following:

I went to download the file /includes/config.php and i'm being told its the same file i've just uploaded from vBoptimise. is this correct?

If so, where abouts do i add the code

You really need to remove the info from the above post, you gave out all your sites info in the config file.

im totally new at this and dont really know what i am doing. Im still learning. thanks ozzy

Where do i add the code?

Also, it says to edit it to include my admin xcache username and password. where do i find these or is this where i create them?

xCache can be run With or Without "Password Authentication". Running with password authentication has been known to cause some issues with vBulletin 4 and some mods. I've come across it personally it usually has to due with stale data, that is memory not being cleared when it should.

1) IF you decide to run xCache with "Password Authentication"

You will need to make sure these lines exist in your php.ini file:

Code:

---

xcache.admin.enable_auth="On"
xcache.admin.user="YOUR USERNAME HERE"
xcache.admin.pass="YOUR PASSWORD HERE (MD5)"

---

Then you need to add these lines to your config.php file:

Code:

---

    // ****** XCACHE CONFIGURATION *****
        // Here is XCache login information to use XCache instead of MYSql to cache.
$config['xcache']['user'] = 'YOUR USERNAME HERE';
$config['xcache']['pass'] = 'YOUR PASSWORD HERE (NOT MD5)';

---

It doesn't really matter where in the config.php file they go, personally I put it right under the "DATASTORE CACHE CONFIGURATION" section (which should also be set to use xCache) that way all the cache settings are right next to each other.

2. IF you decide to run xCache without "Password Authentication"

In php.ini this will be the only setting change:

Code:

---

xcache.admin.enable_auth="off"

---

..and in config.php file you will just need to make sure xCache is set in the "DATASTORE CACHE CONFIGURATION" section.

I am not so sure this cache is good for you unless you have decent amount of ram. If you are already having issues using up your ram this will make it worse. Don't get me wrong, this can help immensely but not if you do not have a decent amount of ram.
