datastore cache to XCache - boost your vBulletin · **Released**: 03-02-2007

(note: do not apply this patch on vBulletin 3.7 as it's included already)
This patch allow you to use XCache as a datastore cache in vBulletin. This is definitely your choice if you have installed and enabled XCache on you server already.

Take care that this is a beta version and was not heavily tested. And i'm not familiar with vBulletin source code as i just started reading it today, but i don't have any difficulty reading it thanks to my years of php skill

Take aware that some vB plugin is not compatible with vB_datastore_*, not just vB_datastore_XCache. So, in case you find vB_datastore_XCache won't work, you'd better try datastore to file or memcache. If one of the others works but not vB_datastore_XCache, do report it to me so i can fix it.

Pre-requirement

a working php installtion
a working vBulletin 3.6.5 installtion
a working XCache installtion
set "xcache.var_size = 10M" or so in php ini

Install the modification
for those of you who can't run "patch", u may patch the file manually

download Attachment 61372 (class_datastore_xcache.php)
save the file as vBulletin.3.6/upload/includes/class_datastore_xcache.php
open vBulletin.3.6/upload/includes/class_datastore.php in your favor editor
add a line in class_datastore.php (see below)
update upload/includes/config.php to enable it (see below)

example class_datastore.php after modification:

PHP Code:


			
        }

        return true;

    }

}



// add class_datastore_xcache, enable it in config.php

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_datastore_xcache.php');

example config.php after modification:

PHP Code:


			


    // vB_Datastore_Filecache  - for using a cache file

// $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_XCache';

    // vB_Datastore_Memcached - for using a Memcache server

    // It is also necessary to specify the hostname or IP address and the port the server is listening on

Trouble Shooting
q. i have multiple vBulletin instance installed, the seems to mix data after install this plugin
a. this applies to apc too because, if you wanna fix it, try
open class_core.php, look for:
$this->prefix =& $this->registry->config['Datastore']['prefix'];
and modify to:
$this->prefix = $this->registry->config['Datastore']['prefix'] . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; // or HTTP_HOST

q. Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in $a.php on line $b
a. upgrade your plugin/hack that $a.php belongs to, e.g. vbjournal/vbgallery etc. OR open $a.php and locate at line $b, remove unserialize call, e.g.:
replace $var = unserialize($this->data);
with $var = $this->data;
be careful do not remove the whole line, just the unseralize( and )

Is it possible for you to turn on php errors? Then you can see the error. I know with xcache and php4 I had issues uploading attachments and some other various issues.

bluechris · #45 03-04-2007, 06:17 PM

Im not with 4 i am with 5.2.1 ... i will turn on php errors to see whats going on.

bluechris · #46 03-04-2007, 06:54 PM

Compatibility problem.

Great hack unfortunately it's not compatible with Photopost vBGallery.

I'm receiving all kind of weird errors:

PHP Code:


			
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /gallery/gallery_global.php on line 72

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /gallery/gallery_global.php on line 72

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /gallery/gallery_global.php on line 75

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /gallery/gallery_global.php on line 237

Also i'm receiving an error from Plugin Accelerator plugin:

PHP Code:


			
Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_plugin_accelerator.php on line 77

Phpxcache do you have any idea what could be the problem ?

Correction...it's not compatible with any of the large plugins like vBlogetin or GARS.
Errors like above everywhere

does vb_Datastore_File works? (i can't recall the name, u may check the class name in class_datastore.php)

if yes, it's vB_Datastore_XCache problem, otherwise, it's the problem between vbgooglemap and vB_Datastore.

i'd like to know what's going on. hope i know how to install the plugin. i'll check it later, and/or you trace it down.

Thanks Zia,

It has nothing to do with xcache.
I'm running xcache since the 0.x releases (before anyone used as phpcache at vbulletin). Everything runs just fine.

This plugin only works well with stock vbulletin.

It doesn't work well with the plugins. (Not only vBGallery, Geek Article System, and vBlogetin...it doesn't work with vBShout...)
