[DBTech] vB Optimise 2.0.1 (Lite) · **Released**: 12-18-2008

vB Optimise Lite

The newly revamped vB Optimise was created for vBulletin 4, but has now been made compatible for vBulletin 3.8. In this release I have re-coded vB Optimise from the gound and focused stability over features, you'll notice Phrase Caching and vBAdvanced Integration have bit the dust, this is to maintain a sync state between this version and the vBulletin 4 release.

Professional version & feature list available @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum
Priority support for Lite version is handled at the Developers Website.

What does it do?

vB Optimise is intended to optimise vBulletin software by integrating several PHP "cachers" and handling data before vBulletin. This works by encountering and handling data prior to vBulletin in order to skip the arbitary execution that would be more server intensive.

Real-Life Statistics

We've teamed up with some Big Forums to show you the impact of vB Optimise, you can view this public chart which shows both our statistics and theirs:

Features

Supported Extensions
- APC
- eAccelerator
- Memcache
- XCache
- WinCache
- Filecache
Style Cacher
Caches style data to globally reduce a query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Template Cacher
Caches template data to globally reduce a query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Datastore Cacher
Forces custom datastore items from modifications (including those from vB's blogs) to use your configured Datastore Cache method instead of being forced into the database. This reduces page queries by where affected.
vB CMS Template Caching
(Automatic) Corrects many uncached templates within vB CMS to reduce upto 20+ queries on CMS pages (number varies based on content).
Optimal Settings Check
Provides a quick interface to identify possible settings which can be changed on your forum for further optimisation.
Self-System Tester
Provides a relatively straight-forward system check to ensure your vB Optimise installation works fully.
Automatic Cache Flusher
Automatically flushes cache within the Admin CP based on specific triggers to make sure content does not remain stale on your forum.
XCache Authentification
Supports XCache Admin Authentification by allowing you specify the username/password in a configuration if needs be.

Features - Pro

Notices Cacher
Caches users dismissed notices to reduce a near-global query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Showgroups Cacher
Caches the showgroups query which becomes more intensive as your user-base grows.
Forum Display Query Enhancement
Enhances a stock vBulletin query within Forum Display to speed up the page.
Forum Home WOL Cache
Caches Forum Home "Who's Online" to remove an intensive query and allow larger sites to display this data without impact.
vB Cache Override (Feature not available on vBulletin 3)
Ability to override vBulletins new built-in database cacher for the CMS / Forum Sidebar Blocks to remove anything from 1 to 20+ queries based on your content.
Full Guest Caching
Ability to cache entire pages and serve them saving not only hundreds of queries but upto 90% of CPU processing towards Guests.
Statistical Resource Savings
Ability to see just exactly how many queries per day vB Optimise has saved your database. You'll be surprised at the numbers.
Forum Resource Statistic
Shows off vB Optimise resource saving statistics directly within forumhome statistics.
....and more!

Release Notes

If you've used vB Optimise before you'll be aware the previous version had phrase caching, however this caused complications with the way phrases are used within vBulletin so it has not been ported over at this time.

FAQ

Q: I have WinCache installed, but vB Optimise tells me it's not?
A: WinCache only introduced OpCode support in version 1.1, if you're using version 1.0.x you will need to upgrade.

Q: I'm using the XCache method, flushing doesn't work?
A: If you have XCache authentification, turn the admin option on within vB Optimise Settings, then edit ./vboptimise/config.php and specify your XCache username/password. Alternatively you can disable XCache authentification within php.ini:

Code:

xcache.admin.enable_auth = Off

Q: I have eAccelerator installed, but vB Optimise tells me it's not?
A: eAccelerator does not provide the caching extension by default, you will need to recompile PHP with additional flags. For more information read eAccelerator documentation located here: http://eaccelerator.net/wiki/CompileConfiguration (Specifically look at: with-eaccelerator-shared-memory)

This worked well for me until I used the flush cache, since then all I get is a white screen with page not found.
I did the:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', 1); and uninstalled,
and it works as long as I have that file in,
but as soon as I reload my orriginal config.php I get the exact same thing.

This mod works great if you want to break your forum. DO NOT INSTALL!

Works perfectly on all of the forums I admin. What PHP and MySQL version?

5.0.67-community - Sql
5.2.6 -PHP

I am trying to disable all mods individually to narrow down the problem

trickfly · #**777** 02-01-2009, 10:22 PM

is this better than Memcache (or xcahce) ?

lasto · #**780** 02-02-2009, 01:26 PM

Im using file cache at moment as it could`nt find any of the others on my server.
Queries dont see to of gone down but i think ive noticed a slight increase in speed.
Does this really work and what are the downsides to it ?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
