Board Optimization - [DBTech] vB Optimise v2 (vB4)

vB Optimise Lite

Professional version & feature list available @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com
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:

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

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:

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)

Q: It says my opcode cacher can't store data?
A: Check to see you're using a supported Apache handler if you're using Apache: http://www.thecpaneladmin.com/wp-con...phandlers2.png

i sent this post on vb3 thread before but anybody don't reply to my post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=34
please reply to my post and help me to solve this issue DragonByte Tech.

[Lpspider]

My daily resource saving is listed at about 140 a day. Why would it show this if I'm not able to fetch catch sucessfully? Does this mean it's working?

Edit: I figured it out with the help of my post. I was using the wrong ip. I was using the site ip instead of the server ip.

We absolutely loved this module for our old vb3 forum, so when it came time to set up a vb4 one, we were happy to see it still around.

That said, in trying to install the free version of this without uploading anything beyond the XML, we received a message about how "vboptimise/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!"

Fair enough -- the authors provide a nice "upload" folder. A couple questions, however (since I'm a bit foggy today and a seemingly-good upload fix didn't result in any new cPanel menus):

-- Can we assume that each portion of that "upload" folder reflects something additive for the equivalent space on the server? (So, for example, can I make the seemingly obvious assumption that C:\mylocalfolder\upload\includes\xml\cpnav_vboptim ise.xml can go into the existing /serverhome/includes/xml/ folder? It's always worth asking.)

-- Is there any way to find a list of the files/tables that I should manually check for removal after an uninstall of version 1.3.x before installing the new version?

Thanks for any thoughts. This is a great product!

[bsun]

In addition to my questions on the previous post (right in proximity to this one), I have two more:

-- Assuming installation is successful, can we also assume we'll be seeing a nice, new "vB Optimise" menu on the primary left navigation rail of the control panel, as in previous versions?

-- Are there any existing vB Optimise 3.x files that we should avoid deleting before installation?

Thanks very much!

my provider "leasweb" does not have any cache operator installed..... They tried APC but they had problems with it so they disabled it.....

Yeah, but you should drag and drop the contents of the upload folder to your forum folder to ensure the files are put in their correct locations.

You will need to check the .zip file for v1.3.x, I wasn't responsible for that so I couldn't tell you, sorry

Correct

Nope, it's safe to remove all older files before installing a new version.

You can still use the Filecache method

Thanks for all of the detailed answers - it always makes my heart glow to see people answering point-by-point, as you did.

Just for the sake of being super-cautious (and maybe a bit for future users): I asume you mean that we should drag the folder itself into our forum folder, rather than the contents alone. (If we were to copy the contents alone and agree to upload prompts, we would quickly find important vBulletin base folders like "includes" completely overwritten!)

Please let me know if my interpretation of the quote above is correct. Many thanks again for a great product!

[DragonByte Tech]

No, it should be the contents alone. The includes folder that comes with this mod only contains new XML files that are unique to this mod, so any overwrite prompts will be purely for any existing files belonging to this mod

[bsun]

Thanks! That of course worked. We added the files and ran the install from the xml provided for vB4, but no such menu has appeared. Here's the output of the installation in our browser:

Updating Version Number To: 1.5.1

Created Table: vb3_vboptimise
Populated Table: vb3_vboptimise

Updating Version Number To: 2.4.0

Updating Version Number To: 2.4.0

Created Table: vb3_vboptimise_cdn

... followed by the usual rebuilding of the styles.

Do you happen to see anything odd about this output?
