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:

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

Yes indeed. It appears to exist, with the following contents (which I assume are generic -- posting anyway, just in case it gives any incite):

working like a charm. Thanks

Question : What is filecache system

[bsun]

I'm looking for insight, rather. (I don't mean to incite anything -- that would be an entirely different situation.)

Caches vB Optimise variables in the file system rather than memory - it's slower, but works on every host.

Are you sure you're looking in the right place in your AdminCP menu? Can you post a screenshot?

vB Optimise v2.5.1
Feature: New Administrator Permission: Can Administer vB Optimise

[iraqiboy90]

Usersgroups->Administrator Permissions

When I open it, I see everything, except that new line, and I see this error message ontop of the list:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 5909

[DragonByte Tech]

Fixed, you can re-download and re-upload the files then rebuild bitfields via the AdminCP

I didnt update yet, but since I installed this mod, my forum started going wierd;
sometimes one of my CPU threads locks on the max, and everything on my pc gets super-slowmotion, and the sound starts lagging.
after a while, if I dont close firefox or chorme (depends on which one I used), the browser crashes and then everything goes normal.

Now few min ago, I went to the settings for the optimise, and when I started browsing through it, my CPU got locked again. I killed firefox through taskmanager, and entered again to shutdown the optimise, then 2 of my CPU threads got locked to max.
I killed FF again, and then cleared my cache in forum, and on my FF.

While I was in the middle of all that, (while being in slowmotion mode), I went to "resource manager", and went to the disk tab, didnt see anything suspicious, then I entered network tab, and my FF was constant uploading 200kB/s to my website. Normal browsing now after I turned the optimise off, it shows me a peak (for 2 seconds) of maximum 55kB/s. and the rest is 600 bit/s.

Im using Filecache btw.
And also, I noticed that at the same time my FF crashed on my PC, another PC at another country (teamviewing) with chrome running, also crashed.

[DragonByte Tech]

This mod does absolutely nothing in your browser - no new JavaScript or anything of the sort, so it cannot be the cause of this issue. This mod is 100% server-side.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help
