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

Did you remember to turn the modification on via Main Settings, and configure a cache system (or Filecache if you have nothing else installed)?

Yes, both are set (online and memcache).

Anything else I should check? ty

[DragonByte Tech]

Turn on debug mode and see if vBOptimise adds itself to the drop-down of report items. If it does not, please try disabling all other mods (it's fine to turn your forums off for this process if you don't want others seeing this info, your page loads alone should generate stats) and see if vBO appears there then.

If it still doesn't appear (don't rely exclusively on the stat counter as it recounts every 10 minutes) then please PM me with a link to your issue post, an FTP account and an AdminCP account so that I can find out what's going on

OK, thanks. I will try this during a slow period later. In the interim, I have 2 issues... I am embarrassed to say I don't know how to turn on debug mode, nor do I know where the drop-down report items are found.

Will this directly overwrite v2.0.1 that i have installed now, or do i need to remove and replace ?

I bought the full version of this mod a couple of days ago and my homepage stopped working (blank screen) although all the diagnostics are green. Also despite the savings stats in the admincp I'm seeing no change in MYSQL statistics. Where have I gone wrong?
