Board Optimization - [DBTech] vB Optimise v2 (vB3)

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)

Ok, thank you I will try that.

[hpidriver]

My host has replied with the following:

all the necessary options are installed by default and some are disabled via php.ini

I see these functions are not disabled in php.ini which means these functions are already enabled.

Any other suggestions?

[DragonByte Tech]

Run test1.php then test2.php from the attached zip and see what the output is.

thank you for reply. if you mean Cache Settings this Memcached Setting in config.php VBulletin file, i had enable that before. its our config.php cache setting:

        // ****** DATASTORE CACHE CONFIGURATION *****
        // Here you can configure different methods for caching datastore items.
        // vB_Datastore_Filecache  - to use includes/datastore/datastore_cache.php
        // vB_Datastore_APC - to use APC
        // vB_Datastore_XCache - to use XCache
        // vB_Datastore_Memcached - to use a Memcache server, more configuration below
// $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

        // ******** DATASTORE PREFIX ******
        // If you are using a PHP Caching system (APC, XCache, eAccelerator) with more
        // than one set of forums installed on your host, you *may* need to use a prefix
        // so that they do not try to use the same variable within the cache.
        // This works in a similar manner to the database table prefix.
// $config['Datastore']['prefix'] = '';

        // It is also necessary to specify the hostname or IP address and the port the server is listening on
$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Memcached';
$i = 0;
// First Server
$i++;
$config['Misc']['memcacheserver'][$i]           = '127.0.0.1';
$config['Misc']['memcacheport'][$i]                     = 11211;
$config['Misc']['memcachepersistent'][$i]       = true;
$config['Misc']['memcacheweight'][$i]           = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcachetimeout'][$i]          = 1;
$config['Misc']['memcacheretry_interval'][$i] = 15;

and:

[root@server includes]# netstat -tap | grep memcached
tcp        0      0 localhost.localdomain:11211 *:*                         LISTEN      515063/memcached

i had enable all of Cache setting like Cache Styles and Cache Templates and Cache Datastore in that menu before but we have problem yet and i see Resource Statistics is null!
my question is, when we use Memcache instead of Filecache on Opcache Operator menu, what should i see in Resource Saving Statistic menu?
and please tel me Memcache is better or Filecache for the high speed loading of site?
note: my forum is hosted on linux dedicated server and use litespeed.

[dizzynation]

Does this help use less RAM on hosting servers?

[dizzynation]

Installed and Nominated, but after enabling I run a test and it says my vbo is turned off.....

[Edit] Ok i turned on filecache, and set to writable, but when I run a test it says AJAZ not available
