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

My optimal settings and system check both pass. I am using Filecache but I had to set the dir perms correctly to get system check to pass so I believe everything is set.

Hi Fillip,

I posted in this thread many months ago about how I could not run this plugin.

I'm after moving from nimbushosting over to wiredtree and now it works 100% fine. It must have been blocked somehow. The install and setup was a total breeze.

Inside of 10 minutes I saved over 4,000 requests

I'm going to run this for 1 month (maybe less) and then upgrade to pro and compare the difference.

I'm really impressed, a big thank you for creating a wonderful plugin like this!! Awesome

Have you also enabled the Resource Saving Statistics in the Main Settings?

Great mod thanks dbtech!

Getting this error after flush cache

Fatal error: Storing of variables is not enabled within XCache in [path]/includes/class_datastore.php on line 533

What to do?

[datoneer]

And getting this error on my forum home page:

Warning: xcache_isset() [function.xcache-isset]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /home/_____/public_html/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_cache.php on line 84

[datoneer]

Ok it's working ok now no errors but i'm getting white pages when trying to change any of settings in admincp. What's wrong now

[DragonByte Tech]

Looks like you'll need to contact your host and ask them to ensure that XCache is installed properly and configured properly.

You can also add

PHP Code:

@ini_set('display_errors', true); 


directly beneath <?php in your config.php file to see if that displays an actual error message rather than just a white page.
