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 did that along with my host and we couldn't see anything.

He took a guess at saying that VB Optimise was conflicting with another plugin.
Has anything similar happened before?

I would like to use this, but its a bit risky trying it again.

[DragonByte Tech]

As far as I can remember this is the first time we've ever encountered an ISE 500 when using vB Optimise.

That being said, I have (quite recently) ran across a server configuration where any error message from PHP would throw a 500 instead of actually printing the error.

If the error_log was of no help then sadly I can't be of any help either

Hey Fillip,

Thanks for the reply

I done another re-install and its failed again on me. I see on your website that you offer a paid installation service. I think its about $30, I'd be happy to pay that if you'd like to take on the job of installing this mod.

Perhaps you'll spot an obvious mistake, and we can highlight it for other users. I'm currently with a host who specialises in vBulletin, so my server should be well able to run this mod, it must be something small.

Let me know your feelings whether here or in PM.

Pro Install only covers actual installation of the mod into vBulletin, not the setup of the mod itself, although for vBO I tend to do a quick scan of the PHP Info and find out what they have installed and configure it to use that, or at least Filecache.

Are you sure XCache is configured correctly? Caching enabled, var_size > 0 and anything else Google has to say about XCache not working?

What happens if you create 2 separate php files on your server:

PHP Code:

<?php xcache_set('test', 'Working!');

PHP Code:

<?php echo xcache_get('test');

then run them in the order I showed here?

I got this message

Working!

I took a screenshot of my xCache info in my admincp (perhaps its useful to you)

[DragonByte Tech]

Are you sure you used 2 separate PHP files and didn't put the code in 1 file?

If so, then I have no idea, sorry

Those functions are exactly what vBO uses.

how to remove by hand this plugin ?

[Lpspider]

Hi,

I've properly installed memcache, confirmed memcache in the config file. In test, I get this:

unning Test: Fetch Cache
Your Opcache Operator extension is functioning, however it is unable to store data. Please check your extension configuration.

What might cause this? Reading previous threads shows others have had this issue too, I've been unable to find a solution, however.

[Behrooz_Ice]

I am running vB 3.8.4 and installed memcached on our Server and set memcache on vB Optimise - Main Settings but when i see "MySQL Queries vB Optimise has saved this forum:"
on footer forum, it show me null and blank query!
also i see Resource Statistics is null!
for more information please see the attachments.
please tel me whats the issue and what do I need to change?

[DragonByte Tech]

If you're running vB 3.8.4, why are you posting in the vB4 thread?
