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.

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

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

for the past weeks without this mod turned on, there has been no crashes to my browser caused by my website.
Few minutes ago, after activating it and browsing (for 2 min) through the settings, my browser crashed.
I turned it off, and Im removing it. As you say that this mod does not do anything to my browser. so I guess its something to do server side.......

That's correct, it doesn't do anything to your browser.

What browser is it? Have you tried another browser?

Thanks for your update, Fillip

[Elenna]

Sorry if this is a silly question. Can I run this alongside the CSS Sprites mod? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=266696

I have a feeling that they'll work just fine together, I just want to make sure before I accidentally mess something up.

[DragonByte Tech]

You can, yeah

My resource stats work now!!! And they work going all the way back to the original install date!

Only question I have is how to read them. Is that number of saved DB queries per day? Some days the stat says over 16,000. Is that right?

Hi Fillip,

i just noticed, that vb Optimise adds two unnecessary brackets in the copyright footer. Can they be removed or do they have to be there?
Here a pic:
