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

PHP.ini had this:

PHP -V Output:

Try deleting all vB Optimise files (might want to uninstall it first), including old files (i.e. the vboptimise directory that's not inside the dbtech directory) and re-install.

I've no idea why it would try to re-declare that class...

I am getting this error when I tried selecting eAccelerator as the cache operator.



The problem is that eAccelerator is installed and is working fine on my server.



Is there anything I could do? Or I am stuck with File cache? Thanks.

Due to no shared caching feature in Eaccelator 9.6.1, I have decided to try Xcache instead and now get this error:

Warning: xcache_get() [function.xcache-get]: XCache var cache was not initialized properly. Check php log for actual reason in [path]/dbtech/vboptimise/includes/operators/xcache.php on line 21

[DragonByte Tech]

You'll need to contact your host regarding that one, I've never ran into that one before so I can't help, sorry

It's a problem with the way XCache is set up on the server, not with vBO.

I am very interested in this plugin simply for the CDN integration. I have done a lot of other manual optimizing, but the CDN integration is the one I am after.

Here are some questions:

I am going to use Rackspace Cloud Files. Will this plugin automatically upload the files from my server to the Cloud Files? Obviously I will need to create a bucket and change the cname, but I am wondering if I will have to manually upload the files to the CDN.

Will this store all attachments, images, css, js to the CDN? Will there be proper expires headers, etc?

I am familiar with Wordpress and have used W3Total Cache many times. It is a great plugin and really works well with Cloud Files. Will this plugin have a similar experience as far as integrating with Cloud Files and uploading new content?

Looks like your host is using suPHP, you will have to run DSO to make this work.
Contact your host and ask them if they can do this for you.

Via the Origin Push/Pull method, yeah

Attachments no, everything else yes.

Why am I forced to have 3 links on every page of my website if I pay $100 for the plugin?

I have to pay an extra $100 to remove the branding? $200 total? Thats a little ridiculous for removing links/ads.

There are 2 links in the pro version, not 3, both to dragonbyte-tech.com. We cannot discuss the pro version here on vb.org, but we are aware not all sites will be able/willing to pay for the pro modification etc, which is why we put out a 100% free lite version. In addition we don't force anyone to use our products, it's completely optional .
