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)

Fillip,

Thank you a lot for adding this feature that I've requested on your support forums. That is simply awesome, as we have several admins, and I don't want them messing aroung with vB Optimiser's configurations.

As for the performance... I can only say: wow! I am attaching a screenshot from our MRTG, showing the traffic on our MySQL server. See the traffic before and after... You can clearly see what happened from week 8 on...

Thanks a lot my friend, I am a proud paying supporter of your work.

when i have this addon enabled i can not save anything in admin panel. it will shows an blank page in admin cp and mod cp.

Any idea?

[DragonByte Tech]

That usually means you've selected an opcode cacher that you either don't have installed or is not correctly configured.

Disable hooks by adding

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


to your config.php file and change the cacher.

Hi I have this installed and I have apc set as the cache, recently apc caused an issue with cPanel, cPanel techs disabled apc and I can now access cPanel, however I cannot access my forum either front end or admincp I get this error Fatal error: APC not installed in [path]/includes/class_datastore.php on line 386

I have disabled hooks in /includes/config.php but that hasn't changed a thing, I've even tried different browsers and get the same error.

What do I need to do to get this removed from database...etc in order to get my forum back?

[DragonByte Tech]

Add

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


to your config.php file beneath <?php, then alter the vBOptimise setting to Filecache, then remove the config.php file edit.


Fillip

[Simon Lloyd]

As I stated in my post disabling hooks in config.php did not allow me in!

[DragonByte Tech]

Then disable APC from the Filecache option further down in the config.php
