[DBTech] vB Optimise 2.0.1 (Lite) · **Released**: 12-18-2008

vB Optimise Lite

The newly revamped vB Optimise was created for vBulletin 4, but has now been made compatible for vBulletin 3.8. In this release I have re-coded vB Optimise from the gound and focused stability over features, you'll notice Phrase Caching and vBAdvanced Integration have bit the dust, this is to maintain a sync state between this version and the vBulletin 4 release.

Professional version & feature list available @ www.DragonByte-Tech.com/forum
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:

Features

Supported Extensions
- APC
- eAccelerator
- Memcache
- XCache
- WinCache
- Filecache
Style Cacher
Caches style data to globally reduce a query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Template Cacher
Caches template data to globally reduce a query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Datastore Cacher
Forces custom datastore items from modifications (including those from vB's blogs) to use your configured Datastore Cache method instead of being forced into the database. This reduces page queries by where affected.
vB CMS Template Caching
(Automatic) Corrects many uncached templates within vB CMS to reduce upto 20+ queries on CMS pages (number varies based on content).
Optimal Settings Check
Provides a quick interface to identify possible settings which can be changed on your forum for further optimisation.
Self-System Tester
Provides a relatively straight-forward system check to ensure your vB Optimise installation works fully.
Automatic Cache Flusher
Automatically flushes cache within the Admin CP based on specific triggers to make sure content does not remain stale on your forum.
XCache Authentification
Supports XCache Admin Authentification by allowing you specify the username/password in a configuration if needs be.

Features - Pro

Notices Cacher
Caches users dismissed notices to reduce a near-global query within all vBulletin forum-based pages.
Showgroups Cacher
Caches the showgroups query which becomes more intensive as your user-base grows.
Forum Display Query Enhancement
Enhances a stock vBulletin query within Forum Display to speed up the page.
Forum Home WOL Cache
Caches Forum Home "Who's Online" to remove an intensive query and allow larger sites to display this data without impact.
vB Cache Override (Feature not available on vBulletin 3)
Ability to override vBulletins new built-in database cacher for the CMS / Forum Sidebar Blocks to remove anything from 1 to 20+ queries based on your content.
Full Guest Caching
Ability to cache entire pages and serve them saving not only hundreds of queries but upto 90% of CPU processing towards Guests.
Statistical Resource Savings
Ability to see just exactly how many queries per day vB Optimise has saved your database. You'll be surprised at the numbers.
Forum Resource Statistic
Shows off vB Optimise resource saving statistics directly within forumhome statistics.
....and more!

Release Notes

If you've used vB Optimise before you'll be aware the previous version had phrase caching, however this caused complications with the way phrases are used within vBulletin so it has not been ported over at this time.

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:

Code:

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)

my hosts installed it, I believe they actually reinstalled it again because of these problems. I'm on a VPS.

Hi,

Today I installed an old addon (developed for 3.5.4)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113042

This addon shows the random 5 games in the forumhome from the ipbarcade.
This is working fine and you can see it on http://www.nepalhub.com/ , top part, below notices and above the welcome box.

The thing is, this disappears if I turn ON vboptimize, and works only when I turn it off {Its Off now}

What can I do and how do I solve it? vboptimize was working perfectly, and I need this too.

Can you describe exactly the step you took to end up having blank pages...?

I can try to help you guys out

The hack was working fine for me until I upgraded our Vbulletin forum from 3.8.0 to 3.8.1. After that, it started making forumdisplay.php a blank page. Everything else was still working ok apart from this page, and disabling this hack fixed the blank page issue - although it took me a while to work out what the cause was.

No other changes were made (ie. new hacks added/removed etc) which would have resulted in this problem - it was definitely the VB upgrade that did it.

Does this work with vBSEO, is there any issue with any modifications, and are there any success stories?

Switch02 · #**857** 02-27-2009, 03:28 PM

I used this mod for about an month (since 3.8 upgrade) and everthing went smooth until last week.
After a period of time (mostly 3 days or so), the content didn't show up anymore.
Only the header and footer are visible.

I'm using:
vbulletin 3.8.1
vbadvanced cmps 3.1.0
kernel 2.6.18-5-686 smp
nginx 0.7.38
php 5.2.8 with php-fpm 0.5.10, suhosin patch 0.9.6, suhosin extension 0.9.27 and xcache 1.2.2

Im now using a workaround-cron to restart php-fpm every night.

briansol · #**860** 03-02-2009, 09:27 PM

yes, this works with vbseo. In fact, you can use vbseo to use xcache/etc along side of this. just be sure to edit config_vbseo.php and set your storage header to a unique prefix for every site you have (default is vbseo_storage, change to siteXXX_vbseo_storage).

To the guy with e-accelerator problems, go back 2 pages and read my last post in this thread. you need to compile eaccelerator with the get and put functions. Installing alone will NOT enable the needed functions.

I've had this on for over a month now on 5 different sites ranging from 3.7.2 to 3.8.1 with no issues, and a TON of var data which has saved me 131,534,789 database queries.

I just installed this mod and it crashed my site. I cannot get back into the cp to uninstall. Is there any way to do it via ftp?

All I get is white screen now.
