Is this recommended to do ?? how it helps ??

[mariocaz]

Hi guys,

Please help me, I want to know if this step-tip is very useful and recomended to do it in the forum ??, and how it helps ???


* vB_Datastore_Filecache: You may use the file system to cache your Datastore and improve performance. To do this Open your config.php file in your includes folder and find:

// $config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

and simply remove the two

//

to leave it like this

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

to enable Filesystem caching of your datastore. Make sure that you have /includes/datastore/datastore_cache.php set to 777 so that it may write to the file.

I have a little fear to do it!!! what do u think ??, I am in a shared hosting, if this help?

Only I have to edit that part in the config.php and then change permission to 777 to that folder and that is all ???, but I don?t know what could happen if I do it ? and if its recommended to do it or not ?

I want to do it to optimize my forum, because I am having problems with my host because my forum is consuming a lot of resources in the server, so I am looking tips like this one to improve and optimize my forum at maximum, what else you could recommend me ?

Thank you so much in advance for all your awesome help in this!

Filecache will reduce load on mysql and is worth doing.

so it´s recommended ?? I am in a shared hosting.

Even I am on a shared hosting, but my host has installed xcache for me. I hope you already have it, or maybe don't. Using xcache will have a better performance than filecache

$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_XCache';

Cpanel comes with eaccelerator as an install and hosts do sometimes run this. If they enabled it you would be able to put your datastore there.

You can ask your host if they have any of these otherwise just enable file cache.

Thank you guys,

Ok I will ask to my hosting to install XCache in the server and to enable it in my forum what I have to do ?

To enable XCache datastore caching, just replace "Filecache" with "XCache".

[mariocaz]

Perfect.

thanx

[veenuisthebest]

Also if you enable xcache, do not forget to give a xcache datastore prefix in config.php, its quite important in shared environment atleast.
