By the way, Cpanel has a very nice control panel to let you rebuild apache yourself (it's called easyapache). But that's something to learn down the road. You should very rarely (if ever) have to rebuild unless adding special features. Glad to hear you got it working in the end. eAccelerator and the mysql cache will definitely turn a turtle of a server into a rabbit. clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19097 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:59:06 +0000 clementine 19097@http://bbpress.org/forums/ _ck_ FINALLY I did it...

It will give you a very nice speed boost in bbPress and WordPress. Since your server is very standardized as Cpanel + PHP 4.4.8 I am virtually positive we can get this going. _ck_ on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19054 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:08:42 +0000 _ck_ 19054@http://bbpress.org/forums/ No the zen optimizer is not an opcode cache, it's just another keyhole optimizer. eAccelerator has a keyhole optimizer too but it doesn't hurt anything to use them both. I use them both on PHP4 servers, PHP5 doesn't need it. I think there are possibly THREE (simple) problems. One is a leftover corrupted eaccelerator cache left on your drive from a previous attempt that has to be cleared/deleted first. Two is an old eaccelerator that was built for a different version of PHP, it needs to be rebuilt with that script above. The last possibility might be the extension load order. (you can try disabling the zend optimizer altogether as it's overkill when eaccelerator is running) So: 1. Try deleting your old eaccelerator disk cache first <code>rm -rf /tmp/eaccelerator</code> 2. Go into php.ini and look for the Zend section. It will look something like this but maybe not exactly like this: <pre><code>[Zend] zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.0.1 zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.0.1 zend_optimizer.version=3.0.1 zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so</code></pre> 3. Make sure that Zend section is ABOVE (before) the eAccelerator section. You can also try commenting it all out with semi-colons before each line to disable it entirely. Last but not least, you should also delete the entire eAccerator section in PHP.ini and then run that script above. --------------------------- After thinking about this for awhile, I would put my money on the idea that your eAccelerator was built for an earlier version of PHP and MUST be re-compiled by that script. clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19053 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:03:42 +0000 clementine 19053@http://bbpress.org/forums/ _ck_ now I know why it crashes... i already have the Zen Optimizer installed!!! So i guess i don't need the eAccelerator, right? _ck_ on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19049 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 17:37:25 +0000 _ck_ 19049@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you replaced the semi-colon and it still will not restart, you need to double check for a typo. Failing that, you can try removing all lines starting with <code>eaccelerator.</code> which should be at the very end of the <code>php.ini</code> or just putting semi-colons in front of them. I perhaps should have told you to make a copy of <code>php.ini</code> via <code>cp php.ini php.bak</code> but since it's documented here we should be able too repair it. Actually, that install script probably made a backup of <code>php.ini</code> for you. Update: no unfortunately it does that when it's about to copy and it didn't make it that far. But you may have backup copies from other programs. See what files show up when you do a <code>ls php* -latr</code> clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19048 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 17:14:30 +0000 clementine 19048@http://bbpress.org/forums/ _ck_ , I cannot restart the apache service, so I placed again the semi-colon. What should I do now? This is the error I get: Restarting Apache [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive] _ck_ on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19026 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:38:57 +0000 _ck_ 19026@http://bbpress.org/forums/ OH! You know what my tired eyes missed? Yes, you have the eAccelerator *settings*, BUT it's disabled! Someone disabled it by putting a semi-colon in front of the actual binary: <code>;extension="eaccelerator.so"</code> See that? To enable it, the semi-colon has to be removed, otherwise it's dormant. Now if it wasn't properly installed and the setting were just left in place, then removing the semi-colon may just halt PHP entirely and prevent your apache from working correctly. So try removing the semi-colon, save <code>php.ini</code> and then restart Apache via: <code>service httpd restart</code> If apache doesn't restart, or it does but you can't access web pages, then you need to go put back the semi-colon or remove the eaccelerator section entirely. If apache starts but you can't find an "eaccelerator" section inside <code>phpinfo()</code> then it's not really installed, or installed incorrectly. If that's the case, then you need to remove all the existing eaccelerator lines listed above, and then run that install script again. By the way, if you don't know what <code>phpinfo()</code> is, just make a file called <code>phpinfo.php</code> and put only this line into it: <code><?php phpinfo(); ?></code> and put it somewhere you can access it from the web on your server and then access it via the web. You will definitely see a speed boost when reloading pages once eAccelerator is properly installed and running. _ck_ on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19025 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:30:28 +0000 _ck_ 19025@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I probably made a bad assumption that it was not installed, though it definitely doesn't come by default on a cpanel setup so that's a bit unusual. Strange someone would put eaccelerator on there but not enable the mysql cache. You can look at your phpinfo() to find out if eAccelerator is really installed and active. That eaccelerator compress and compression level is just a waste of cpu time. I'd either set <code>eaccelerator.compress="0"</code> or <code>eaccelerator.compress_level="1"</code> By the way, the php configuration is located in <code>/usr/local/lib/php.ini</code> and the eAccelerator options are at the very bottom of the file if you ever have to manually edit them. clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19022 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:05:26 +0000 clementine 19022@http://bbpress.org/forums/ _ck_ I'm getting this error, I guess it's already installed? ;extension="eaccelerator.so" eaccelerator.shm_size="16" eaccelerator.cache_dir="/tmp/eaccelerator" eaccelerator.enable="1" eaccelerator.optimizer="1" eaccelerator.check_mtime="1" eaccelerator.debug="0" eaccelerator.filter="" eaccelerator.shm_max="0" eaccelerator.shm_ttl="0" eaccelerator.shm_prune_period="0" eaccelerator.shm_only="0" eaccelerator.compress="1" eaccelerator.compress_level="9" ABORT: Please uninstall any existing instance of eAccelerator. <a href="mailto:root@node2">root@node2</a> [~]# clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-19021 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:52:51 +0000 clementine 19021@http://bbpress.org/forums/ _ck_ I don't want to say it too loud, but Ithink ITS WORKING....

Let me know how the MySQL cache mod goes. If you don't want to wait and feel comfortable trying it right away, try downloading and using this script to auto-install eAccelerator on Cpanel: <pre><code>wget <a href="http://tutorials.medialayer.com/cPanel/eaccelerator.sh" rel="nofollow">http://tutorials.medialayer.com/cPanel/eaccelerator.sh</a> chmod 700 eaccelerator.sh ./eaccelerator.sh</code></pre> Once it is done, you might have to restart apache <code>service httpd restart</code> and you should definitely notice another speed boost. _ck_ on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-18986 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:03:51 +0000 _ck_ 18986@http://bbpress.org/forums/ No, if you have bbpress and wordpress integrated, and you are with bbPress 0.9, you should stick with WordPress 2.5 because that's the only version that works with bbPress 0.9 There is nothing wrong with WP 2.5 and no need to upgrade to 2.6, because if you do, you'll need bbPress 1.0 alpha which is unstable and has bugs. clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-18985 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:12:21 +0000 clementine 18985@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Done!!!!

It's also important if you don't have alot of overhead like cpanel running. #1 problem on most small VPS is you either don't have the mysql cache turned on or it's too small of a cache #2 problem is you almost certainly don't have a PHP opcode cache like eAccelerator installed #3 problem on almost all VPS is bad neighbors. On a shared host, you can easily tell when you have bad neighbors who are overloading the server (node). On a VPS they are hidden. If you have an inexperienced host, they may have a hard time tracking down the offender, or may not even care. If they tell you that your neighbors can't affect you, that's an outright lie or plain ignorance. If you are running bbPress 1.0 alpha it has several problems generating far too many mysql queries and that could be causing you some headaches. If you are using bbPress 0.9, definitely stick with that, but you need to fine tune your settings. WordPress has some nice caching plugins like wp-super-cache. No such creature exists yet for bbPress, so all pages must be rendered each time by the engine, making it use more overhead than WordPress. clementine on "Server Overload" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/server-overload#post-18926 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:35:53 +0000 clementine 18926@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi.

And I dont know why it is lowercase for my .htaccess file. It may reason from a previous bbpress rewrite-rules.php or not. I dont know, and I also could not figure out that difference. I also tried to rename wordpress' .htaccess file to check whether it creates a problem or not. When I do that, I get my website working for root and all wordpress pages are not reachable. Forum is the same. So I get an idea, is there any problem with the server or apache for reading the .htaccess file located on /forum folder. Is there any option on apache, or somewhere on the server to read or not to read the .htaccess files on subfolders? And I contacted to technical stuff of hosting company, and he asked for the apache version where I was using my site with no problem. It was Apache 1.3 , and this vps has Apache 2. So he said he will try it with apache 1.3 to check whether it is working or not. UPDATE: I added a rewrite rule to .htaccess file on /forum folder to check whether it works for a simple redirect or not. And it worked for: Redirect /forum/a/ <a href="http://www.domain.com/b/" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com/b/</a> _ck_ on "Pretty Permalinks on Debian VPS Server" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-on-debian-vps-server#post-15120 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:30:11 +0000 _ck_ 15120@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Your bbpress htaccess in /forum/ looks fine EXCEPT for what I hope is just a manual typo <code><ifmodule mod_rewrite.c></code> case matters in htaccess if I recall correctly It should be <code><IfModule mod_rewrite.c></code> note the IfModule (eta: the apache manual does say "Directives in the configuration files are case-insensitive" but give it a shot anyway - bbPress doesn't generate it like that so I am not sure why it's lower case in your setup?) If changing that does nothing, the htaccess in the webroot that runs wordpress is also bit messy and my bet would be it's got rules conflicting with bbpress's Is your site active or can you temporarily rename/delete the htaccess in the webroot and see if suddenly the bbpress slugs start working correctly?

If you are using the <code>bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php</code> in your htaccess and you have slugs turned on and it doesn't work, then I would bet that you have another mod_rewrite rule somewhere that is conflicting, either in the same htaccess file or in a directory above it. Do NOT use multiviews. I cannot help you if you are using multiviews. I need much more information, like your htaccess file, and any htaccess file in directories above your forum. Is bbpress running in /forums/ or in the webroot (ie. / ) Also are you running wordpress at the exact same time as bbpress? I don't mean standalone integration, I mean loading within each other. Because I am not sure how that would be handled and I never recommend it. serimu on "Pretty Permalinks on Debian VPS Server" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-on-debian-vps-server#post-15105 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:06:12 +0000 serimu 15105@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I had godaddy hosting when I was setting up this forum. And it did not worked for permalinks. I moved to another shared hosting, and it worked. Now my website gets more traffic and I moved to a vps. But although I can change every setting on my vps, I dont know what to do. And technical stuff also did not know anything about the problem. I used mod_rewrite rules in my previous hosting, and I use it for now, but it does not work. Forum is opening, but links are not working. On godaddy, the mod_rewrite was also working for wordpress, and it also works for my vps. I think bbpress has some problem with those rewrite rules. Do I have to move back to shared hosting, which I dont want to do so, after I saw how fast my website is on a vps. _ck_ on "Pretty Permalinks on Debian VPS Server" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pretty-permalinks-on-debian-vps-server#post-15009 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:40:10 +0000 _ck_ 15009@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Don't use multiviews, it's slower and unpredictable. Always try to use real mod_rewrite rules when possible instead.
