I installed a vBulletin forum with e-mail validation on a dedicated I setup. The same board worked when I used to have shared hosting, however now when someone signs up some of the time they do not get an e-mail.

I will be moving my vBulletin forums to a new dedicated server soon. I have been looking around for a suitable server specs, and I would like to ask you the following questions:
1- If I have the option to maximize one of the following only: the Processor, The Memory, or The Hard Disk. Which one should I go for?
2- Are there any certain settings that I can change in my server environment to get maximum performance for my forums?
3- Do you recommend a certain provider for dedicated servers? Which? And Why?
The goal is to maximize the performance of my 500 Online users vBulletin forums.
i run vbulletin, and set it to send out confirmation e-mail after registration, but for some reason mail doesn't send out to the user it stay in mail queue for days after days until i delete it.

All my ips are stored on the same root ip, i am moving one of my forums from the default IP to a separate IP. I populated the DNS and my webite shows up properly on the new IP, but my forum is comming up as a database error.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem? Or tools I can run? Or is it merely not connecting to the database yet, because of some name server or other issue?
My site has outgrown my current host and I'm strongly leaning towards a vps. I am relatively inexperienced with web hosting as for the last 18 months I've had very few issues with my current host (Stream101.com). They are currently saying my site is very memory and processor intensive which is why I'm going to have to leave them soon(I can't pay the dedicated server prices that would give my site the stability I desire).
About my site:
My site has 18,000+ users, its about 18 months old. 5,632 threads, 78,967 posts. It used about 150gig of bandwidth last month. The site is growing quickly (IMO). The site makes some money, but not enough to justify spending what it would cost for a dedicated server.
I'm happy to provide any other information, but what I am looking for is suggestions on:
1) Is a VPS the right choice for my site in your opinion.
2) What hosting company's would you suggest I look into.
3) How much ram/processor speed should I be looking for
4) any other information you feel I should know about this.
I installed Team plus this vbulletin mod integrated into my vbulletin database
[url]
I'm getting the below error when attempting to connect to my TS:
[17:46:38] No reply from server
Maybe the server is offline
or maybe teamspeak is not running on it
However, the server is running on PID 2967
In CSF firewall, I have these enabled
TCP_IN = 8767,51234,14534
TCP_OUT = 8767,51234,14534
I tried the main server IP and even the IP that the domain is hosted on.
For http port, I also tried 80 default. I have no idea what goes in "server id" anyway.
I am on a VPS with Centos 4 OS and Cpanel/WHM.
I am going to soon be upgrading to the latest version of vBulletin (3.7.0). They are recommending PHP 5.25 with APC installed. I am talled that Zend (which I have installed and eaccelerator) is not compatible with APC.
The vBulletin people say that APC will perform better than Zend, and that zend should be disabled and APC installed and enabled.
A couple questions.
1. I'm curious what people's opinions are on here about APC vs. Zend (eaccellerator) or possibly xcache.
2. I have once been told that APC and xcache aren't compatible with Cpanel/WHM. Is this correct?
3. Assuming 2 isn't correct, if I decide to move to APC, what do I need to do to disable/uninstall Zend/Eaccellerator and install/setup APC?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have the max vars and all that set right to conform to vbulletin, Only problem is now I keep getting this in /var/log/messages
suhosin[8569]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 4294967295 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker '*******', file '/home/user/public_html/includes/class_xml.php', line 35)
The line its pertaining to is @ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
I'm pretty sure its not blocking anything, least nothing I see but it does this everytime someone accesses certain pages on a forum.
My memory_limit for php is 60 mb, I checked out different ways of configuring it, but the only thing I think would stop the alerts is setting the suhosin memory limit to 4 gb, as it says the script is calling for that. But I suppose if there was a crappy or malicious php script they would easily be able to ini-set and suck all the memory.
So basically what i want to do is just disable this alert as its filling the messages up. Has anyone dealt with this before?
Anyone here have problem with Mod_Security and VBulletin ? Currently running Apache 1.3.x and Vbulletin 3.6.8 patch 2 and want to install Mod_Security on Apache so I want to know if there any conflict with Mod_Security and Vbulletin.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running about 20 servers with default exim configuration that cpanel
writes on the servers.
One of the servers get a very high load when some of the customers send
mails to
His clients through the VBulletin script.
These mails doesn't exceed 20 thousand mail , and when he sends load goes
very high,
However other servers sends maybe 40 thousand mails without a big problem ,
and with same configuration and specification.
What can I do , or where can I work around to decrease the exim consumption
of the load like that.
I' $ve tried queue_only_load=6 but no any benefit :-(
1) From time to time my vbulleting message board loads slow, and at that time the server isn't even at a high load this happen at loads 0.9 nothing much really but always below 4.
2) Not only does it load slow but it often return the server cannot be found error, this minute it works fine and the next minute it doesn't, all i can see from the error log for my domain is
3) php warning: Zend Optimizer for PHP 4.3.x cannot be found (expected at '/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-2.1.0/php-4.3.x/Zendoptimizer.so') - try reinstalling the zend optimizer in Unknown on line 0, referer [url]
4) Does vbulletin relies on zend at all to be fully functional?
5) will zend actualy help at all?
Yes there are other sites on the box and they seem to work fine.

A quick question for those running Vbulletin in Windows. I am running on a shared Windows 2003 server the Open Basedir is not enabled and the Safe Mode is off as per default setting. I can't change it as it is a shared hosting. The upload function is having problem due to the Open Basedir restrictions. Anyway to overcome that? The PHP is running in CGI mode.

I'm on a dedicated server and the httpd service of the server keeps going down which results in downtime for the number of hours until i dont realise that the site is down.
So when I realise the site is down, I ask the hosting support to look into the issue, they tell me the server loads are high and ask me to upgrade even when I just upgraded the server last month.
Generally the forum has around (250 - 300 members) + guests visitors online and is in the alexa top 20k sites.
The first thing I would want to do is hire a person who specializes in server optimization but then I have heard a lot of bad things like the server admin stealing databases and selling it in open market.
The second thing I wanted to do is contact vbulletin for server optimization but they need me to give them server specs and I dont know how to obtain them.
I want to run a SMALL vbulletin forum with a maximum of 500-1000 people.
Is hostingpuppy the right host service for me? they are cheap plus they have good uptime and alot of people love them.
I've been doing some comparing for web hosting and given that my vBulletin.com thread gave me zero input, I thought I'd post here & see what advice I can gain.
I currently have a vBulletin forum hosted through 1&1 Shared Hosting. Huge upcoming problem is 1&1's 100MB MySQL Database size limit, not something that had been factored at the site's launch. The only option 1&1 has provided is an upgrade to one of their VPS servers, starting at $29 a month. The site is currently at only half that limit, around 50MB so I'm taking the time now to figure what to do in the next several months.
I've been open to the idea of simply transferring to another shared host with a larger MySQL database limit (looked at Host Gator that offers 2GB limit) or forking out the extra cash for the VPS and consolidating some of my other websites onto the VPS.
Currently, the forum receives (per month) 2000 unique visitors, 200,000 page views, and about ~40 users online at one time. I really want to know, if I move to another shared host will the CPU usage eventually get my account suspended if site growth picks up? Or would I be better off consolidating various websites onto a single VPS and taking my chances with a 1&1 upgrade?

i upgrade to last version but i still have the same error
i have root access and want to know how i can restrict direct to another server
What is the best way to setup a server for a vbulletin forum with 500-600 concurrent users.
I am torn between going with 1 large box, or a webserver,database server split.
how the admin of the other site can edit the vbulletin archive. The admin tried to edit it but found that she couldn't do that.
No skipping step from step 2 to 5. If you are going from step 2 to 5, you should list step 3 and 4.
how to edit a vbulletin archive.
I have a site which uses vBulletin. After a long story we ended up with the need to restore it's database from a backup.
The backup proccess was in fact copying the database files - .MYD, MYI; so no mysql dumps.
I've recreated the dabase from phpmyadmin and created a standard user wtih read/write permissions and a dba user.
After that I've copied the database files from the backup and when I've tried to launch the site, it gives me the error:
"Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in /includes/class_core.php on line 354"
That's all the output I get.
I've modified the files permission to 755 and changed the owner and group; I've modified the vBulletin file to use the dba user account to access the database... all this without any luck.
I've done some searching and I've found that restoring database .MYI/.MYD files is simple - stop mysql, copy files, set permissions and fire up mysql. I've replicated the steps but still doesn't work.
I am trying to transfer my Vb database to another server but I am getting error.
Here's what I did.
1. I exported my old database to my old server to my PC.
2. I imported my database to my new server (different domain)
Now I cannot continue because different errors occur. Please tell me the correct process to do this.
I have a user who is looking into using Vbulletin but he is currently using Discusware and wants to retain the look and feel of his forum. Anyway this can be done?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI've recently moved a popular forum from one dedicated server to two dedicated servers.
1 server for HTTPD
1 server for MYSQL
The forum is running very slowly, even though server load is low on both servers.
I have tried different mysql optimizations but nothing seems to be working.
Would anyone be willing to help me solve this issue? If so, please PM me. I am happy to pay for your time.
