whenever someone tries to upload a .jpg image on vBulletin that uses imagemagick it says invalid format or whatever however when I test via shh.

I've barely done any command-line in the past, but I've come into possession of my own dedicated box so I guess now is the time to learn.
Here are a few stats from phpinfo.php:
System Linux s1004.ohtele.com 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jun 25 13:49:24 EDT 2008 i686 (I think it's CentOS)

How can I recompile PHP with proper GD support, because at the moment it can't work with jpeg's or animated gifs at all Are there any tutorials or anything about on this?
For some reason my computer, or any computer in the house won't allow me to upload Jpeg files to any server at all.
I have tried to upload to different servers, even using different computers.
Every other file will upload besides Jpegs. It will upload half the file then stop.
I have also tried using different FTP programs, from Filezilla, to Flash FXP to Cute FTP.
I checked photoshop to see if I might be savign the file wrong but It's Progressive Max Quality files, so the problems not there.
Has this happened ot anyone else before?
i run a vbuletin forum, right now i am on a virtual dedicated
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?
I have root access my friend told me it's a problem with apache or something. Anyone have any idea how I can solve this?
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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?
that my vbulletin forum redirect to another site
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.
Hello,
Lunarpages and jerked me around enough times that I'm considering other options. I won't go into too many details, but they recently moved me to a new server that was configured completely different and my forum ended up being down for 4 days. During that time, their support was non-existent. Now, they keep sending me emails that I'm exceeding my alloted CPU usage. They want me to upgrade.
Admittedly, I am using their lower end hosting, which I think I paid $100 for the year or something.
After the way I've been treated, I can't imagine spending another dime at Lunarpages. So I'm looking for new hosting options. My forum is growing, but it certainly isn't a large forum. I have about 30-40 new members join each day and I usually have about 1,000 active members. I'm running vbseo and a few mods, but my unique hits per day is probably around 2,000 uniques per day for the forum give or take. My forum does use quite a bit of bandwidth as people upload songs they have recorded and submit them for review frequently.
I've considered the notion of having a server built for me and paying $100 per month for colocation and being done with it, but I'd prefer to avoid this cost, if possible.
Any suggestions?
i am new to this and am in need of some help.. i have vbulletin 3.5.0 installed with photopost gallery and phpprobid auction...
I am hosted with fasthosts on a linux dedicated server, it is crap! it has been down 3 times in 1 month, the support is terrrible.. I have already movedit from pipex hosting due to lack of support for mysql. i canot keep moving my site, my brain will melt out of my ears ...
Can i link to my original install.. so if the fasthost server goes down,, could i have it directed to the old server? and can i keep the 2 databases current?
Hope i have explained it well enough... basically need a backup server setup for my vbulletin so, i dont lose potential new members..
I am the owner of the vbulletin forum. The forum is young but it is growing rapidly. It has 11000 posts, 800 members and about 30 users online. I use many mods which are server intensive.
I was on a semi-dedicated hosting (Westnic), which I shared with my friend to reduce the costs. Now I feel I should move on, because this package is becoming too small for both of us.
I wanted to upgrade my hosting package to a bigger one, but now when I have read so many horrible stories about this host, I really don't want to stay with Westnic.
So I am looking for a reliable host for my forum.
I am still now sure whether I need a semi-dedicated, VPS or a dedicated server. Also, I am not sure how much dedicated memory a forum like mine would need. Also, I am not sure about the location of the server - does it really matter?
I've noticed that vBulletin and one of my directories is getting hit hard for the same file by sites in the Netherlands, Russia, Vietnam and China.
The lines typically state the same, trying to hit a file that isn't there, which may be in a forum/ or forums/ directory instead of the root.
'/home/mysite/public_html/forumdisplay.php' not found or unable to stat
'/home/mysite/public_html/newthread.php' not found or unable to stat
What have you guys done for this? I'm assuming an .htaccess edit may be in order. I'm also hoping to track IP addresses so that I can keep adding them easily. I wish it was more simple to do it on the server level using whm since it's usually accessible everywhere.
