Caching

[Hristo Avramov]

I want to move to VPS and install apc cache. I found in this thread how to enable it https://xenforo.com/community/threads/tip-use-apc.6456/

My questions are:
1. I have this code in the config.php that enables simple caching, should I remove it?

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'File';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array('cache_dir'  => '/home2/morethb8/public_html/bettingforum/internal_data/cache');

$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions'] = array('caching'  =>  true,
                                            'automatic_serialization' => true,
                                            'lifetime'    => 1800
);

2: I also have mods for caching- xen cache and bd-cache. Should I disable some of them too or no?

Can you at least tell me if I need to remove the simple filecache if I installed apc ?

Firstly, remove either xen cache or bd cache, they do the same thing. Either one is fine alongside APC though.
You also need the following in your config.php at least,

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

Thank you,

what about this
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'File';

Should I remove it ?

Yes, as that will store the cached files into the file system, rather than using the specified cache (Apc / Xcache etc)

Thank you, I deleted all other caches, now my cache code looks just like this, is it okay ?

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

 

[MattW]

This was my config.php setup with APC enabled

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions']['cache_id_prefix'] = 'xf_';
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Apc';

 

[Hristo Avramov]

Thank you, I will just use this config

If I have 2 xenforo, do I need ot use other cahe prefix or the same ?

WRONG.
Xen Cache helps both Guest and Members Login.
BD Cache mostly plays for the Guest.
Only the css and defer js thing works for both guest and member.

I looked that up after. There was another addon named xen cache or similar that did the same thing though, can't find it now.

Use a unique prefix for each of the sites.
