If you are not experiencing any issues I say leave it alone.

You could get MariaDB up to 10.3. Outside of that everything looks fine.

Is Zend Opcache present? Are you using Memcache or Redis for XF caching?

How would I find out?

How would I find out?

php -m

 

[Sonnie]

Hmmm... here's the list... anything missing?

 

[JonathanW]

Looks solid to me

 

[Sonnie]

Thanks for looking!

I can't believe how much faster the site is with PHP 7... made an immediate difference in speed. It took a hit with the upgrade to XF2... and I was curious as to what was going on... now I know. PHP 7 is important to XF2 in more ways than one.

I would install gmp support so you could have Push Notifications for your users. And as mentioned, MariaDB 10.3 as well (unless you're running something outside of XenForo that might have issues)

 

[JonathanW]

Make sure you've setup caching. https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/cache/

Checking on the gmp now.

Is one caching better than the other?

Ehhh. Redis is hip and trendy right now. You can't go wrong with Redis or Memcached really.

 

[Sonnie]

Got gmp enabled... and I'll check on that Redi or Memcached.

Thanks again!

So I decided to try out Memcached and had the server techs enable it... but when I add the following code to our config.php file, we get nothing but a blank white page on the site:

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['provider'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['config'] = [
    'server' => '127.0.0.1'
];

Try enabling debug mode to see if there's any errors.

 

[Sonnie]

I enabled debug in the config file, but no errors logged.

Maybe we can try Redis and see what happens.

Server techs show these errors today...

I uninstalled iconify, which wasn't working anyway, but still get the blank white page.

We even tried APC and get white pages.

Could you try with PHP 7.2 ?

 

[Sonnie]

Yep... that did it... memcached is working fine now. Doesn't like 7.3.

I'd bet something else is in play. I was working on a XF site earlier today using Memcache with 7.3 without issue.
