XF 1.4 Setting up Cache

[Crimson]

Do I only add the following to the config file to set up a cache?

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

Which cache are you planning on using?

I'm not too sure. APC, from the looks of it.

Do I have to inquire with my current host first? I'm with MDD Hosting.

In the end, I just want my forum to load and run smoother without using too much resource.

 

[Crimson]

Anyone?

 

[MattW]

Have you got APC installed on the server?

I'm on shared hosting with MDD.

Should I verify with them?

 

[MattW]

If you are on shared hosting, then it's more than likely not installed, and none of the other caching mechanisms will be either. Only thing you can do is run the File cache.

So just pop this into the config file?

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

 

[MattW]

No, you also need to add the File cache setting in

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

 

[Crimson]

Thanks a bunch, Matt!

So the end product would look like this, right?

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

 

[MattW]

Yes.

There are also some other setting you can adjust if needed as well (such as cache directory)
