Speed up your Board /caching

[ragtek]

Zend Framework which is used in XenForo brings great Caching Methods with it.
To see all available caching methods, check = http://framework.zend.com/manual/de/zend.cache.backends.html

For example:
To activate Memcached Support add

$config['cache']['enabled'] = true;
$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions'] = array('caching'   =>  true,
                                            'automatic_serialization' => true,
                                            'lifetime'    => 1800
);
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
    'backendOptions'=>array(
            'servers' =>array(
                            array(
                                'host' => 'localhost', // your memcached server ip /address
                                'port' => 11211        // memcached port
                            )
                        ),
             'compression' => false
     )
);

to your config.php


Edit:
For Filecache you can use something like:

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

$config['cache']['backend'] = 'File';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array('cache_dir'  => 'D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\xf\upload\library\cache');



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

I get this when adding the obove to my config.php file, any idea why?

An unexpected exception occurred.

 

[ragtek]

What did you add to your config.php?

 

[Deleted member 745]

added this to my config, like this.

For example:
To activate Memcached Support add

$config['cache']['frontend'] = 'Core';
$config['cache']['frontendOptions'] = array('caching'   =>  true,
                                            'automatic_serialization' => true,
                                            'lifetime'    => 1800
);
$config['cache']['backend'] = 'Memcached';
$config['cache']['backendOptions'] = array(
    'backendOptions'=>array(
            'servers' =>array(
                            array(
                                'host' => 'localhost', // your memcached server ip /address
                                'port' => 11211        // memcached port
                            )
                        ),
             'compression' => false
     )
);

Have you memcached installed?
Does the filecache work for you?

 

[Deleted member 745]

Yep, I get the same show with that as well. If I make a phpinfo file and search for mem or memcache it cant find it. I'm guessing it's not installed?

Is memcache worth installing if I have a small forum?

 

[dmnkhhn]

The Filecache works like a charm.

If you have a VPS you might as well install it, even if it's small, get ready for when you grow.

 

[Pyro]

There's also alternatives like APC, xcache etc. APC will probably be included in the PHP core when PHP 6 comes around, so that's what I've been using.

I'd use something like APC if you just have a single VPS, and memcached if you're looking to setup some sort of load-balanced distributed solution.

I installed memcache on my VPS but it keeps saying this and it don't show its loaded in a phpinfo file.

how about xCache?

 

[Milad Kawas Cale]

I have eAccelerator installed on my server, any advice?

It seems, that you didn't install it
Have you added the needed infos into your php.ini?

 

[ragtek]

Just check http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.cache.backends.html

I use cpanel so I installed it aparently using EasyApache but it dont show on the phpinfo file for some reason.

Dave,
run this command : php -i | grep memcache

If it's installed you will get the ports, configuration and so on ....

What linux distro are you running ? there are easier ways but it depends on what you're running ...

 

[Shamil]

It's a shame ZF doesn't officially support WinCache at the moment.

 

[Nonstopname]

ragtek from your opinion, as for xenforo, which is the best memcached or xcache ?

 

[Deceptor]

Thanks for the info Ragtek

 

[Shamil]

It depends. For multi-server and load-balancing setup, try memcached. For a single server try XCache or APC.
