Speed up phpbb forum?

[Draka]

Hi.

Anyone here that have enabled memcache, litespeed or redis with phpbb2 or phpbb3 forum?

[Draka]

Phpbb 3.2.2 have been released.

Anyone knows how to enable memcached for it?

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2453381

As a minor feature addition, phpBB now also supports Memcached caching.

 

Is there a connection between memcached in php 7.2 and the one in application manager?

[Draka]

Added this is phpp config.php

 

$acm_type = 'memcached';

define('PHPBB_ACM_MEMCACHED_HOST', 'unix:///home/username/.applicationmanager/memcached.sock');
define('PHPBB_ACM_MEMCACHED_PORT', 0);

 

But how do I know if memcached is working? The memcached.sock is zero bytes.

All the application manager does is launch a Memcached server it does not change your PHP extensions.  So if your PHP 7.2 does not have memcached extension enabled then you need to enable it.

The socket is going to be 0 bytes as it's not storing data on the socket but in memory.  The way you'd test if it's working is actually checking if there is data in the memcached server meaning you'd need to use PHP/Perl/Ruby/Python etc. to do that.  Also most applications if it's not working tell you or even just get really slow.

Thanks.

I searched google for a test script but I didn´t quite understand it...

Do you have a small php script I could test it with? Or maybe enter the code here and I paste it into a test.php

Changed back to standard phpbb cache. The site got 3 times faster.

Here's a basic example change username portion with your username.  It should state it's adding the test key refresh it then it should say it's a test variable testing Memcached.

<?php
$memcached = new Memcached();
$memcached->addServer("/home/username/.applicationmanager/memcached.sock",0);
$response = $memcached->get("test");
if ($response)
{
    echo $response;
}
else
{
    echo "Adding test key to Memcached";
    $memcached->set("test","This is a test variable testing Memcached");
}
