IPB Forum

Darryl Whitworth
MemberI would like to know how to setup an IPB forum that meets all of Invisions requirements including rewrites etc. as it pertains to the VPS server tutorial on VPSBible. It's actually the main reason I joined and it doesn't look as if the necessary info is here. If it is I would appreciate being directed to it.
Thanks

Hi Darryl,
Nothing here on IPB yet .. have you got rewrites problems?

MemberActually the only issue I had and it was a big one was I couldn't upload through the gallery or forum. I watched an attached image in a forum post get to about 600k and then fail giving an i/o error according to the forum. I checked all the usual culprits such as permissions, paths, and anything else I could think of. I fired up the forum on the old host again and everything was fine. I will say the the forum was like a rocket. Too bad I couldn't get it to completely work.

MemberThe rewrites aren't an issue if you turn off a few settings in IPB before you move the site. You lose the functionality of the htaccess file but the forum and other attached modules will work without it. I know you can do something comparable with Nginx but I wanted to see if I could get everything else working first.

"couldn't upload through the gallery or forum"
www-data:www-data needs permissions.
"get to about 600k and then fail"
check in your php.ini (likely /etc/php5 ..):-
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 2Muncommented .. no ; before directives and maybe increase the filesize, but no more than necessary for security.
htaccess/rewrites is all done in the virtual host with nginx, (as it can be in apache if you've got the access.)

MemberMake sure you have chown'd the upload folder as said above, plus the upload limit.
I have IPB working fine on two VPS with Nginx.
Plus on one I have managed to use Amazon S3 to overcome the 16GB disk limitation, serves fles from Gallery and Download Manager now :)
