Optimizing VBulletin for a VPS – part 1.5
I have modified my VBulletin config file and enabled the use of APC as a VBulletin datastore. Smokeping is now reporting latency of 90-95ms. Not an immediately noticeable improvement but the average load on the server is 0.00 0.00 0.00 even with 100,000 hits per day. The performance improvements should be more measurable as the load increases.
To configure APC as a VBulletin datastore I simply uncommented the following line from includes/config.php:
$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_APC';
