Hello Raven great site by the way..

I'm looking for information on cache lite and just how do l install it and where can l get it,

We have Nuke 7.2 installed and are looking to increase its speed and load times.

So any other tips to speed up the site would also be appreciated as well.

Our site has a total of 50 to 90 members online at all times and 150 visitors and we have noticed a drastic slow down on page loading sence the amoutn of traffic has encreased.

Any help you could provide would be highley appreciated.

Thanks XtraX Smile

Quick question it says to extract it into the includes folder ? do l leave Cache Lite in the folder it created when extracting it and upload it that way into the includes folder or do l upload the contents of Cache_lite into includes so just the files them selves

Ok l need a little help l e-mailed chatserv as well, Its been awhile sence l did any udates to my heavily modified Nuke 7.2 and l was wondering where l can get the list of files and updates to make to my nuke 7.2 ..?

So l can secure it from SQL injections as l will have to manully update each file so l dont loose any changes made..

Wait until I release the Cache Lite control panel I'm writing Smile

I think the directions are easy to follow. I tried to do 4 blocks and had zero successes. The last one (block survey) finally gave me something - an error code:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: voteresults() in /home/xxxx/html/blocks/block-Survey.php on line 69

Any thoughts to put me back on track?

Post your code here and l will help you what code did you include in your blocks ?
and make sure to include the full path to the tmp file and make sure you created a Cache_Lite folder inside the tmp file and set permissions on it to 775 so it has read and write access..

Code:

<?php





if (eregi("block-ScrollingSentinel.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}


// include the Cache-Lite package


require_once("includes/Cache_Lite/Lite.php");


// set some variables


$options = array(


  "cacheDir" => "/tmp/Cache_Lite/",


  "lifeTime" => 900


);


// create a Cache_Lite object


$objCache = new Cache_Lite($options);


// test if there exists a valid cache,


// the ID will be the basename of the block


$fileid = basename($blockfile,".php");


if ($content = $objCache->get($fileid)) {


// add a message indicating this is cached output


  $content .= "\n[cached with ID=$fileid]";


}


else


{


// do the block's work here...





global $prefix, $db, $user, $admin, $ab_config;


$usemarquee = 1;


$scrolldirection = "Down";


$content = "";


$content .= "<table border=1><tr><td ALIGN=\"center\" VALIGN=\"top\"> This is the list of Sentinel banned IP addresses. </td></tr></table><hr>\n";


$content .= "<Marquee Behavior=\"Scroll\" Direction=\"$scrolldirection\" Height=\"150\" ScrollAmount=\"1\" ScrollDelay=\"75\" onMouseOver=\"this.stop()\" onMouseOut=\"this.start()\"><br>";


$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT ip_addr, reason FROM $prefix"._nsnst_blocked_ips." ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 30");


while (list($ip_addr, $ip_reason) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


  if((is_admin($admin) AND $ab_config['display_link']==1) OR ((is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin)) AND $ab_config['display_link']==2) OR $ab_config['display_link']==3) {


    $lookupip = str_replace("*", "0", $ip_addr);


    $content .= "<b><big>&middot;</big></b>&nbsp;<a href=\"".$ab_config['lookup_link']."$lookupip\" target=\"_blank\">$ip_addr</a>\n";


  } else {


    $content .= "<b><big>&middot;</big></b>&nbsp;$ip_addr\n";


  }


  if((is_admin($admin) AND $ab_config['display_reason']==1) OR ((is_user($user) OR is_admin($admin)) AND $ab_config['display_reason']==2) OR $ab_config['display_reason']==3) {

// ...and save it in the cache for future use


$objCache->save($content, $fileid);


}





?>

First you need to set the full path to your tmp/Cache_Lite file

Example: Mine is this!

Quote:

/home/virtual/site13/fst/var/tmp/Cache_Lite/

Mine is not located in the root folder for better security and this has to be done on every block second thing

Make sure the file is actually located in the path you specified

/tmp/Cache_Lite/

If your not sure what the direct path to the file is located on your server create a php file call it whatever you want example

123.php as you dont want others seeing this information and put this tag inside it

Code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then use your browser to directly go to the file

http://you site.com/123.php

that will give you the full path ..

Once you do get cache lite working it will also put an input line on the block itself viewable to you or anyone else letting you know it was cached ..

to remove this from the block comment out this line in the block file

// $content .= "\n[cached with ID=$fileid]";

Hope this helps

Steve,

If you don't already have a tmp folder in your root nuke folder, create one. Then in the tmp folder create a folder called Cache_Lite. Now, when you specify
"cacheDir" => "tmp/Cache_Lite/" do NOT use a preceeding /. So, your top code in your block should look like this

Code:

require_once("includes/Cache_Lite/Lite.php");


// set some variables


$options = array(


  "cacheDir" => "tmp/Cache_Lite/",


  "lifeTime" => 3600


);

Note that I have moved my Lite.php file, but you should get the idea.

Hey Raven, I been using Cache Lite for a few weeks now. Caching blocks works great. My question is how would I use Cache Lite to cache whole pages? Would this be done in the same manner as a block?

Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 2:28 pm

Here is the block code I am using:

Code:

<?php





/********************************************************/


/* Hacker Beware center block        (SQL Programing)   */


/* By: Stephen2417 (Orignal Code) &    xfsunolesphp     */


/* http://stephen2417.com          http://xfsunoles.com */


/* Copyright Â© 2004 by Stephen2417 & xfsunolesphp       */


/********************************************************/





if (eregi("block-Hacker_Beware2.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}


// include the Cache-Lite package


require_once("includes/Cache_Lite/Lite.php");


// set some variables


$options = array(


  "cacheDir" => "tmp/Cache_Lite/",


  "lifeTime" => 900


);


// create a Cache_Lite object


$objCache = new Cache_Lite($options);


// test if there exists a valid cache,


// the ID will be the basename of the block


$fileid = basename($blockfile,".php");


if ($content = $objCache->get($fileid)) {


// add a message indicating this is cached output


  $content .= "\n[cached with ID=$fileid]";


}


else


{


// do the block's work here...








global $db, $prefix, $ab_config;


$total_ips = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_nsnst_blocked_ips" ));


if(!$total_ips) { $total_ips = 0; }


$content  = "<center><img src=\"images/sentinel/Sentinel_Medium.png\" alt=\"You have been warned!\" title=\"You have been warned!\"><br />We have caught $total_ips shameful hackers.</center>";


$content .= "<hr><center><a href=\"http://www.nukescripts.net\">"._AB_NUKESENTINEL." ".$ab_config['version_number']."</a></center>\n";





// ...and save it in the cache for future use


  $objCache->save($content, $fileid);


}





?>

and here is the error I get:

Code:

Warning: main(includes/Cache_Lite/Lite.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xx/public_html/blocks/block-Hacker_Beware2.php on line 15





Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/Cache_Lite/Lite.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xx/public_html/blocks/block-Hacker_Beware2.php on line 15

Steve,

Make sure that you have copied Lite.php from the Lite folder into the Cache_Lite folder.

Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:39 pm

Just for kicks try placing a copy of PEAR.php in your root directory.

Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2004 9:06 am

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had PEAR.php in the root folder since I started. I even replaced it once to make sure it was corrupted. I think the problem lies in another direction entirely. Thanks, Steve

Have you tried playing with the permissions on that directory?

Have you done this?

Will there be any possibility of making this control panel work with CPG-Nuke Raven?

Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2004 11:54 am

I know nothing of the internals of CGPNuke. I'm sure it is possible but I will have to look into it.

Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2004 12:06 pm

Yes, Raven, I copied the Lite.php to the cache_lite folder and then placed it into includes.

So after all this, besides a speed difference is there a way I can tell its working? I dont see anything in the tmp directory except for the Cache_Lite directory and nothing is contained in it.
