Hi all.

I've noticed that many people don't verify which version of MySQL they have. Well this is really important for optimizing your Icy Phoenix.

Especially people who installed their boards years ago... I'm sure they are still running with Icy Phoenix configured for MySQL while they have MySQL 4 or above.

So what you should do to enhance the performance of your Icy Phoenix?

  • Check your MySQL version: what is important is just if it is version 4 or above
  • Download your config.php
  • Open it and check this var:
    Code: [Hide] [Select]
    $dbms

  • If you have MySQL 4 or above, that var should look like this:
    Code: [Hide] [Select]
    $dbms = 'mysql4';

  • Otherwise it should be:
    Code: [Hide] [Select]
    $dbms = 'mysql';


Please note that this is really important for your Icy Phoenix to run correctly... because in last versions I've optimized particularly the MySQL 4 or above version and you will notice some improvements if your config.php is configured properly.

Go immediately to check this.
