Sphinx Search Engine for vBulletin 4

Sphinx search engine is a free search engine software that supports MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. Sphinx can work on normal script, and vBulletin too.
Why sphinx? With fully configured sphinx search engine, your script can search on large amount of data very very quickly, like a speed of light compared with normal way.

On vBulletin 4, rebuilding search index takes very long time especially if you have lot of posts (more than one million) on your forum. My forum has about 1,5 million of posts. And to rebuild search index of about 10,000 posts, it can take hours. So to rebuild search index of 1,5 million posts, it takes days.
Because rebuilding search index was a painful process for my forum, i was thinking to use sphinx search engine for my vBulletin forum.

So first important point is : if your forum has lot of posts, you’d better to use Sphinx. But if your forum has small amount of posts, you do not need Sphinx search engine.

AioShared.com Stole My Script, AioShared Scammer

I have a domain appraisal script here
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1776537

I sold it to a person (fortunately there was only one buyer), next someone told me that Aioshared.com stole our script and resell it.
Plus, they ioncubed it.

What a shame that someone scrap other’s script, encode, and resold it as “Website Value Calculator” script.
Here is my original demo
http://www.perfectbot.com/ (site is closed now, you can check on google cache)

Even i’ve tried to create a thread on their forum that “The script is stolen”

http://www.forum.aioshared.com/website-value-calculator/

But guess what happened next? Yes, they deleted my thread.

Watchout for this “company”.

And it seems aioshared’s owner is on DigitalPoint too

With or Without WWW

Folks, some of you have might have a website. For example you develop http://www.google.com (OF COURSE this is just an example Gambar With or Without WWW Image ). You might have a question, whether use http://google.com (w/o “www”), or http://www.google.com (w/ “www”). I don’t suggest that “www” is better, vice versa. But i’ll tell it about how to use with only, or without only.

The key is, you must create a .htaccess file in your root directory (or modify the old one if you’ve had it)

If you choose with www, use it in your .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

</IfModule>
