Xenforo Fresh CentminMod, what next?

Let's see the things to do, pages to bookmark and threads to watch/subscribe to would be

• Getting Started Guide
• How to install Centmin Mod .07 thread - I update this thread with changes to the .07 series code, updates for security fixes or bugs. So worth bookmarking and watching/subscribing to the thread to be notified of changes. Thread also outlines how to update Centmin Mod via the zip download replacement method. Or if you're familiar with git from command line, check out git command line updating Centmin Mod code.
• Centmin Mod .08 beta thread - same concept, bookmark, watch / subscribe for changes. As .08 is beta alot of updates, changes or fixes get committed to the code. Thread also outlines how to update Centmin Mod via the zip download replacement method. Or if you're familiar with git from command line, check out git command line updating Centmin Mod code.
• How to troubleshoot initial installs (as well as find the log files for all software for troubleshooting).
• Centmin Mod + Youtube Resources - recently created to illustrate visually what Centmin Mod can do. Alot of the vidoes are to showcase Centmin Mod .08 betas features which eventually will become the next stable release.
• All things SSL https related at SSL - HTTPS as a Google ranking signal | Centmin Mod Community
• Centmin Mod Insights forum - delve deeper into Centmin Mod code if you want to tweak it or extend it yourself. Find out how PHP Opcode cachers like APC Cache, Zend Opcache and Xcache are configured and installed and how Memcached server is setup etc.
• Several ways to follow Centmin Mod code development and changes/commits via Github Commit forum or directly on Centmin Mod Github repository - 123.07stable and 123.08centos7beta02 branches
• For forums, also check threads in dedicated Forum Software Usage forums. Some Xenforo users including myself have posted out Nginx vhost configs at Xenforo - My Xenforo Nginx vhost configuration | Centmin Mod Community
• For Nginx Pagespeed check out the official site page for Centmin Mod's integration of ngx_pagespeed module. Also check out the prefix linked forum url https://community.centminmod.com/forums/nginx-php-fpm-mariadb-mysql.21/?prefix_id=8 easy way to jump into all threads and info related to ngx_pagespeed. In particular bookmark the Nginx PageSpeed Troubleshooting sticky thread as there is high chance you need to tweak your Nginx pagespeed.conf config file for your web apps and styles used. You can see an example of this forum's pagespeed.conf tweaked for Xenforo and my particular used Xenforo style/theme and some discussion of troubleshooting advertising and ngx_pagespeed.

 

Getting Started steps are not all requirements (step 1 would be a requirement though) just guidelines of what Centmin Mod user needs to know and do to get the most from their Centmin Mod LEMP setups

For Xenforo config.php and caching outlined at at Defining a Cache | XenForo this is what I use Xenforo - APC or Memcache | Centmin Mod Community

 

Performance change difference really depends on what you had setup before moving to Centmin Mod - so your mileage will vary Centmin Mod is provided as is with an optimal base configuration. However, tuning settings for your specific site loads is left to end user to do or you can ask on this forum and other members here might help but I stay out of optimisation/tweaking advice as I do not do that for free on the forums.

For ngx_pagespeed best to bookmark the Nginx PageSpeed Troubleshooting sticky thread as there is high chance you need to tweak your Nginx pagespeed.conf config file for your web apps and styles used. You can see an example of this forum's pagespeed.conf tweaked for Xenforo and my particular used Xenforo style/theme and some discussion of troubleshooting advertising and ngx_pagespeed - both should give you a fair idea of what's involved it getting your web app and styles working 100% under ngx_pagespeed.

 

You're welcome and happy learning. Hopefully you pay it forward to other Centmin Mod beginners once you get to know Centmin Mod
