vBulletin 3.8 Litespeed setup - please help!

[Jon12345]

I have just migrated my forum to a new host and went for a litespeed with cache upgrade. However, I have been trying to workout how to implement this for my vbulletin forum.

I found these instructions at post #5: https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/threads/vbulletin-guest-cache-with-litespeed.4401/

So, I installed the product-boostv1.xml‎ plugin as recommended, and asked my host to help with the rest of the steps. But they told me that the litespeed interface has changed since that post and so they cannot help with the rest of the steps.

Is there any way to get support from litespeed with this, or anyone know what I can do to get this implemented?

Thanks.

You can give it a try https://blog.litespeedtech.com/2011/01/28/speed-up-vbulletin-sites-through-litespeed-built-in-cache/ . since it is too old post and it may be out of date, hence there is no guarantee it will work. vBulletin 3.8 is an old version as well.

Basacially, you rewrite everything for a short period of time, such as two mintues, but excluding URLs such as admin etc. You should be able to work out the right rewrite rule if you are vBulletin expert.

Thanks for that @Pong. It looks like I might be switching platforms to Xenforo so it might become a mute point.

If you like to switch to Xenforo, I would echo your choice definitely. We use Xenforo ourselves such as this forum and we do have cache plugin built for Xenforo to make everything boldly simple. https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscxf
