Brand new shiny CA server

[Paddy_NL]

So when is the forum going to be moved to the new server? I presume it hasn't yet, as the forum is still dead slow from time to time...

Paddy,

The server has been delivered and will be enroute to its destination from Tom via Lennart - I understnad that they're aiming to get it in and running in early May - a tight timeline, but achievable if all goes well.

Ladies and Gents,

A brief update, just to let you all know that the shiny new server has now arrived safely at its destination ready for installation.  Hopefullly all will go well with installing it and we should soon see the benefits

Latest news is that I got one of my good friends in the datacentre to unpack the server and even power it up, so it is now running on an internal IP address, so I can keep it synchronized with the real server until Monday morning sometime before lunch (say 10-12 UK).

I'll let you know as things progress.

Regards

Lennart/Djet

OLD SERVER CRASHED !

The  webserver  simply  died,  which it has never done before.  I could start it with club-arnage only, but since the  other  sites are paying the hosting bill, I tried adding a few on.

When  that went ok, I added some more, and then I put them all on, and it crashed again.

I  then  started  adding  them one by one, and now only added the ones that actually resolve their domainnames now (we-ve had a few zombie ones for a while).

This way, I managed to add ALL active sites.

So  the  theory  is  that one of the vhosts domainname expired in some "bad" way by the end of  April,  so  when  the  logfile  was turned  over  at 23:00 localtime (10pm UK time) the server keeled

It  has  never  had problems with expired domainnames for vhosts before, so this one must be different.

As  the  time  was  now well over 2am and I needed to get to work early, I didn't spend another second  looking  at  the  remaining sites to find the explanation.

Lennart,

It probably had "Commer " in the name somewhere......

Glad to hear that the new server is there and that all looks well so far for a transfer onto it on Monday.  Many thanks go to Del, Tom and you for sorting out the ordering, shipping and installation.  Look forward to lightning-like performance!

GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!


Lennart, are you saying the vhost in the machine has expired?

Can i just say i know nothing about how servers work and all thats envolved with them but i am certainly impressed with the new found speed of CA

Impressive as the sped of the new server is I am somewhat dismayed that the emoticons buttons appear to no longer work for me.  I have to type them in the old fashioned way.  :-(

Have I missed something or is the forum supposed to have placeholders all over it?

I don't know why that should be the case for you Doris.
You profile says your using the default Theme  so they should be there.

That's likely to be because you are using the old "converted" Theme if you change to the Default Theme with CA mod it should work correctly.

Lennart only created the Converted from yabbse as a tempory thing. 

The Software has been update to 1.1.5  the old server was on 1.1.4  so support for the old theme has been dropped.

Sorry.

[Robspot]

That sorts that. Thanks.

Could be a work thing but I also cannot highlight things to make them bold or italics or scored through etc.  Will see if it happens on the laptop at home.

I assume you mean when you post it doesn't look like the image below.   Try shift reload.
