Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Folks, We are moving the FISD web server to a faster and non shared server tomorrow. Starting around 1 AM EDT (0500 GMT) on Wednesday August 15 the forum will be inaccessible for about 24 hours. Thank you for your patience, -Eric Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Thank you for the update Eric, see you on the other side. 1 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Posted August 16, 2018 Ok. That was painful. The forum now resides on a new and better web server. I suspect you'll some performance improvement right away. If you experience something weird, diffusely bad, or an error. Please post here in this thread. Be sure to copy and paste or screen capture any error messages with the description of the problem. Tapatalk isn't working yet but we'll get to that in the next day. Thank you all for your patience. -Eric and Mathias 1 Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 Oh shucks, oh well back under the stairs I go 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 Still waiting for a few areas to come back online, ((Weapons locker, etc.) but I am sure that will be there soon. Looking forward to a faster speed! Many thanks for all your work on this, Eric! 1 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Posted August 18, 2018 I couldn't figure it out. I put in a trouble ticket with the forums software support folks. Liking posts seems to work again I think. -Eric 5 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Posted August 18, 2018 No word from support yet. -Eric Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 18, 2018 Report Posted August 18, 2018 It's not a matter of the threads not being there, it's just accessing them directly seems to be the issue. For instance, when you try to open a the E-11 thread in the Weapons Locker, it says it is "...currently offline..", but here it is, completely accessible: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/ 1 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Posted August 19, 2018 I've had some back and forth with support... but I made the dumb mistake of not making the ticket as "site down" I think. That means they're being kinda slow about it. For those that care... the problem is in how we display forum URLs. I don't know how it got F'd during the upgrade but it is indeed F'd up... .and I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. Thanks for your continued patience. -Eric Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted August 20, 2018 Report Posted August 20, 2018 Is that a technical term Eric 1 Quote
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted August 20, 2018 Report Posted August 20, 2018 Looks like they did indeed fix it, I've tried about 3-4 all working as expected. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Posted August 20, 2018 Yep. It looks like they fixed it. I left the trouble ticket open just in case things go south again. -Eric Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted August 20, 2018 Report Posted August 20, 2018 Thank you Eric and Mathias for getting us over to the new server, pages definitely load quicker , all threads and forums appear to be in tact and we are back to business as usual Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Posted August 20, 2018 Thank you Eric and Mathias for getting us over to the new server, pages definitely load quicker , all threads and forums appear to be in tact and we are back to business as usual Whew. What’s also nice about the new server is that the legion web team have pretty good monitoring on memory, CPU. database connections etc.... If we find that we are outgrowing the server we can add resources on the fly. Or the next time there is a racing shirt run or some sort of (more) plastic spaceman drama erupts and the forum gets really busy -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 20, 2018 Report Posted August 20, 2018 All seems good here, thanks again Eric Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 21, 2018 Report Posted August 21, 2018 Truly - thanks for all you & @Locitus have done. They certainly *feel* faster... 1 Quote
