General Discussion / Anyone seeing forum errors
« on: 2007-01-26, 01:34:05 AM »
Hello All - On the webserver I am sometimes seeing general php exceptions occurring related gamedev's forums. The error however is vague and in my testing I see no problems here nor has anyone reported problems.

So, has anyone noticed any problems (other than earlier today when the site was down a little bit)?  ???

Yes, I meant that my graphics are integrated into my motherboard.  I'm getting a graphics card for my computer soon, and it's a Radeon X800GTO 256MB, 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16(It's only $185.00)! :)  I don't understand too much about graphics cards, but I do know enough about them to pick out some good ones, at a great price.

Are you sure that you have a PCI Express slot? Often boards with intergrated graphic cards leave no slots, not even AGP. I am sure you looked into it, just thought I would mention it..

dates are messed up

heh and all the old bbcode is still in there, from hte old smilies:    ;)

Strange about the dates, you cannot display the month name, fixed it to an ISO format though..

Re: emoticons, I'll have to make a batch update script, probably in the next few days.

I'm not sure what all transfers exactly, I can setup new ones for testing and leave these here, see if we like them. If we like them then we can really move; I am new to SMF too.


I want to avoid confusion between multiple forums as much as possible, so in the interest of that, lets keep any trial period short and relatively quiet (see steps below).  I wouldn't want any period of time where real posts might be showing up on a test/obsolete forum that won't last.  I'd suggest the following process if it's not too much trouble (my many thanks to you for your efforts):
1) Trial transfer -- try copying the data over to the new forums without affecting the existing forums.  Try it out locally and make sure things look functional.  Maybe I could take a look too, but don't make them too public because we don't want to risk regular members posting in the test forum and losing their posts or anything like that.  (Perhaps a link to the new forums buried in this thread would be "private" enough as long as its clear that the new forums are not live yet.)
2) Set a date when the forums will be migrated and let us know to allow a chance for regular visitors to be aware that the forums may be unavailable for a short while
3) "Take down" the current forums to avoid new posts getting lost in the process of transferring live data.  (If possible put a "temporarily unavailable" message up at this address.)
4) Re-transfer current data from the current forums to the new forums.
5) Bring the new forums online at the same address as the old forums.  Bye bye old forums.

If transferring data twice is too much of a pain, maybe we can arrange a time to be online at the same time so I can get a quick look at the new forums (at a temporary/private address?) while the old forums are offline to determine whether to go ahead and bring the new ones online or to back up and reconsider.


Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks!

Also, I know there have been reliability problems with these forums as some of you may have noticed... that has been due to movement and poor choice of hosts both of which are obviously my fault. I am still trying to find a perfect host.. while hosting these forums I have moved them 4 or 5 times!

So Far I have used...

(Dedicated servers)
Ezzi - Worst service and billing issues!
LayeredTech - Not bad at all but 1 bandwidth provider
Ev1 - Machines low-end otherwise good
ServerBeach - Mediocre and getting worse, my first host.
I think I am missing someone...

In between hosts I have used shared hosting until I could decide on the next choice and I've used 4-5 of them..

Anyway, I do not plan on moving anything until next year everything should be stable for quite some time. This shared hosting sure is driving me nuts already though!

BTW, suggestions for my next datacenter are appreciated. I may colo instead of rent a server too.

I noticed on the SMF website that their users have lots of cool avatars, I think they have additional features related to that than phpbb.

Re: Old data. I didn't word that clearly at all, sorry. I meant that all the data would transfer from old forums to new, not just leave old ones up.

What do you guys think about switching to Simple Machines Forum (SMF)? I am hating phpbb more and more every day.. having to be super paranoid about exploits is driving me nuts!

SMF appears more secure, has better features and is supposed to be very easy to skin and mod. Performance is supposed to be better too... All existing users and posts would remain intact.

Thoughts? What do you think Ben / bluemonkmn?

General Discussion / PHP Upgrade
« on: 2005-07-28, 10:43:20 AM »
Hello guys,

I upgraded php on this server to php5.1 and performed some overdue tweaks. Php 5.1 is currently at beta3 and as such some bugs are to be expected but I believe that we will not experience any problems.

Unfortunatelly, I did have to put in some hacks to the phpbb source code and since I'm no php fan or programmer don't be surprised if I missed something!

I of course also have been upgrading phpbb to the latest version. It seams like every 2 weeks an exploit needs patched... sigh.

As always, please contact me immediately if any problems are experienced:

ICQ: 71994389
Email: pr0c@Comdel.net

And yes I know of the annoucements section but I figure thats best to used for announcements directly related to the game since folks may be subscribed to it, etc.
