Eiuol Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Seems like ALL posts made yesterday are gone, even the thread saying there will be a server move. Anything to do about that? I don't think anything else is gone before then, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I messaged David V. Forum was down for a bit this morning, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Sorry guys, I screwed up big time. I migrated the nightly backup, whereas I should have taken a snapshot before migrating. I thought it would be OK because it was the middle of the night, but because of the time zone difference (I'm in Bangkok) I did not realize that the backup was done on the previous day. Then, because I did it at the last minute, the hosting account is expired. I cannot access the latest backup without paying for another six months. Would it be a huge deal to give up on the last day of posts? They are probably in Google's cache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its best to consider the last day's posts gone. Assume it was force majeure and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 FYI The forum has not been very stable since the move. I am trying to host it on Windows/IIS, which requires some tuning. If it does not work after a week, I'll have to move it to Apache and/or Linux. Please IM me if you notice that it's down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Update: Just updated to PHP 5.6 and tuned the settings. Let's see if it's more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 To me, it seems slower. David, What was the primary motivation to move? Cost, performance, control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Finally it is loading, but also slower for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Slower loading, with frequent cloud server and sql errors. Edit: I would also add that the last post on this thread is still listed as the 4:26am post of 24May2015 @ 11:46pm 26May2015 Edit again: 27May2015 @ 7:51am, still indicating post #6 as the last post under "View New Content".

dream_weaver Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I'm not seeing the two edits added to my last post: Edit: I would also add that the last post on this thread is still listed as the 4:26am post of 24May2015 @ 11:46pm 26May2015 Edit again: 27May2015 @ 7:51am, still indicating post #6 as the last post under "View New Content". Also noting new threads started where the content is not displayed. Edit: Of course, it worked correctly this time. Go figure.

Eiuol Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 My website access is very slow lately. I figure it's server related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidV Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 How about now? Better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 How about now? Better? When I see it spinning, it seems to be trying to hit quotes.rationalmind.net I took the display of quotes out of the Default (Desktop) theme and it does not spin, but completes loading the page. I think it is still slower, but at least the page loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiuol Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 How about now? Better? For the past several hours it has been pretty much back to normal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 It just loaded up without noticeable lag for me, for the first time since the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Clicking around, it's pretty slow. Chat froze up without loading, Wiki is loading weird, and it wouldn't respond when I tried using the "Edit" button at the bottom of my last post.

Plasmatic Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 8 out of 10x I cant load the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Still getting the cloud flare Host Error: The connection to the origin web server was made, but the origin web server timed out before responding. The likely cause is an overloaded background task, database or application, stressing the resources on your web server. To resolve, please work with your hosting provider or web development team to free up resources for your database or overloaded application. Even when successfully connected with the page, the loading symbol on the Firefox browser tab will continue to indicate it's not done loading for several minutes. This results in being framed to the first post on a page, rather than jumping down to the last unread post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Not sure how long http://quotes.rationalmind.net/random.php?format=js has been having issues, but the "source page" shows it as one of the elements used to build a page. Perhaps a temporary disabling or putting a timeout/skip ability in may alleviate a part of the wait-time for a page to finish loading.

Perhaps a temporary disabling or putting a timeout/skip ability in may alleviate a part of the wait-time for a page to finish loading. I took it out of the default theme (See #14 above). I will take it out of the other themes too, until it gets resolved. Updated: Done. I hope that makes a difference.

JASKN Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Updated: Done. I hope that makes a difference. Clicking around, the speed feels almost normal again. The only page that lagged was the "Portal"/home page. It had a spot with the quotes code, so I deleted it. Now, it loads up like everything else. Problems solved?
