State of the Brontos
Re: State of the Brontos
I don't have the time to watch an episode or two of a TV show between pages on the forums anymore. Everything is ruined.
Re: State of the Brontos
Hey Mothra, I got an email saying there was an update for phpbb3; want to see if auto update breaks it on *nix? 8D
Re: State of the Brontos
Sure, what's the worst that could possibly happen?
Noted. If it's not the server, it's gotta be the forum itself, I guess. That at least narrows it down.

On a better note lately the worst slowdown times are what used to be my best load times. And during certain windows I'm getting pretty much immediate response.

Re: State of the Brontos
Yeah, I'm still getting random logouts regularly just from trying to open two board tabs at once.

Re: State of the Brontos
That was before the update.
I'm fine now.

Re: State of the Brontos
I'm still getting logged out once a day.
Re: State of the Brontos
I was previously having to log in consistently each time I switched devices (home desktop, work desktop (not saved), phone). That is no longer happening.
Re: State of the Brontos
Can we get the "return to [board]" to show up in very thin (ie phone in portrait layout) windows? That's when it would be the most use to me, and that's exactly when it doesn't show up.
Re: State of the Brontos
The cutoff point on desktop seems to be a browser window 464 pixels wide, but the cutoff on phones seems unrelated to that - my phone in portrait doesn't show the button with 1440 horizontal pixels. I thought it might be related to DPI and inches or something, but my phone in landscape does show the button, and is thinner than 464 pixels is on either of my monitors. So! I can contribute nothing to figuring out what's wrong. Have fun!

Yeah, this theme has a different style sheet for desktop, tablet, and mobile, that it shifts between as the window is resized.
I'll see if I can figure out how to add that button into the mobile without it fucking up the formatting.
Re: State of the Brontos
I can't access my webspace anymore entirely.
Re: State of the Brontos
now she can.
So no one's found anything they missed off the old servers? I'll do one last (incremental) backup and prolly say goodnight this month.

Re: State of the Brontos
Uh, I don't need to transfer my stuff, do I? I haven't updated my site in some time, so no changes, but last time you shuffled our stuff to the new servers. Do I need to download and reupload?
Re: State of the Brontos
Nah, you're fine; it was more of a 'if anything is missing from late march/early april, then I'm not surprised'
actually I think I need to update your db info. I'll send you a pm

Re: State of the Brontos
Well, my whole site's gone at the moment, but I'll check out your PM.
Re: State of the Brontos
Just an update: Automated emails were down, apparently since the recent server change, but Lady and I got it sorted out again. Registrations and password resets are fine as of last weekend.
Re: State of the Brontos
old site will still be accessible through the end of this month, after which it will expire. Not that it seems to matter at this point.

Re: State of the Brontos
Just going to put up a question here instead of PMing Lady because this might be something easy that Thad or Brent someone knows the answer to. Well, actually it's two problems.
Okay, database has been moved. I can go in the FTP and see my data - all the data files are there.
I can manually enter http://mongrel.brontoforum.us/ and go to the site. The Portfolio page doesn't work, presumably because my MySQL table is missing or in the wrong folder somewhere. Is this the stuff which is on the old host? We've tried various things (mostly the new usernames Lady PM'd me) as alternate urls and none of them brought the site up.
My domain registrar, Dreamhost, has the simplest possible setup - the url is simply set to redirect to http://mongrel.brontoforum.us/ HOW-SO-EVER, when you go to framsonstudios.com... it fails to connect. Even though you can MANUALLY type http://mongrel.brontoforum.us/ and go to the site, sans portfolio page.
SO WTF, I have no idea what's broken and neither does my brother. Not sure if the old MySQL table needs to be fished out of whatever dumpster it's in before the old host expires or if it was actually carried over and we just need to fix something. Either way we're still not sure why the redirect doesn't work.
EDIT: Hold on, my brother thinks he figured it out... stand by for post deletion...
EDIT2: Nooope. No clue what the hell's going on. Also, Lady, we can't login to the MySQL database using the info from your most recent PM to me. :/
TL;DR, the question I need to answer so far boil down to:
1) What URL should be used to load the website on the current host.
2) how to connect to MySQL now because the updated info results in HeidiSQL giving off the following error: PLink exited unexpected. Command line was: D:\HeidiSQL\plugins\plink.exe -ssh brontofo_Mongrel@ssh.brontoforum.us -pw "******" -P 22 -N -L 22:localhost:3306
Hmmm, maybe these really are just questions for Lady.

Re: State of the Brontos
1) I whoised your domain. It expired the end of March (whois.sc). You need to renew it ASAP, lest some domain hijacker gets you.
2) You won't be able to connect to the mySQL database from your side, I mean for one, localhost implies that it's on the same machine as you, and for another, it's firewalled to only accept connections that originate from the server. (don't worry, I tried it too)
3) try using "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1".

Re: State of the Brontos
1) Oh fuck me. I had it on automatic credit card renewal. Except Dreamhost doesn't seem to think so, so now they want $100 to "redeem" it. Guess I fucked up as usual.
Great, well, I guess I'm fucked now. I can't swing that. Not for something that's generated 0 revenue and which has fuck all no one looking at it.
Not sure what I'm going to do now. Pick a different URL, I guess. Fuck me.
