I'm starting to think that I need to look into what it would take to build my own server. The reliability of a contracted service is just not attainable ....

So..... these are the issues:
Since my tech guy passed away, the former server owner has been trying to get control of the server. He has repeatedly tried to get a hold of whomever got it in probate. He has not got a response from them. The last 2 weeks I've been trying to get the latest copy of the site just in case it crashed. When you try to get to the server page (known as "c-panel") for all servers....it says that the domain expired, and can't be reached. Like I said the former owner has been trying to get control without success. Therefore, I was looking into getting my own server. That way I would stop being put in limbo every time it drops out. BUT, after doing the tests for speed requirements, I don't have what I would need available here 😞

So, I'm trying to figure out a fix....

The last copy I have of the site is a couple weeks old (cause that was the last time it worked).... what that means is, if I have to move the site to a different server, whatever was posted since that date stamp will not exist.... those posts will be lost.

      I appreciate the update HD but it's Greek to me.  Back when I worked, I always tried the kick/throw/swear thing first. Then I would call IT.

Yup, I contacted the guy that took over the server.
He's looking at getting a new one today because the one he took over is corrupted.
I've been trying to get a back-up, and every time it fails  :confused:

Sucks being a site owner...and the crap don't work.

Here is the email he sent to me.....
Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I've just put in a request to upgrade the server to have more ram and disk space. It will be migrated to a new VPS. This may mean there will but a bit of downtime today and or tomorrow.

Please be patient while this takes pace so we can all have better service. I will email everyone after it is completed.

Thanks,
Steve

Okey dokey.....

I have been going back and forth with the new server guy, the SFM forum and other forum gurus ....I believe I have the "call to undefined function shell_exec()" errors fixed.... :happy1:

The next one I'm working on is an error that reads as...."8192: preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated"

You may not see this error....but it could slow the site if it gets accumulated.

From what I understand is the version of the site and our PHP are not compatible....so what that means is that I either need to upgrade to the next version, or downgrade to a previous version of PHP.

Either way, if I'm getting behind on other duties, keep in mind I'm working in the background trying to fix the site (stuff my tech-guy would have done)............oh well...no rest for the wicked....


so.....there's your update......  :cheesy:
