We are experiencing server issues, sorry for the inconvenience. :pouty:
-
Never tried to get on other than early yday myself, so no issues here. Thanks for keeping us in the loop though. :cool:
-
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 ....
-
Same as Gunner. Was just on in the morning. Thanks for the update HD!
-
i was checking on and off during the day......most of the time it was down...............but occasionally it pop back up.
yep thanks for keeping us in the loop.......... building your own server........all greek to me!!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :crazy:

Hillary might have a slightly used server in a closet for cheap! :coffee: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

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.
-
Good job HD. Sure hope it all goes well.

I'm sure Bill has got a "used" cigar that could be bartered for payment :sleazy:

Especially everything I taught boar :doah:
-
Oh well......on to the future. :happy1:
-
Nothing that terrible important that will get 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.
-
:scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: anyone else get this when coming here?????
when i click to MNO i get
A error has occured
call to undefined function shell_exec()
so if i go to the home page.....because it doesnt show forums click home page........then i'm back to normal??? kinda odd!!!
-
get the same error message too...
-
get the same error message too...
i get it both on my laptop and phone!!!!!!!
-
Same here.
-
Been doing that here too. I just saved the 1 after I went to the homepage & deleted the old link. Works better but still not all the time.
-
My Google Chrome doesn't work......error message. :thumbs:
But using Firefox works every time. :happy1:
-
:scratch: I went back to using Chrome, didn't think about trying another browser. :doah: Thanks, Ken!! :happy1: :cool:
-
Yep, usually 2 swings at it and I'm in.
-
Same here. Not a big deal. Takes a couple extra seconds. I have livestock. Patience is a virtue... :coffee:
-
Yep, usually 2 swings at it and I'm in.
Same here too. Also noticed the tiny pics thing is not working for me. :scratch:
-
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.

yep noticed that yesterday to when i posted my good beer picture!!!!! :happy1: good thing they didnt leak!!!!! :shocked:
-
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,

So guys... If I say something stupid on here... you'll know the system was hacked. :rotflmao:

good one!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1: :happy1:

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:

It is amazing everything you need to know to keep a website running. I know it is hard to keep all the technology stars aligned for us. Thanks, HD.

As one from a generation that has been playing catch up with all the new technology as it shows up, I really appreciate what you're doing HD. And in your spare time no less. :coffee:
