Title: MOVE NEWS!!
Post by: Guest (Deleted) on October 22, 2006, 08:44:02 PM
This is the thread for complaints on the move.

We have moved to the same server hosting //www.nothingland.com

Everyone give a round of thanks to Darrin (Bullit) for allowing it.

I will continue working to address outstanding issues. The largest outstanding issue is getting mod-rewrite turned on for this server. I should have that fixed by this evening.

I have no complaints so far, it seems to be running good. You folks who handled the transfer seem to have done a real fine job.:hatsoff:

Front page links don't seem to work: clicking on my review of 45PR leads to nowhere.

modrewrite - It's part of the webserver. I'll try to get a co-worker to help me with this today.

The only things working are home page and the Forums. Everything else gets a 404.

Yes, I've noticed that too.  But give Pooka time, folks. He'll sort it out.

No problemo - no one else had mentioned it, and thought I should inform someone. :D

If I go directly to "www.therpgsite.com/forums" it just hangs and hangs and hangs and hangs....

...if I go to the .com and then click on the forums link, it works beautifully.

Is it me, or has space for PMs gone up to 100?

Can't access the blog.  Known issue, right?

Known, by me at least. I have no idea about Pooka. I'm trying to catch him. We just have to wait, guys. Unfortunately I know nothing about this stuff, and I don't know if any of the other admins know anything either.

I have basic web design/upkeep skills, but this site to complex for me to even think about doing anything with.

Ok, then let me throw this out here: is there ANYONE in the house who could:

1) make a fucking guess as to why everything other than the forums is fucked?

and/or

2) has the technical knowledge or knows of someone else around these parts with the technical knowledge to fix it?

Being as I work in IT and have worked for a web hosting company and I know vBulletin pretty well I could help.

All links dependent on modrewrite won't work until I figure out how to get it to work.  Guys, I'm looking for an answer to this - trust me it's bugging the shit out of me.
Title: MOVE NEWS!!
Post by: Guest (Deleted) on October 24, 2006, 08:07:20 PM
All links but the forums are generated by a mod-rewrite algorythm. I'm trying to figure out how to enable it and enable .thaccess files.  I'll get it sorted out as quickly as I can, but that's why all non-forum links aren't working at the moment. I'm sorry.

Found the setting - All links *should* be working now.  My apologies for the inconvenience.

I've gotten several database errors from what I presume is that. One of the tables became locked. I have repaired it, please try again.

Ok, got another error.  Studied the manual a little more carefully. Drupal has to have the ability to lock tables - so I granted that ability to the user account.  It *should* work now, please try again. (If it doesn't I will get an email direct from the system. Anytime you see a database error on your screen that's an email in my inbox ;) )
