Moving of the forum to the new server

During the day I'll move the forum to a new dedicated server with much larger bandwidth (courtesy of pierre-oord). The web address will remain the same but because of the IP change it will take up to 48 hours for DNS records to refresh. Until then I'll create a page with link to a new server.

No change jet I see.

Just that you know: You can use the IP address too if you like. So set a link on your old webserver to the new IP address 217.148.191.82 , so the forum won't be down longer than needed!

edit:
For example, create a PHP page index.php with the following lines:

That should do it very easy

Some browsers don't accept header redirections...
He should create the temporary page anyway with the destination ip inside a tag <a>.

Sorry folks, I was very busy these days. I'll try to do it during the following days.

The moving went succesfull. The speed should be awesome now.

Thanks to pierre-oord for hosting.

Hmmm, I was to quick.
We have a problem with viewing users info - blanc page. Will see what is causing it.

I fixed the problem

Exept that the code from the invision power board is just crap and should be redesigned (lots of notices in error_reporting(E_ALL) ) this error occured because of PHP5 running. Fix is easy and I already applied it to the source:

Remove the first instance of "var $parser;" from both the UserCP.php and Profile.php files.

(Found that using google)

If you find any other problems just send me an email

edit:
Just wanted to say I'm happy the forum runs now in both SSL and non-SSL mode
http://xmailforum.homelinux.net/

and

https://xmailforum.homelinux.net/

(Personally I prefer non-ssl )

edit:
Also fixed the "The moderating team" page.

Make sure that in de SQL query all words "mod" are quoted using (back?)-quotes. That are these quotes: `
(On the key with the ~ character on most keyboards). in the file "stats.php"

I've also changed that file. I think now everything works. This error has something to do with the newer MySQL version on this server I think -> The word "mod" is reserved now, so should be quoted if you want to use it.

edit2:
I found one last error! Smilies are not working. like the : D (without the space) smilie. The address is https:// and with the old port on your old server. I don't know where the code of the smilies is placed, but please replace it, and use relative paths, so that it will work in both SSL and non-ssl mode

(else SSL messages are still displayed if you don't work in ssl-mode )

Great job. I am no php programmer so lucky you are.

I'll check about smileys.

Smiley

About smileys - there are no links for them in settings. I have just uploaded them with admin tool and activate.
BTW, My server is no more accesible and the smileys are working fine for me and I use Mozilla browser.

mm, they seem to work fine now, well, I'm using IE so maybe it's some caching problem.

I do see some smilies which comes from https adresses...

Try it out, view my message and then view the source of this website (HTML code) and search for "https:///". You will find some smilies then..

I see. his is because I have make the post before transfer and I can't do nothing about it except change it with editing my post or in mysql directly.

Ah okay, but please check it, maybe upgrade to V2 of this forum software, of maybe convert everything to something like PHPBB of another board, if i'm right blackboard is a good one I'll check it out.

Because, if i'm right:
If someone posts something in SSL mode, the smilie link will be SSL. Then I view the board in normal mode, and have press yes because of the SSL smilies. (and vice versa)

So the engine of the board should make relative URL's of smilies instead of hardcode the link to the smilie... Maybe I can change the behavior of the board, but maybe an upgrade is easier (more fixes included?)

Well, upgrade to v2 is not for free. Since v2 you need to pay for the board.

Changing to phpBB is an option since they provide a converter from IPB to phpBB. You can experiment to see if it works and if good then we can change it.

Is everything working fine now? (ssl/nonssl mode).

Also, I created a login for you to view your datatraffic. Public may view too if they like

Thanks Pierre, everything seems to work well now!
