Author Topic: Server Upgrade NOW - Forum will be down for at least an hour! (Read 7684 times)

Well I don't even believe that. It seems that every time we upgrade servers we have more problems than anticipated.

Here are the reasons for the server upgrade:

- Hard Drive is 91% full
- The YouTube mod will not work and it appears to be a server problem
- Auto Notifications are also a problem, none are being sent since about the same time as the YT problems started

I have had an SMF Support Specialist look at the forum and he has even reloaded the mod that allows us to post YT videos. It worked for a short while and then quit working again. He feels it's a server problem, since I was already considering another server upgrade I am now planning on upgrading the server as soon as possible and it's hoped that this will also solve the YouTube and Auto Notifications problems.

However, this time we are doing an in house server upgrade meaning the new server is at the same location (company) as the old server.

I will post a notification when the server upgrade will occur and if the forum is down for an extended time please fell free to check for updates or post discussions on the H-W facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HuntingWashington until the forum is back online.

Thanks,
Dale

I've been looking things over for about 30 minutes, I think most things are working well. The cache for most internet providers will take a few hours to update before most members will be able to login to the site.

Anyone can go to the Hunting-Washington facebook page and get instructions on how to login right away, but it is a little complicated.

Cant seem to get on the forum via tapatalk, says "this forum is either restricting access from tapatalk or the installed tapatalk plugin is not working. please contact your forum administrator"

I even logged out and relogged in and it doesn't work

Before it also said the API is expired but still let me on. Not sure whats up. Thanks!!

For phones, Just go into your browsers, Clear your "Cache" Restart browser, should be good to go. Worked for me

I'm not sure it's a problem with tapatalk, we just upgraded to the latest version of tapatalk this week, but I will ask the server administrator if tapatalk is broken. Each internet service provider has a cache of websites and some renew quicker than others, most likely tapatalk has not renewed their cache yet so they are still trying to login to the old server.

Alrighty! SMOKE TEST TIME!

This is what I was doing right before the last two hiccups.

And some body will feel like this if it hiccups right after words.

The only problem so far is that the spell check didn't work when I made my first post after the upgrade. It didn't work when I tried for this post either.

The tapatalk permissions were set poorly and they had to be reset, but it's all good now.

Hi Dale,

No problem

Yes, it had horrible permissions set on it.
The server security we equipped your server with shut tapatalk down for security purposes because it was installed insecurely.

We have patched the issue and it should be working now, please see screenshot attached.

Kind regards,

I just tried and it wouldn't work for me either. I'll have it looked into.
