ANNOUNCEMENT SERVER OUTAGE 12/29: (Update: 4:31am - We're Up)

[Ian]

This has been completed and it appears everything is working properly. There will be some small things as I need to re-start some cron jobs and some other processes, but I believe everything should be up and running. Please report any issues here in this thread, and I appreciate everyone's patience. Logging off for a bit so I can get some sleep, but I'll hop back on in a few hours.

 

[Ian]

I will say that the speed feels a half beat quicker compared to the old one, so it feels like the performance should be better as well. Again, let me know if anyone runs into any issues, and I'll be back in a couple of hours

Thanks @Ian for the work

Definitely been a rough year, and I'm sure it will be another interesting offseason. They have a lot of needs and Maye is going to be the one shiny thing they'll at least be able to sell skill players on. The key is going to be landing the first guy, and the rest will hopefully follow.

Thank you Ian for the update. As always I appreciate all the hard work you and the mods do to keep the forum going. That is very much appreciated! On our illustrious patriots.. yeah as the offseason nears.. I'm feeling more likely that we land a WR by trade. Of course go after Higgins.. as we know Drake is the face of the organization. We need to really start with the LOS we need to strengthen this OL and this DL. I've never seen a patriots defense get bullied like this years team does.

Great to see! Appreciate the hard work

I was getting constant Cloudflare/slow response issues the last few weeks so I will let you know if I run into anything now.

Yes, definitely curious to see if that is hopefully no longer an issue.

Smooth as silk for me so far, none of those pesky orange bars or timeouts!

Like everyone said, thanks a TON for all your late night work … Long time ITer here who is getting tired of the off hours stuff - which was a bit more fun when I was younger. But glad to see the cron reference, so at least you are running a reliable OS

Doing a lot of this so far while digging through the error log:



Still have some old files I have to rewrite, but we'll get there eventually.

 

[Zuma]

Site seems faster

 

[Ian]

One thing I have noticed is you may need to logout and log back in as the session didn't seem to be carrying across the site for the various contests, presumably because the IPs are different. However - before you logout, make sure your email is set to a valid email address - before you attempt to log back in just in case. You can also email me if you need to at patsfans.com(at)gmail(dot)com if you run into any problems.

Thanks for all the work! If you run into any issues or complications, feel free to rant in this thread. Some of us may be able to help (or at least commiserate -- given the state of my home lab, it may be somewhere in between). Appreciate all the years of good discussions on this site. I know first-hand how much work goes into it.

 

[PWRxWLF]

Thank you for all you do for this community Ian. Glad the transfer worked out.

 

[Ian]

Thank you, guys.

Working on getting the search function taken care of. Hopefully I’ll get that done and then I’ll get that reindexed, which I know was an issue and kept crashing on the last one. I’m hoping that will no longer be an issue moving forward.

11:30-4:30
Make sure you put in for OT

 

[TomPatriot]

The site seems better, faster. Well done!

 

[Ian]

Search should now be all set, and the error log appears to have finally quieted down. So, for now, I'll leave this here a little longer before it gets moved to the Help Forum.

 

[Jim Beankie]

If they win this game and lose the #1, I swear you better be ready for a DoS because the new server would've jinxed them.

In all seriousness, thanks for all your hard work for allowing us to Bit&Moan.

Anyone else have their tool bar greyed out? Like where the bold and italic options are.

 

[Ian]

You must have accidentally hit the brackets. Hit the three dots, and then hit the brackets and it will toggle everything back on for you:

Some day I'll make a FAQ thing here for things like this. You know, it's only been 20+ years. I'm clearly a little slow on stuff like that
