Title: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 26 October, 2009, 10:06:05 PM Hi Folks,
Myzen (the hosts of this database) moved the disks around and consequently we lost access. It should've been an easy fix but Stuart has spent a while scratching his head and so have I tonight. Anyway, without wishing to booooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee you all with the details it's back up and running again. If ANYTHING doesn't work or is different then drop a post on this thread. Otherwise feel free to get your fix of the Forum again .... ... BTW ... nothing HAS changed on the forum, there has been no new software, it was just some maintenance of the hardware ... so nothing SHOULD have changed .... Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: fay66 on 26 October, 2009, 10:11:56 PM Hi Steve,
Just before the Forum went down I had been trying to upload 2 pictures totalling 361 KB and I got the same old message that the file was too big or taking too long to load. Just been in again and tried to upload them again but still refusing to accept them? Brian 8227 8) PS. Thanks for getting the system up and running again, I heard it might be something similar to Max Moseley's episode :D Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 26 October, 2009, 10:17:32 PM Brian, no idea at the moment ... I only fix it :)
Nice to see everybody back in again though ... just couldn't keep way !!! Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: Scarpia on 27 October, 2009, 05:30:57 PM so it was Brian's fault for uploading foto's....
I was just starting to post a controversial topic demanding the immediate ejection from the LMC of all members with either pre or post aprilia models and assumed the server had exploded...... last night was very long without the usual fix, nearly went cold turkey.....

I don't think I would have ever managed to sort it without your help!
Stuart. Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 27 October, 2009, 10:38:09 PM No problem :)
I'm just wondering whether the photo problem is related ? Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: stuwilson128 on 28 October, 2009, 05:45:38 PM Not sure if it is related to the picture problem. I have emailed Harvey to ask him how he rectified the photo problem previously. Hopefully it will be sorted soon :-\
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 28 October, 2009, 11:06:21 PM ahhhh, saw him tonight ... could've asked him myself ...
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: Harvey on 29 October, 2009, 01:00:42 PM I've received Stuart's e-mail, but I'll need to boot up the laptop and I have two huge demands upon my time this week... :)
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 29 October, 2009, 02:00:29 PM yes, could do with writing a FAQ on the forum ... but not keeeping in on the forum ....
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: LMC Forum Administration on 29 October, 2009, 03:15:39 PM The forum's attachments settings are fine, and there's still plenty of space in the upload folder ;D, so if anyone is still having problems with photos, please let Forum Admin know. Thanks.
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: Harvey on 29 October, 2009, 03:34:53 PM Nope. Still kaput. :(
Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: stuwilson128 on 29 October, 2009, 04:04:52 PM I think that I have now fixed the picture fault. After looking at the Simple Machines forum (who developed the software for this forum) it seems that the address path for the attachments folder was wrong. This seems to be due to the web hosts moving us around the server. On changing the address to the correct one, it seems to have cured the fault. I have done two test attachments in an admin area and both were successful, so here's hoping that the problem is now sorted!

Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: fay66 on 29 October, 2009, 04:55:18 PM Thanks Fellas,
I'll give it a whirl. Brian 8227 8) Title: Re: LMC FORUM WAS DOWN - PLEASE READ Post by: sparehead3 on 29 October, 2009, 11:04:50 PM That makes sense Stuart - I suggest we exchange some notes on email so that if it happens again we'll know what to do. We should also note where the Logo file is - 'cos it needs changing in two months and the copyright at the bottom - as that always niggles me ....
