Server Upgrade (Dec 28)

Mayhem · December 28, 2020, 12:27:21 AM

I've made some changes to the server software configuration tonight. Please let me know if any of the pages load faster / slower for you.

The changes I made *should* speed things up for everyone, but users who live far west or east maybe the only ones that will see any noticeable difference.

Everything seems great. It might be a skosh faster but it was always fast for me. I'm just glad the forum didn't break during the server change - **snicker**

I'll probably break the forum just after the new year when the next big forum patch is expected to be released

Squid · December 29, 2020, 04:36:21 AM

LOL, I'll brace myself!

You can do it Mayem, you can do it!!

Mayhem · December 30, 2020, 12:48:31 AM

I'll be sure to give plenty of warning before I start!

I see on the support forum that the patch will be released a day or 2 after new years. It looks like I'll be upgrading the forum on Saturday, January 9th.

You've been warned!

Squid · December 31, 2020, 04:52:48 AM

I'll put my hardhat on!

You can do it Mayhem, I know you can!!

The forum upgrade probably won't happen until next weekend. It looks like they're working on one last issue.

Squid · January 03, 2021, 06:20:23 AM

Ok, good luck!

Mayhem · January 08, 2021, 12:33:36 AM

It looks like it's not going to happen this weekend either. No ETA on when that update will be out ...

Squid · January 08, 2021, 04:20:23 AM

Ok, we want all the stars to be aligned, right? It's not really urgent, is it?

Mayhem · January 09, 2021, 12:44:54 AM

It's not urgent, but the update has a whole bunch of fixes dating back to June of last year.

Also, this forum software is the only thing holding me back from being able to upgrade PHP to the latest version - which is important for a few projects of mine.

Squid · January 09, 2021, 06:28:45 AM

Gotcha!

Mayhem · January 10, 2021, 12:32:10 AM

I'm currently testing the latest forum update, so please let me know if you see any issues. Thanks!

Squid · January 10, 2021, 03:48:51 AM

So far, so good.

Mayhem · January 11, 2021, 12:42:04 AM

Ok, great! I'm not seeing anything in the error logs either, which is really good news.

In the next day or so I'll be testing PHP 8 and we may see something then ...
