We're back...
2006-01-23
Server switch is complete. I had a problem with the Postgresql database accepting the records dumped from the old server, so we lost today's headlines and the O Club conversation since last last night, but all else seems to be working. I'm sure we'll run into lots of problems in the next few days, but I'll fix them as quickly as I can.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Wanted to get this done over the weekend.

#55  My cookie's under control now, too. I'm going to open a thread for bug reports tomorrow, I think. I know I haven't found them all.

And then I have to rewrite most of the rest of the server. And mail still doesn't work...

#54  My cookie works fine in plain vanilla Internet Explorer (latest iteration -- I refuse to remember the number as a matter of principle).

#52  Test. Seems to be working fine w/ Mozilla 1.7

#51  Through-out this process I have had no trouble with cookies.
Unless stated otherwise I have been running Firefox on top of Linux.
How many with the cookie problem are in IE.
Any in FireFox?
If so on what OS?

#50  Works for me, except it reverted back to my Imam handle of Al Aska Paul. Fixed that. Heh.

#49  maybe it's my puter, but I just had to re-boot due to a freezeup.

/ deleted an unknown thingy the other day. ;(

#48  I figured how to make the server freeze up. Now if I could just figure a way to trap it...

My cookie's still hosed, too...

#47  Nimble, I now use Opera ('cause the buttons work) to do all my R-burg related stuff, and Safari for everything else. A 23" monitor helps :-)

#43  Except that it just ground to a halt for no reason I could figure.

And my cookie's still hosed and I can't figure why.
Posted by: Fred   2006-01-23 21:02  

#42  Agreed
Fixing at breakneck speed Fred.

Looks good.
Heading for supper.

#41  Okay. Fixed that one.

My cookie's still hosed, though.

#25  So what do you use with your Mac? Opera?

#24  But jumping jeebus, this sucker is fast now.
Posted by: Steve White   2006-01-23 19:31  

#23  Let me confirm that the buttons work with Opera on the Mac. They do not work with Safari (Fred has explained this to me, but it's like educating a Paleo about 'democracy'; don't ask me to regurgitate). They also do not work with Firefox on a Mac.

I haven't tried IE on the Mac, who would these days?
Posted by: Steve White   2006-01-23 19:30  

#22  Y'gotta use IE or Opera for the buttons to work. Sorry.

#21  The poster should be fixed now. Preview worked for me, except for the stylesheet, which I'm now fixing.
Posted by: Fred   2006-01-23 19:25  

#20  Testing under Konqueror Browser
Preview pops up a new browser window that says:
"Not Found


The requested URL /commpreview.php was not found on this server."

looks like you need to change it to commpreview.php or /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/comm....

Google, Link, B I S buttons don't work in Konqueror

#19  Everyone should flush their browser caches - some of the errors may be old cached pages.

#18  Fred, the errors I list above are with Firefox 1.5. It works with IE.

#16  I had some problems earlier today - between 2:15 and 4:30, MST. Rantburg wouldn't load at all in Opera, and was slow in Firefox. I cound't get comments or individual articles to load at all - kept getting a time out. I had to reboot a few minutes ago because Rantburg locked up. After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. Once again, Fred, you've proven that you're the expert! Thanks for all you do.

#7  It's the difference between the database versions. If you open them in the editor and save them the characters go back the way they're supposed to be. I'm not doing it for five years' worth of articles, though.

I'm just not that dedicated.

#4  It's very quick, but then it stops dead and Apache needs restarted. I increased the number of clients and that seems to have helped.

#3  Good work!
Posted by: Mark E.   2006-01-23 17:11  

#2  I'll be keeping a close eye on things this evening. Apache obviously needs some tuning, and I've got to do a lot of conversions.

#1  Nice work. It's very quick.
Don't ever think you gotta apologize for anything about this site.
