Hello, I have a strange issue, when I change the storage folder for anything (Files > Storage Settings) the folder I'm switching to change its permissions to 666 after the moving background task is done. (Was set to 777 before switching the folder) The background task is completing without any errors. This is a serious issue because the task is deleting the original files but the files are not moved in the new location because the permission are changed to 666. I get nothing in the systems logs. I tried on a test install without any plugins, same issue. IPS 4.6.9, PHP 8.0, MYSQL 8.0, Nginx, Ubuntu 20.04.

Hello, On older version, the software was keeping the original uploaded images intact but now all images are compressed by the software, even the original images and even if you have no max size set in the posting settings. Using 100% compression for GD makes the uploaded images larger so it's not a solution, I just want a 300kb image to be 300kb after uploading.

Hello guys, I moved to a new host few days ago, with the previous host I was still on 4.4.6 due to server restrictions. I installed a new version on the new host, moved files and converted all tables to Innobd.. few hours after install, I got the error below, I had reinstall again again and again (remove conf_global - reinstall - reupload conf_global).

We are testing Ezoic on one of our websites and already have seen an improvement in revenue generated in the first few days. However we are spotting some compatibility issues which are going to be a show stopper unless we can get them resolved. Is anyone successfully using Ezoic with the latest version of IPS community and how did you get things like your front end block manager, sign in as user and live meta tag editor working, or are you using Ezoic successfully without any of issues with those? Thanks in advance.

Under what user account do you recommend running the crontab tasks? Is there anything else I should be careful about? Maybe a short guide? I do know how to set crontab.

Hi folks! I wanted to start a topic to discuss best practices around scaling a website in the cloud. Today my IPB site runs on a VPS that I have full root level access to. All of the system services needed run on the box. (A full LAMP stack along with DNS and email.) I’m looking at building out a new cloud-based design that I’m hoping will allow for Better availability Improved performance Increased security My initial thought for the deployment would be the following: Initially deploy 2 cloud servers to serve as the web tier. (This would be scaled up as needed) These servers would only allow traffic on 80/443 to the inte…

This might be a bit of a long post as I want to include as much details as possible. However, I'd greatly appreciate it if you took the time as I'm completely stumped by this one. I know nginx isn't officially supported by IPS (even though it 100% most certainly should be - it's 2022), which is why this is in community support, but I'd love any ideas from IPS guys on this as well. Setup: I am in the middle of moving our website from AWS Elastic Beanstalk to Digital Ocean running inside a Docker Swarm (maybe soon to be k8s, doesn't matter). On AWS, I am running Apache/PHP 7.3.30 and in DO I'm running Nginx/PHP 8.0.13. Both web servers are now talking to…

I would have contacted support about this but because I no longer have an active license because the fees are way too high, apparently I can't report security concerns??? I've noticed that on my installation of IPS, when trying to use the URL encoded RTL Unicode character in the URL (%E2%80%AE) in the middle of params, it's still reversing the text direction and causing issues on the site. Not sure if this will work on the example below, but after the "do=" I added the above url encoded value and it reversed it on my forum and it broke the page. i.e. http://localhost/community/index.php?/topic/2-test/&do=getLastComment

I keep getting this error Dangerous PHP Functions Enabled Some functions are enabled on your server which have the potential to cause serious damage to your community or server. If you are in a shared hosting environment, some of these functions may bypass the restrictions which prevent one account on the server affecting another. Their presence also increases the amount of damage that could be caused if your AdminCP is compromised. Since Invision Community, and most other web applications do not use these functions, we recommend disabling them on your server, at least within the directory that your community is installed in. You should con…

Hi, We are currently on the IPS cloud plan and spending 330 USD per month. Last month we had 1.9 million page views and 130 Average user count. We also pay for Amazon AWS media hosting that comes in at between 20-30 per month. Next year I want to look into options on self hosting and seeing what can be saved on the running costs. Is anyone running a similar sized forum and can give me an idea of what the self hosted route may cost. Or any other advice on this? Thanks in advance.

Redis is installed and was working fine for some time. Recently I dibbled it for testing but now when I try to enable it again I get this error: "Caching is not working correctly.

My constants.php looks like this \define( 'REDIS_ENABLED', false ); //I also get the same error with this set to true \define( 'STORE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); \define( 'STORE_CONFIG', '[]' ); \define( 'CACHE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); \define( 'REDIS_CONFIG', '{"server":"localhost","port":6379,"password":""}' ); \define( 'CACHE_PAGE_TIMEOUT', 600 ); \define( 'SUITE_UNIQU…

Hi Everyone, Has anyone experienced the issue shown in the video since updated to version 4.6.8 of the IP Board forum plugin? I have the self-hosted version. Here's the video; https://www.loom.com/share/d2ecb02d3f1543ee85db6f81758c4925 Both my site maintenance guy, and my hosting (siteground) looked into this and can't find the issue. I reached out to Invision support and they said this issue is not caused by the plugin. No one seems to know what the hell this firewall thing is, please help!
