Hello, I have the MySQL 5.7.16 version installed, but when I check with ips4.php, still appear the alert: MySQL Requirements MySQL connection could not be established to perform version check. Make sure your MySQL Server version is 5.1.3 or above (5.6.0 or above recommended). ?? I should use LAMP, or Nginx, which is better? MariaDB and MySQL, which will be most recomendable for ips?

Since long few of our members using iPhone are suffering that photos taken from iPhone upload sideways and not in correct orientation. I have tested myself that my iPhone 6 display the correct orientation before taking picture, I click the picture it shows me also correct portrait orientation but when I upload directly from my phone it goes sideways into landscape orientation. Reported this to support since long, but no action other than closing the ticket after a while. Appreciate if someone can share some fixes, work around or plugin to permanently cure this issue. It is getting very embarrassing for us now. Sample: https://carnity.com/topic/11707-i-left…

I just had a security certificate installed. When I am viewing my site, I see the "lock" image to the left of the URL with a yellow warning sign. When I mouse over it, it says: "This website does not supply identity information." When I click on it, it says www.turkeycentral.com Connection is not secure Parts of this page are not secure (such as images). I contact my host (Hostgator) about this issue, and they said the following: The warning symbol that you are seeing is basically stating that some of the content, such as images, are not being passed through https, and therefore are considered non-secure items. Unfortunately, this is a coding issue, …

Hello Many times users are between a dedicated server and a cloud server. I will try to share some info here so it will be more easy to do a selection according to there needs While comparing different server providers you have probably come across mentions of different kinds of hosting models such as virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers and cloud servers. Even while any of these will undoubtedly get you started, it’s important to choose the service that would best suite your needs. The wisdom in your choice will come from knowing what each of these server types provide. 1)Dedicated servers offer close to metal implementation with little ov…

So, I'm trying to upgrade my woefully outdated site (4.1.11), but the FTP system is giving me a hard time for some reason. I can log on with FileZilla using sftp (turning off keys and accepting passwords for ssh), but when I plot in the same info in the update process, it says nope. Any suggestions?

I've just cloned our production environment to run a test vm. Upon accessing the URL, I get a mangled skin with no CSS. Signing in gives an EX0 error. Same while trying to access the ACP, I get: And some technical details about not being able to write files. I'm guessing there's some parameter somewhere to do with the forum URL, which has now changed, and perhaps the skin cache needing to be regenerated. How do I go about restoring this with effectively no access to the UI, given I cannot login?

Hi all, sorry for my errors. I'm between you, today, with a problem that will make me crazy. Since a week I'm working to a migration from a VM to an other. All was looking nice... forum exactly as the old one. BUT if I go into my ACP, here start the strange situation. Some option works great (for example create a new user, make translations,...) Some others no. If I press, for example, on System, I got: EX1055 Something went wrong. Please try again. If I go under: System --> Settings --> General Configurations to set my forum offline, I can't save the status and my forum stil…

Hi all, We just migrated our site to IPB 4 coming from the current version of xenForo. Since reopening the site, the server has been getting slammed with about 4x the DB query load and higher CPU usage across the system. I've seen CPU usage go from 200-250% across 8 cores to 800-1000% across 12 cores. Some general server details: MySQL 5.7.14 Litespeed 5.0.19 PHP 7.0.8 Redis caching Linode VPS - Previously 24 GB RAM, now 48 GB just to get access to more cores. ~1000 concurrent users online (guests + registered logged in users) I'd rather not have to double our hosting bill just to move to IPB, but that's what I'm …

We have a weird problem in our community since we installed it. Smileys, Links and embedded Photos get some strange \" added and therefore don´t work. It seems the same thing happens to @username mentions. Smileys for example look like this: https://cl.ly/1X1B3U2z0z0C A link in a message looks like this: http://member.shootcamp.at/community/messenger/610/%5C%22http://member.shootcamp.at/community/forum/56-betatest-forum/%5C%22 We can´t find any reason or setting that causes this problem. We didn´t change the code, only the css. Any ideas? Did anyone experience this?

Hi all, I moved my community to a new server recently. Everything works smooth, I maintained same paths and configurations moving servers, but except for file uploads which are partially not working. Whenever a user tries to upload a file an error pops up: "There was a problem processing the uploaded file -200". The permissions to the "uploads" folder and all folders in it are currently 755. I tried to change to 775 but this didn't work either. What I find weird here is that attachments are working OK in private messages, so I checked user groups and forum permissions and everything looks OK there as well. I checked error logs, php logs, and fou…

Hi I was looking into upgrading from MySQL to MariaDB. So I decided to have a look at the database. It was created many many moons ago as a MyISAM - utf8_unicode database, however not long before the upgrade from ipb3 to ipb4 the db was converted to InnoDB and utf8mb4. The database is set to an InnoDB database at a global level and all tables very converted. All seemed good. I then upgraded to ipb4 and have installed all upgrades and bug fixes. It is currently up to date. MySQL version and PHP need upgraded on the server, so I took a look at the database... I now see that some tables are MyISAM and some are InnoDB, and some are utf8 and others are utf8…

Hi I am at the point of having to contemplate upgrading the versions of PHP and MySQL my server is running. MySQL will work but it is already below the recommended version. The version of PHP the server is running is the minimum recommended. The server in question is Amazon AWS running Amazon Linux. Current versions are: PHP 5.6.24 MySQL 5.5.51 With a number of possible versions to upgrade to, and it being a pain in the ass to upgrade (especially MySQL) I wanted to upgrade to the recommended versions of each. Additionally, can anyone recommend a specific upgrade process? What is the safest way to do it? What sort of downtime should I expect? …

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum for this question, but after upgrading to IP.Board 4 I've been looking around for a brief tutorial on implementing Sparkpost which seems to be the recommend mail server, but can't find a solution. Basically, I set up my account with spark, inserted the API key, and thought I was off and running, however, when I sent the test email, it was rejected 4 times by Sparkpost (didn't send through). Not sure what I'm missing here, any help is appreciated.

I've been using CloudFlare for years, CloudFlare PRO actually. Only recently I removed it, and the website is way faster - even my avg user noticed the speed difference. Only downside is that there is no CDN, but if the site is faster that's all that matters. Does CloudFlare really help you speed up your site, if you for example have the main site via direct - then "cdn.domain.tld" where you got all images, css etc via cloudflare? curious if that would also slow it down..
