Hi, So I just finally transferred my domain to hvgaming.org from a general subdomain of hvgaming.jjservers.com and I'm happy that it not has its own domain, however whenever I try to access any of my files, admin panel, topics, anything like that, The site is automatically transfered to my host. Which is JJSERVERS.com Is this related to Invision Power Board, or to my host? and if its my host is there a way for me to manually edit the config files and change them to my new domain files. Otherwise I really have no idea what to do.

I have a dedicated Linux server that is currently hosting my forums. I was wondering if I should install a SMTP server, or just use SMTP? I plan on using html emails for news letters every now and then, and was wondering which option would be the best! Thanks :)

Does anybody have any experience using Google's program called page speed service https://developers.g...espeed/service. ? We all know the key to anything on the internet is speed. However, I don't know if Google speed works in a lot of cases because I think a lot of speed problems are associated with the database not the page elements like images, CSS or HTML. That stuff is tiny. Slow site speed may be more associated with a database that may be sluggish. However, I did see some efficiencies when running my url through their test http://www.webpagetest.org/compare Also, I am not sure how popular it would be to point your dns to google. I would be interested in…

Hi! I'm planning to move my forum to another hosting site. The problem is that I'm not sure what hardware configuration will I need and which general hosting options would be suitable. My forum stats are following: - over one million visits per month (average rate is 30-40k per day) - about 400-600 active users during every "last 10 minutes" period - number of active users during last 10 minutes sometimes peaks to 2000-4000 but for short periods. - daily bandwidth rate is ca. 10GB My current hosting option: two VPSes, one for serving board files and one for database. Both machines have (reportedly) Core i5 CPU and 1GB of RAM. Performance is generally OK, ple…

Good day guys, how are you today ? I'm contacting you today because I have two problems with my platform. I would really be grateful if you could assist and make me learn, as I'm a true computer dummy. First, I have two errors in My SQL database and I have a hard time knowing what to do to replace the tables : When I click on delete in member management nothing happens. When I click on the member and then click on delete member, I get this error : I contacted my host but I don't know how to replace these tables. Can you help and show me how please ? Second, new posts and views counts are wrong since maybe a week now. You'll imagine it's hard to fi…

My hosting has just upgraded to php 5.4.14. In this version the min/max functions have been deprecated. To the IPB user this means errors occur. Error messages at the top when managing hooks for a start. It also shows with certain apps (a certain arcade is one, shows when editing cats). Long story short, My host won't downgrade, so I'm now stuck with these errors ( and those I haven't found yet) til invision find a work-around. If you get these errors ( the message mentions min or max) it's the php and by my experience there isn't much you can do about it yourself unless you on a dedi or a home server.

Hi... Moved from PHP 5.2.9 (END OF LIFE) to 5.3.24. After doing so, IP.Board started showing "..." for any thread title that was to long vs just cropping and appending "..." to the end. I would not expect a move from 5.2.9 to 5.3.24 to make an issue. I mean, this IP.Board code is the one that is deciding when to add "..." to the end of something. And when you move to 5.3.24 it ends up doing "..." for the entire text if over X characters in size vs just cutting and adding "..." at the end. See screenshot. Going back to 5.2.9 all works fine...but I can not be on a end of live product like that. I would think someone would know what to look for or a php setting or s…

this is odd, when I (in ssh) manually enter mysqlcheck -u MY_USERNAME -p --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases and manually type password it works. when I enter password as part of the cmd I get this: mysqlcheck -u MY_USERNAME -p MY_PASSWORD --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases You should give only options, no arguments at all, with option --all-databases. Please see mysqlcheck --help for more information. so why is it ok when manually typing password but not when password is part of the cmd?

I am running the most current version of the IPB software, and wondered if anyone has had experience with posts being generated multiple times. This is putting quiet a bit of stress on the server. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Kind regard, Karen

Perhaps my concerns are unfounded from lack of computer understanding. In any case, please help me understand. I'm an IPS hosted client on a Legacy package. My board is a small poetry enthusiast community with 18,607 posts. I have 80 members, out of which maybe 30 have posted at all some time in the past, and maybe 10 are regularly active (i.e. posting or lurking daily or weekly). The rest are inactive. My Legacy package includes 200MB of disk space usage. Here's a picture of where I'm at according to cPanel: I have asked Invision what happens when the disk space quota is reached and was told that "stuff breaks" when that happens. I have asked if I can pa…

I've been Googling for hours now and can't seem to find anything close to a solution for the problem I'm having... So, I've got my server setup with Postfix / Dovecot. Postfix is set up to auth SASL via Dovecot... Whenever I try Outlook, or Thunderbird, from my PC, I can authenticate to both POP3 and/or IMAP, but Outlook refuses to send a test e-mail through postfix's SMTP... So I tried to set up everything on my gmail account the same way and it works... Gmail's web client can successfully auth with both POP3 and SMTP. I'm able to both send and receive e-mails for my e-mail user@mydomain.com through the Gmail client... So, that leads me to…

Discussions on using Invision Power Board with NGiNX have sprouted up here and there, but I haven't ever seen a dedicated thread for setting up and configuring NGiNX to work efficiently and securely with IP.Board. So, I figured I might try and contribute something myself. I'm currently running a forum receiving an average of over three million page views a month. After some fine tuning, I've got my forum operating on a single server using NGiNX without much issue. However, I am no expert. The advice and examples posted here are just taken largely from trial and error, as well as some advice from other more proficient NGiNX users. My server specifications (for referen…

Hi - Last two days I ran in to the max_connections limited set in my.cnf. Only because of this did I learn about this setting and make some adjustments. The value was set at 150 and I bumped it to 500. However, I have a question regarding this number: I have google analytics installed so I watched the traffic in real-time (ie. not using the 15 minute IPB online user count, but the real online user count). Both times that I ran into the max_connections, I only had around 80 users on my site. In the J2EE world, we normally use a connection pool. So, say you have a pool of 10 connections, you could probably support 100 users (making up the ratio here but you get…

Hey there, So I'm moving to a new server and i'm in the middle of moving an IPB site over, howerver some areas such as trying to view a members profile or database diagnostics result in a blank page with no error. I'm assuming this has to be something with my server configuration so I thought I'd see if you could help me. There is nothing showing up in the error_log / suphp log Bearing in mind i've only had a day and half to set this up and I was planning on optimizing it late (We need to get off our current server so we can cancel it). httpd.conf -> http://pastebin.com/ywZR43aX modules.conf -> http://pastebin.com/vGRHDRVB suphp.conf -> http://p…

My server upgraded to latest Apache 2.2 and it broke itself: Here's the problem and the instructions I tried to follow to fix it but that didn't work either: http://bghints.blogs...httpd-from.html (also maybe http://serverfault.c...t-create-socket ) Apache won't start, won't stop, won't let me apt-get remove it (or purge it)... won't let me apt-get install it or update it. In fact, it broke apt-get so I can't do anything with it. obsidian:~# apt-get upgrade -f Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
