Hi all, I have my live dev build running on a subdomain. I just noticed this morning there are 12 guests browsing the dev build. I'm wondering what is the recommended way to prevent other people from accessing it is. I have the Guests' group setting "can access site" turned to off, along with all groups other than admins. I have the site set to offline. Somehow they're still browsing, as shown in the admin cp, the "Whos Online" widget, and the Online Users page. Unfortunately WayBackMachine apparently allows access to an older version of the dev version. If they were browsing an archived version of the dev version, would it show up in those places as them c…

Hey guys, where do I find instructions how to move the board to a new server ? Do you just upload the files to the new server and setup a database with the same name ? Is there a CHMOD list for the different directories ? You guys see I have a few questions - haven't done it for a few years so I don't remember and maybe things have changed since then 😄 Thanks for your help in forward. HP

I have a VPN that I can manage though WHM. I tried to disable the listed dangerous functions, but it didn't seem to work. I went to cPanel --> MultiPHP INI Editor --> Editor Mode --> Home Directory and added this to the bottom: disable_functions = exec, system, passthru, popen, proc_open, shell_exec Then back to WHM --> Terminal --> service httpd restart These functions still are listed as enabled. I'm sure I did something wrong, suggestions?

Sendfile is an IPS plugin that implements server X-Sendfile support into the software suite. Use this to improve server performance on large communities that handle a lot of attachment and/or IDM file downloads. What is X-Sendfile? In short, it gives PHP a way to tell your web server to deliver files to the client after proper permission checks and other actions have been performed by IPS. This way, you are not relying on PHP itself to deliver the files to the client. The reason you don't want PHP to handle file transfers is simple: PHP is really inefficient at it. This is particularly important if you run IPS in a self-hosted environment and yo…

Hi all! I'm trying to install Widgetbot IO on my site. Widgetbot is a Discord bot, and installing it adds a Discord icon in the corner of your site which can be clicked and expands into a small chat window containing your Discord server. It requires pasting a small chunk of Javascript code ideally before the closing body tag. An example looks like this: <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@widgetbot/crate@3" async defer> new Crate({ server: '299881420891881473', channel: '355719584830980096' }) </script> Given that I no longer have a manual theme, but an easy mode editor theme, I opted to paste the code inside of a custom widget, …

I have been using CentOS since last 5-6 years and have no problem or preference over it. I understand that moving forward my only choice is CentOS 7 and that too for next 3-4 year of EOL. What are the other possible stable choices out there on which I can run IPS site? Is there any Linux server OS that comes with GUI panel to manage server? I have used and liked cPanel in the past but Im happy to explore other options too (plesk etc.), so feel free to suggest new combination (OS + CP) with which you have been happily working with. P.S. I didn't use cpanel much other than bare minimum task of restarting web services, checking stats or adding new em…

Hello, I've been advised to use SMTP instead of PHP to send emails, in the ACP (system, email settings). Can you give me a few hints about the way it should be configured ? My community is hosted on a dedicated server with WHM Cpanel. SMTP Host => localhost ? SMTP Protocol => standard ? SSL ? TLS ? SMTP Port => 465 ? Where do I find the SMTP Username and Password ? Thank you. 🙂

As we are getting busy and at times our current server screaming for resources. So we plan to shift to a new server and wish to split entire IPB (single site) load into 1) web server and 2) mail server. Appreciate if someone can guide on how to tell IPB core to use different mail server on different IP and domain name? Also if some one has other idea or experience to handle load, will be highly appreciable. Thanks. Web server load: 1000 unique / day (10-15K pageviews /day) Mail server load: 3k - 6k email / day - just IPB notifications, no newsletter, no spamming.

I am getting this error when I try to get an access_token from the IPS oAuth server: { "name": "AuthorizationError", "code": "invalid_scope", "status": 500 } I didn't find any official documentation on this and it would be great if someone gave me the link. The URL I'm requesting for is this (confidential data has been hidden with XXX-XXX😞 https://example.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri=example.com&scope=authorization_code&client_id=XXX-XXX What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I seem to be encountering issues when logging into my community's admin control panel. This issue is intermittent and I'm not entirely certain what could be causing it. Sometimes I have to log in 4-5 times to the AdminCP before it will log me in. The issue seems to be because of the ref= query parameter containing the adsess= parameter when accessed. I think a way to replicate it is to: 1. log into the admin CP and navigate to some portion of the adminCP (for example users) 2. Browse the community and click the AdminCP button (this creates a new admin session) 3. Go back to the first tab that had the original admin session and try to perform an action.…

Hi A quick question, does invision community work with PHP 7.4? If so, do you know what modules are required? With the deprecation of the .htaccess with 7.4, will there be any server set up changes/implications for invision? Cheers John

I have converted some tables from MyISAM to InnoDB, but some table conversions fail. Error: #1709 - Index column size too large. The maximum column size is 767 bytes. Contacted my hosting provider. Because I am on a shared hosting account (MySQL 5.6) a change of MySQL config is not possible. One recommended option was to reduce the index per column. E.g. with From: KEY path_segment (path_segment(255), uid) to: KEY path_segment (path_segment(185), uid) Anyone knows, what the exact implications of this would be? Does someone has experience with it? The second alternative option was to upgrade the hosting plan using MariaDB which has the neede…

Hello, I have a server running a fresh install of CentOS 8 with apache 2.4.37, php 7.2.24, and mysql 5.7.32. I downloaded IPS 4.5.4 from my client area and uploaded it to my server. However when I attempt to browse to my site/admin/install it doesn't work. I receive http error 505 and nothing loads. I know the URL is fine and files are accessible because I can drop in a random .php file and access it with no problem. The ready check file shows my mysql version is not compatible, but it looks like it should be? Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?
