This is a situation where Google can be your friend. 😄 Try searching for "battlelog.co reviews". There are a bunch of different ones that come up such as: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/battlelog.co https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/battlelog-co Compare the ones that have reviews about the site to the ones that Google support in their list of review aggregators... https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7045996#list_of_aggregators But again, this is all outside of IPB.

Given this is not a feature today... if you want it considered, post it in the Feature Suggestion forum. Otherwise it will be lost in a sea of support requests. 🙂

https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6059553?hl=en It's not done through IPB. There are ratings done through using one of the third party review aggregators. (You also require having a minimum number for this to be used as well.)

Given that you were getting a cached page earlier when the site was offline, it's possible the login response is cached for you as well. Try a different browser or clear your browser cache and then try accessing the site again. Also... you had a post on your website about 8 minutes ago, so people ARE getting in now at least! 🙂

The front page of marketplace is still not loading for me. But I assume the response is cached. So I could still be pulling an old cached version.

Yes, most users should pick up the change pretty quickly. I can access the site now. 🙂 I'm glad you got to the bottom of the problem!

I'm getting an error when trying to load the Marketplace Dashboard. The rest of the sections seem to load for me.

It's weird they're not labeling it with the actual pm.start_server name. I would start by increasing the start servers to 10, the min_spare to 10 and max_spare to 20. It's hard to say what your server can support in terms of memory etc, what else is already running, etc. But that should at least reduce the impact some.

Also... those settings are for Apache, not for FPM used by PHP. 🙂 https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/server/php-fpm/php-fpm-settings-for-better-optimization/

There is one self-hosted plan: https://invisioncommunity.com/buy/self-hosted/ With that option, you can choose which modules you want with your license. You get access to the software, but need to run everything yourself. You get to run the software forever, but updates and support are included for 6 months. After the 6 months, you need to renew your support/updates for an additional 6 month period. The various cloud plans are at: https://invisioncommunity.com/buy With the cloud plans, it's 100% hosted by IPB, so there is no software... you access it like you would Gmail in that you simply use the solution. IPS takes care of all of the underlying "stuff" such as managing hardware, backups, firewalls, etc. There is a matrix on that page that shows which features are included with each plan. The pricing is shown with the monthly or annual cost. (Paying by the year is cheaper.) There is a smaller Beginner plan that is not included in the matrix as well.... So if you need just the forum app without the other things such as commerce, blogs, files, pages, etc... that could potentially be a starting point for you as well.

Cloudflare will use persistent connections. Meaning it will open a connection and keep using the same one for multiple requests. As a result, if your server is having issues with that, disabling CF MIGHT help. But... what I am telling you though is based on the output of what you pasted... your PHP-FPM settings may simply need updated. Increase the pm.start_servers value in your PHP-FPM config file. Then restart PHP-FPM. Your host should be able to do this.

Use the CleanTalk app. The best 8 bucks you can spend.

Cowboy Denny, glad you got it squared away! 🙂 I meant to share a screenshot of SMTP settings for SES since I use it also, but got distracted by something else... for anyone that finds this later that is looking for it: Exiting SES sandbox sucks. It took several go arounds with them to get it lifted, but it finally happened.

It's absolutely a host issue. With DNS being down, it's like taking the sign off your house with your house number on it. No one knows where to go to find your site!

I can't resolve your site's DNS address and IsItDown says it's not reachable either. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/zipsnation.org.html And from MXToolbox, it could not resolve the domain. https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3azipsnation.org&run=toolpage If you're able to see the page, it's most likely a cached version. When you try to login, you're most likely not getting anywhere because it can't access a cached version when you're logging in.

This looks to be an issue with your php_fpm config. Those variables it’s complaining about is where I would start my analysis. By the way if it’s always happening at 1am, my guess is you have some sort of bot aggressively crawling your site at that time or the host is also doing backups or something similar.

AWS does not allow their servers to run SMTP directly. You would want to setup outbound SMTP through SES. In further looking…. There might be a way to remove the restriction on the port. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-port-25-throttle/

I think he's trying to direct HTTPS to HTTP intentionally. (If he's attempt to do SSL offload that is....) If you edit your storage method, you should be able to do this. ACP > System > Overview > Files > Storage Settings > Configurations Edit your storage method and you'll see something like: You'll want to provide a new custom URL. (Don't allow it to begin with "//" which will set it to use whatever the server's settings are.) If you have a problem forcing it to save, just setup a duplicate vhost on the load balancer/DNS and call it like storage.yourdomain.com. Use it like you would a CDN URL. By the way... you can define a different storage method and use it for different types of objects. For example, uploads could be sent to one AWS bucket while themes are set to a NFS mount with a different URL, etc.

Do you have any 3rd party resources installed that touch PMs in any way?

It sounds like you have conversations that are being deleted after X time with no reply. Check: Members->Member Settings->Profiles->Profile Settings Scroll down to "Conversations". Make sure the "Never" box is checked.

Edit: Glad you got to the bottom of the problem. 🙂

You might want to check with your hosting provider then. It sounds like a problem on their side. If you 100% fully deleted everything, it's IMPOSSIBLE for the content to exist on a new install. It does not exist in the default system files that you upload. Again, if you are 100% confident you actually DELETED everything... it's a problem your host would need to assist with.

If you simply created a new database, that does not reset everything. My guess is your conf_global.php file is still pointing to an old database instead of your new one. If I was you... I would 100% delete the database (drop it from within cPanel... don't just create a new one). Delete ALL of the files from your public_html. Upload a fresh set of files. Don't just use the files that were there previously and attempt to install it again over itself.

You mentioned that you created a new database and such. Have you confirmed that that new database is being used in your conf_global.php file? If you want to make sure it's fully reset and you're starting completely from scratch... drop the mySQL database and create a new one. Delete all files related to IPB from your website. Upload a fresh set of files from your client area. Then run the installer fresh. You should have a fresh/vanilla install.

Have you tried rebuilding your system cache from within the Support section of the ACP?
