So it finished, but....it never deleted the moved images, so I am in a dilemma knowing what I can delete from my uploads folder (which is 98% full on my server). I realized quickly I cannot delete everything because there are user icons and thumbnails, etc. Any tips on how I can delete all the attachments from my local server now that they've been moved to S3 without deleting other items?

Hi, it seems I needed to up my memory_limit in PHP to 512MB for those manual tasks to work. PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 351229400 bytes) in /opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs/system/File/FileSystem.php Having done that, the progress on moving has increased now. I will update this post tonight or tomorrow when the uploads finish.

On my self-hosted v4.712, I decided to move all post image data to an S3 bucket a couple of days ago. It was progressing as expected, but the dashboard shows progress stuck at 65.21%. One thing I have been doing is uploading some of the attachment folders manually to the S3 bucket because we have so many attachments, but I don't know whether that has interfered. I have tried clearing system caches. Cloudflare has been disabled through this entire process. I click to manually run the tasks now, it spins for a few seconds and the errors out with an HTTP 500 error. A refresh then shows the same dashboard status:

When I migrate everything to a new server, the board still tries to use the same old path to HTDOCS. I did change constants.php but it's looking elsewhere. I cannot login to the new system to change this. I get errors like this due to a non-existent path: Where can I change these settings? I don't want to change them on my old site because then if my migration fails, I won't be able to get back into the old site. I searched the entire SQL database but couldn't find any instances of these paths. Thanks!

A couple of years ago I allowed PNG files to be posted, thinking storage was cheap and lossless was ideal for our site. Turns out Windows pastes as PNG and the size of my storage has almost doubled in two years compared to the past 10 years. Ideally, I could convert these PNGs en masse to JPG and then somehow update the database to reflect the new extension on the affected files. Has anyone done this or seen a post how?

I am using IrfanView, but noticed several other members were also posting as PNG. Do you know what happens if we disable PNG uploading but paste?

My community is image-heavy and I noticed whenever I copy and paste an image from my image program, it pastes into the forum as a very large PNG even if it was a JPG. This is filling our board with a lot of large PNG files. Is there a way to paste it as a JPG? Would I need to disable PNG from being posted at all?

I figured it out. A moderator moved the message but had not informed me. Is there a way to know when a message has been moved by a moderator?

I have a forum set to only allow viewing or posting by users with 100+ posts. Both settings are enabled on this forum, but a user with five posts just posted a topic in that forum. Any ideas?
