The only problems I ever noticed with this server was like last week but that was do to turning on IIS.
No, IIS was turned on in order that David could try to see if there was anything wrong with his Apache config.
had you read further in that thread you'll have noticed that the actual cause of the problem was floods of requests originating in China, and to remedy this David has blocked a range of addresses.
Idk any other server problems you guys are talking about. It's ran perfect for me.
the one where for the past year it's run slowly most of the time,
it's been so many issues, like Davids free forums taking up all the resource, random hits from chinese addresses, I'm wondering what the next thing will be. there have been some days where the forum has been down for most of a day, or pages load so slowly it becomes impossible to actually browse, and there's no point in trying to post because once you've written a post you have no idea whether it'll actually submit of not...
It doesn't seem like David is going to upgrade the server any time soon so I don't really being a factor since the hardware isn't going to be upgraded anyways.
which is precisely the point, Davids got a theory that the problems were caused by one thing, but what if that theory is wrong? at the moment the plan is that he's just going to upgrade...
what if it does kill the server?
Oh and as long as he backs up the sql we should be good for not losing any data since its backed up. It's a good habit to do backups anyways.
I realise that,
I learned that the hard way. If the server bogs down do to the upgrade. Screw it. Redo it. load the 3.6.5 up. I haven't used Vbulletin personally, but if it's like any other one it shouldn't be to hard to do...
funny how you posted that after Seti already said that setting the thing up properly is a really rather big job,
Anyways Iduno, maybe I would like the change in style. But I don't really care anymore now with this negativity. lol
it's not negativity, it's rational questioning... you should know the difference.
as I said, I'm not against the upgrade, which is good, because it's definitely going to happen, David can't take money and then not upgrade!
the point I'm trying to make is that we should really be looking at what the benefits are, what are the new features?
Seti pointed out some interesting moderator enha?ncements, which I like the look of, but other than that what are the benefits
