attention! Phrase One completed & Scheduled Maintenance

[Eudemon]

you might ask: but I don't see anything different?

This phrase is geared toward Server, DNS, SSL changes

 

that's right, this site is now running on my own built private server,

you should see speed improvements

and please don't forget to report any bug you might encounter

 

Phrase two would be converting forum system and bridging blog,

that's why some downtime are expected (and I will try to keep it minimal),

 

the maintenance is currently scheduled for sometime between Sometime in August (subject to change)

this is a quick update, this post is subject to change, please come back and check updates

 

side note: this site's database is humongous

Is it possible to redirect /forum.php to the new main page address? I keep getting 404's using old auto-complete URLs (yes I do know how to change that but just being thoughtful of others who may think we are under maintenance). Thanks

[Eudemon]

Yes, totally possible.

Did we have redirect before? what was the rules like

e.g

/forum.php ---> forum.turboduck.net/

/forum.php?anything-xxyy ---> forum.turboduck.net/?anything-xxyy

 

the webserver we are currently on is nginx, which is different from previous apache2,

so .htaccess file won't work, either way, backup process don't include . files

[Eudemon]

update, if you access turboduck.net/forum.php you should see correct 404 page now

update 2, I noticed new registration stopped at 16 of last month, checked server log seems email are not sending out,

enabled SMTP email tested working (was originally planning to do this after system change)

 

also logo is not displaying, this will be fixed at phrase two.

update 3, maintenance likely push to sometimes mid of this month, if you want to know exact date please come back and check this post,

was planning to work on some testing over the July 4th holiday but I got sick

update 4, fixed blog page broken images, maintenance pushed to the end of the month due to my other projects kicked in
