New Server in use + Icons section!!!

[Ralle]

Great news everyone!
I have finally set up the new server completely, it is running hiveworkshop.com and chat.hiveworkshop.com.
The server runs very smooth!

I have also finished the new icons section and imported all the icons from the previous section.

Great news everyone!

Yay, goodjob ralle... +rep!

 

[LiOneSS]

Wow ralle... hive getting better every day... are the other sections gonna be renewed too?

 

[frostwhisper]

Happy new server folks.

Chat's not working though. Not for me anyway. It doesn't show anything except the people present in the channel.

There is 16 people, and im talking with them just fine, so idk what your problem is. . . .

Go to http://chat.hiveworkshop.com/reset.php

Then open the chat again.

What is new with the server?Anyway nice job.

 

[Rui]

I hope the new server fixes those downtimes.
Anyway, isn't reputation going to be removed?

 

[Pyritie]

I sure as heck hope not.

Otherwise what will we use to warn misbehaving users? We can't threaten them with neg rep. And what about contests? 2nd and 3rd place would get no prizes. And challenges would be useless.

Coding Errors

Good job, Ralle. However I am getting this error message when I am viewing the news page.

Warning: getimagesize(/home/hiveworkshop.com/www/forums/../resources_new/images_res/map_no_image128.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /modules/newest_res.php on line 61

I've found a few bugs too. For one thing I can't update any icons; it gives me a vB database error message.

Three more things to do with minimodding:

• On the icon section, everything is in the B category, as the icons all start with BTN. Maybe make the letter go on the 4th letter instead of the first for icons?
• Icons aren't showing a picture on the minimod thingy (like where the preview image normally would go for the models)
• On the models minimod thingy, some resources I can categorize and others I can't. I press Save and nothing happens, and when I refresh they're still there. And I've waited a while to see if it was just lag. And it isn't. However, some resources I can categorize and they go nice and fast like normal.

There are *Tons* of new things if you're unaware:

1) We're running our own server now, meaning Ralle bought the parts, built it himself, and runs it from home.

2) The hardware that Ralle is using is VASTLY superior to the stuff our old server had, meaning that we have *zero* downtime, and blazing fast speeds.

3) The server can now handle a larger load with no problem (more RAM solves this problem) which means more people can view the site without it grinding to a halt, and no more pesky "Server To Busy" errors, which were caused by our old servers lack of RAM.

4) It is way cheaper this way, since we're operating and maintaining the server ourself, we don't have to pay to rent it (as well as housekeeping/upkeep), meaning the hosting is that much cheaper.

So yeah, just about everything is improved thanks to Ralle's herculean effort (and spending). Make sure to try and donate, as Ralle purchased the server (Hardware is quite costly, especially top of the line parts like what Ralle has bought), so we should all try and help cover the cost!

Way to go Chieftain!

 

[Angelusz]

Nice! I wonder if the chat will be used a lot... and properly.

 

[Pyritie]

Once I get my paypal account set up I'll donate $25 or so.

 

[Instant Ramen]

Let's see if I can use my powers of persuasion to get my parents to donate $100. Shouldn't be too hard.

 

[brad.dude03]

I would donate, but I am broke, and I'm already owing my parents a bit of cash. I'm getting a job within the neext few weeks (hopefully) so once my first paycheck comes in and I have a crapload of disposable income, I'll be happy to donate.

 

[Samuraid]

The new server seems to be working so far. Hopefully things continue to run smoothly and we can resolve any minor issues that still exist.

The Hive Workshop

The only bug I noticed on the boards was my inability to rename a specific thread. However, after I cleaned my browser cache, it seems to have worked out.

This particular server change has gone FAR smother than any of the others: the near instantaneous DNS update made this move a real dream.

Well done Chieftain! ALL HAIL RALLE!

I got a server busy notice! Went away in about five minutes.

Glad to see it went so quickly and smoothly though!

[NinjaDino]

It's the same thing the models have. The only minimod for the icons so far is me, so until some more are recruited (who actually do something) then they'll get recategorized very slowly.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Icons. Can't stop loving it!

 

[ZypherXII]

Nice Ralle! Good job..

 

[Xarwin]

Nice one Ralle.
Keep up the good things,
And improve it -> perfect.

 

[brad.dude03]

Hooray, chat lives again, this is good news for all

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I never noticed something from it then

 

[brad.dude03]

And an edit: Chat still doesn't work from my home PC. It works from both the Mac and Windows computers at my school (it didn't yesterday) but for whatever reason, this computer, on both FF and IE, refuses to load chat.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Try removing cookies or something like that.

 

[brad.dude03]

Already did. I'll try again.

 

[Pyritie]

Did you go to http://chat.hiveworkshop.com/reset.php ?

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, and I get a 'Page Cannot be Displayed' message.

 

[Ralle]

weird. what does "nslookup hiveworkshop.com" (windows) say?
