site update

Post by thunderchero »

Hi Everyone,

cleverwise is working on a complete update of server. we hope this will go live within the next couple weeks.

cleverwise has never done any updates on phpbb, that has always been my responsibility :wink:

but unfortunately at this time I am having health issue and I may not update at the same time. I for see no issue with using old phpbb that we are not experiencing now. but if there is an issue the site may go down for a couple weeks until I am able to complete my part of update. I will not allow site to run with security risks.

If this does happen you may find more info on discord

I got the server upgraded but it sure did fight me. Anyway the site and forums should be working. If you notice errors let me know.

I will say I am aware that the forum statistics are not working on the website. There is something wrong with the plugin and the upgraded PHP. I'll have to fix that later.

As I write this post I have had enough for now.

Full Editor & Quote doesn't seem to work, but everything else looks to be fine. :roll:
Big thanks for your efforts on the server upgrade, and great to see you back again! :up: :up:

PM's also not working and e-mail notifications

so new members will not be able to confirm e-mail

stranger thing is they all work on Armada (except e-mail server).

I have contacted cleverwise and may attempt fix later

Yes we are hitting new PHP version errors. This phpBB forum software is not really compatible. It needs to be upgraded.

However at least it is mostly working at the moment so that is a start. We jumped up in major versions of everything.

I have the site loading phpBB stats again. For whatever reason the plugin wouldn't run the activation code, so I just disabled it. :up:

I just do not have time to track down why the latest server PHP is crashing on that code. However it is not needed as that was for the WordPress repos and I have quit maintaining this code base for other sites. :?: :?:

So we are good to go for now. Eventually the theme and other items need some upgrades but to my knowledge all front end access has been restored. We are just generating some warnings in logs behind the scenes.

If you do find something report it and I'll look into it... eventually. :cool:

Enjoy all!
