I'm still configurating things, but after 48 hours of ups and downs the system is now back on-line with many, many improvements.

I installed a new OS (SuSE Linux Pro 9.3), new 2.6 Linux kernel, a new FILESYSTEM (reiserfs -- much better support for the thousands of flat files that UBB uses), a newer version of Apache 2.0, newer version of perl (5.8.6), mod_perl 2.0, new Postfix mail server (still working on that), and all sorts of stuff.

About the only thing I haven't done is upgrade UBB, but since the old OS on the server was what was keeping me from upgrading, UBB may be due for a change soon too.

*yes*

\m/

Good job!

Welcome back, TOTSE!

Never... leave... me.... AGAIN.

I was starting to get the shakes.

-Dust

You might have just made my day good sir.

Totse=Upgrade!

Thank You Jeff.

*Huge Sigh of Relief*

Good job Jeff

yay.

A very old version of RedHat Linux. I don't even recall the version number, but I installed it in 2001.

WAY too old.

Thankyou Jeff. 1 Pissant-Totse=Crazy!

Good work.

It is nice to see totse back.

One other thing is still missing. The SSL doesn't work. Other than that and the crappy UBB who's author should be hung, great job.

*breathes sigh of relief*

My life has been worthless for the past 48 hours. You have filled it with crap again.

Quoted for truth.

But, YET AGAIN, I demand something, the idea is hugely argued against with no actual evidence or reasoning, and an admin suddenly does almost exactly what I described. Edit: And gets hugely worshipped (and with good cause) for it. Left that out accidentally.

You and lots of folks. I'm working on it. Seems like it should be an easy fix, but Apache is not cooperating.

Almost no accounts were lost (one or two, tops), and I don't think any messages were lost either. I use rsync-over-ssh to backup the system to another server throughout the day. Otherwise it would have taken a week or two to get everything back up.

Awesome

thank JEFF!

Hah.. yeah, apache can be a bitch..

And yeah, while you're at it, a UBB upgrade would be way cool. It's a lot of work, true, but you'll thank yourself for it. And so will totse http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)

When I click search on the homepgae and enter my search it just gives me this "Forbidden

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

*waits patiently for the text file search and submission functions to be working again*

I was out of town and I come back and totse is gone. Scared the crap outta me.

Please fix the SSL, proxies are waaaaaaaay too slow. Please?

*Cringes*

Seriously, it is pretty hard to access totse now. Proxies take way too long to do anything unless its important.

Please bring back the HTTPS.

Before you installed mod_perl you were actually able to see the UBB code!

Not that I would copy it or anything...

=p

Why dont they use the software stormfront uses? Stormfront has over 60000 registered memebrs and they do good...

I hope the UBB gets changed out. This stuff seems to be an older style and almost pre-2000 ish. I like UBB and totse is kick ass, but it must be a bitch to keep doing what your doing with the old UBB.

I wonder the day I come to TOTSE when it has a new and different design and a different UBB board. That will be sweet.
