new site server

[SpankMe]

Just moved the site to a new server. Let me know what the responce time is like and if there are any problems.

[Blakamin]

so quick on my 10mbit pipe its not funny!!!! heaps better!... pages load in no time at all!!!

[crashe]

Just back on.... but I am using dial up.... so not sure yet if its any faster...

[6Chris6]

Smells cleaner in here.
Is this where it's staying? Or just temporary.

[Blakamin]

what was the old server??? I have a feeling i've played with zyns recently.. cant remember if it was here or game forum....

[James Deuce]

It's heaps quicker. I've just upgraded to Firefox 1.0 and the old site was starting to crawl a bit on ADSL.

This one loads all the subsidiary bits like the smilies noticeably quicker.

[Hooks]

well the old jetstream is moving along nicely and so are the pages here !! everything is loading quicker ... Well done that man ... :spudbooge :done:

[What?]

It's done something horrible to the bottom of all Jim2's posts...

:D

I can only stay silently stir crazy for so long 'til it all starts leaking out!

[Hitcher]

Not much faster, if any discernable difference on 56k dial-up.

[Blakamin]

was there a problem 20 mins ago???
I got 150 emails from the site? (once daily update, normally 30) and then couldn't get a page to load???

[SpankMe]

Downloaded the latest kernel and the test transaction sucked up all the memory. This server only has half the memory the old one did, but is $100/month cheaper.

Bizzarrely enough it's quicker. I was getting lots of "slow downs" in the last month.

[Blakamin]

$100 cheaper sounds good to me!!!!

[avgas]

Yeh good on u for saving $100, how much do we owe u for the rest????

[SpankMe]

I not actually saving anything. The previous server was rented by PlayerX and he allowed me is use it for free.

Caused me all sorts of grief. Can't use my Mac with Safari 1.0.3 cause any link asks me to login again and I get messages about database errors and shite. (I think its an issue with the old Safari I'm running)
Back to the slow, old Shitty PC with Firefox. :disapint:

[mangell6]

Tis lots quicker now

[Skunk]

No quicker for me. (I hate this PC :crybaby: ) But I thinks it's the PC that's slow. :yes:

[Skunk]

Yep, it's the old Safari. Just tried on the wifes' Mac and it's OK. :doctor:

[Ms Piggy]

Definiltey faster, definitely :niceone:

I've told you, you need to give that stuff up. You know what they say, it's the "gateway" drug :2thumbsup

Have you tried Firefox on the Mac, Skunk?

I'm using Firefox 1.0 Preview Release (NF) with the Noia theme ATM on an iBook G3/600 with only 256MB ram running on OS 10.3.6 and it works fine. Also use it (same specs) at work on an eMac/1250 Os 10.3.6 and on my G4/400 running 10.3.7 no problems.

Ditch Safari. Its just a reskinned Konqueror browser anyway. Firefox is heaps better. :niceone:

[scumdog]

My server played up last night, now my inbox does not show any new KB messages, what gives, is it my 'puter or has somat else gone wrong? :argh:

[Kendog]

Quicker here as well, great work :niceone:

Firefox is heaps better. :niceone:I'm stuck on 10.2.8 until I upgrade to 10.3.x and then do the php and MySQL upgrade as well - which is not straight forward from what I've read. (I use my webserver as my daily machine.) BW G3 350/ 1Gb ram.
As it was it was just the "generous" cacheing.
I use Firefox on my PC. Quite like Safari - they made a lot of code changes to KHTML too. And gave the soucre back.


well it serves you right for using one of those stupid machines :buggerd:Ignoramus... Done your Windows Update today?

Ignoramus...

Bugger. So you can only upgrade by bringing the server down.

Sounds like you need another computer buddy.

The new Mac mini sounds pretty cool as a web server ...

[SpankMe]

email from the site may be a bit erratic while I try and setup the new server as an email server.

Fuck imap is a complex setup. :argh:

I got the same thing a couple of minutes ago, then refreshed and all was fine, other than needing to log in again.

[SpankMe]

Haven’t received any dB error emails so you could just be getting that page from cache. Let me know if you get it a second time.

This morning when I was in KB and went away for a while......
well when I came back I had been logged out... that is the first time that has ever happened to me.... I have in the past always remained logged in... even if I leave the comp for 1/2 hour or so...

[Biff]

I've changed my mind - at times it is now painfully slow to access this site. I'm not sure if this is a server issue or a bandwidth bottleneck.

It's definatley this site and not my PC or network as I can access all my other usual (an unsusual) sites without any problems. My IT team also did a quick check, I believe that they pinged your server, they also conclude that there is a traffic volume issue to your server.

Hmmm - are we getting close to asking people for membership fees in order to pay for this site?

I'm not complaining mind you. As like many others here we're grateful for the time, money and effort you put into running this site. Thanks.

Still having login troubles, but havent come across that error message that I had before. I have to type in a p/w at the beginning of every session, even though i have cookies enabled and the 'remember me' box checked
