The chapter doesn't exist. What it looks like, is something that someone tried to move from one table to another at some point. I work within a specific range of story ID numbers, so that one wasn't me....LOL. I don't see any stories titled that in the rest of the data for the user, so I deleted it.

that was while we were resolving the permissions and the speed issues. The menu is java based, so if the host server is responding slowly, that's what you see. It shouldn't be much of an issue now, unless you run in to connection issues like I've been

Fairly common problem where users think they'll get more readers by deliberately putting it in the wrong category, where many of the readers are or were. Moved

What I've done for the search function in forum, is to set it back to traditional search methods. This way, it still works, while I wait for Nexcess to upgrade the core module, reindex the engine and reset the search daemon

let me know which subdomains so I know where to look pls

First one would be what Rogue reported in the other topic...the search function not working right. I've already notified Nexcess, as the indexes need rebuilt and the daemon restarted. They have to do it, as I don't have the access to that.

I rebuilt the search index, and I'll recheck search settings and make sure nothing else weird happened during this.

We're not going to have two separate links like that. However, when the new search engine is finally ported in to the archive, it'll certainly make it easier to find things.

We thank you for your continued patience. With a good deal of help from Nexcess (our hosting company) everything is back in working order. Now, with the many changes, I do expect for there to be some random weirdness popping up. So please do tell us, and give exact details. Without details, the issue can't be tracked down and fixed.

I'm having the same issues. It looks to be some php.ini settings, which I can't access. I've informed Nexcess, they'll let me know when those settings are tweaked

Some of you may still be experiencing a "500 internal server error". That would be because your DNS filters have not yet updated. This may take an additional hour or two for some of you, but I seriously doubt it'll take that long. That would be because when a NS record is changed (as this one was), it will cycle through a certain amount of users per every 5 minutes or so, until they're all caught up. This usually doesn't take more than an hour or so, as I said. One other thing, as the programs, while the DNS records are updating for everyone, are actually parsing read data from two servers, you may have slowness issues yet for a time. Simply refresh your page, and it will go away shortly.

The issue is fixed, and migration is complete. There is a conf file which only the hosting company has access to, which needed a tiny little change, in order to be "seen". However, we wouldn't have known that, but for the migration to begin with. AND AND AND, instead of the 2 x dual core we were thinking we were getting with the new hardware, we got 2 x QUAD CORE!!!!

I can tell you for certain the config files are being repointed as I type this. You'll be seeing a "500 internal server error" while this is happening.

The last of the databases is in the process of being imported. There will likely be one more short amount of issues, while config files are repointed. I expect it all to be done now, within the next hour.

from Nexcess: The file move was completed approximately 2 am this morning. The last phase of the data move is the migration of the database. This will take a couple hours, as the database is enormous. I expect that while the data is being migrated, and config files pointed to the new physical location, that we may start developing connection issues until the database migration is complete.

The data migration is not yet complete, so I expect to see issues. Why aren't you using Safari? I know for a fact that is stable, and has no issues. FF 5.01 is the version I'm using, with no issues, with Windows 7 as the environment. As software is written differently for different OS, it could be you've found an issue that's Mac specific.

It's not even got a section. Have you tried looking here?

While this won't make it so that copy/paste (ctrl+c / ctrl+v) retains your text formatting, it does at least maintain the paragraphs as set up in Wordpad documents now (native .rtf format). You'll still have to use the formatting tools within the RTE to bold, italicize, and etc. As I personally don't have Word, I've asked a few people to test function with that, to see if the extra spaces between paragraphs is resolved as well. I can try it with an exported file, but I will get better results from a native file. Open Office/Libre Office works fine (using paste from Word). PLEASE keep in mind, that if you use an extra carriage return to make spaces in between your paragraphs, rather than setting the paragraph format to show the extra space in between paragraphs within your document, that the RTE will see that as another paragraph and add an extra empty line. --- Have already heard from a tester (who's Word is set up to show a blank line after a paragraph WITHOUT adding another carriage return), and her test document added and displayed correctly.

yes I do. As the data and whatnot are in the process of being migrated, I do expect to see this.

I won

considering how many I tend to move at one time, I'm thinking it was me that "oopsed". It's fixed now

As the hardware was just set up yesterday morning (as far as I know, I've not confirmed it yet with Nexcess). The next step is migration of data from the old server to the new one. If you would, while this is ongoing, keep track of when this happens, and let us know. That would be helpful. As to Firefox crashing, what version do you have? If you have 4, either roll it back to to 3 (if you have XP or less), or upgrade to 5. I've not yet tested FF5 on an XP machine myself, but I do know it works quite well on a Win 7 system; whereas I also know it does NOT work on a Win 2k system. Which is why I'm unsure as to whether or not it'll work right on XP. If it doesn't work on W2K, chances are it won't work right on XP. Pages not loading in Chrome, would indicate there was no data being sent for a variety of reasons. Usually, Chrome will TELL you why a page won't load. So, let me know what that error is.

The upgrade for the hardware (replacement part) wasn't actually done 'til this morning, because of the faulty switch in the data center. That, of course, had to be addressed before our upgrade, as that affected many, many sites hosted by this company. Part of what is being upgraded as well is the OS. It's being changed from 32 to 64 bit. The server is now a Dual Core Xeon, rather than the Xeon P4 we've had for quite a few years. Also, the drives are being changed to SATA disc arrays, and the RAM is being changed to something more current as well. In other words, total system replacement.

The only crossovers I've seen between these two worlds are where Spike/Xander are one pair, and Harry/Draco are the other pair, and both in the story. That doesn't mean they're not out there though....
