I'm not sure whether this forum will be temporary or permanent at the moment. Please register and we will see what happens. I have not heard from the host since they unsuccessfully tried to move our sql server at 07:15 this morning despite sending them numerous messages since. I have not even been able to attempt our actual upgrade.
Update... Now going to be permanent. Hopefully we will get the old forum back up online at some stage when the host eventually replies to messages. I have noticed them trying to do things but still no word from them.
I don't like change :(
Welcome Durk - whatever happens this will be the long term look of the board so I hope you can get used to it. Still not heard anything off Dreamhost
its too bright
How can they unsuccessfully move a database, must be a bunch of reds.
Right who's username can we usurp before they sign up?
Welcome goat and bluepill. Must be rags you'd think they'd at least have the decency to reply.
im about 20,000 posts light. cut and paste them gav you lazy sod
You never know we might get your wisdom back online but on the other hand it could be lost forever in the ether.
Killkenny, Ludo and reddishblue I have manually activated you in case you don't get your emails because of spam blockers etc. You should be able to just log in now with your username and password.
so lost my posts and my goat, did you let stevie set this up?
I have all the files but no database but you'll be pleased to know I'm blaming the yanks for that.
good stuff, the yanks minged my dodgy paypal account an all
If you have all the files and this turns out to be permanent please can I have my city rubber duck back?
Will Stevie ever manage to get back.
bloody hell , that took a while
Post no.1 :)
I quite like the new look
I love a new fresh look, and it smells soooooo goooooooood.
New digs gav?? ;)
Doesn't look too bad. Hope they sort the database for you though.
Welcome guys. Still not heard anything at all from Dreamhost - this is a 24/7 hosting company! They sent me 6 or 7 emails yesterday. I tend to think we should stay here now unless there are major objections. I hope to get the old database back up and running for posterity at some stage though.
Crazy thing is we still have to downgrade back to the shared hosting at some stage this week. That is away from this Virtual Private Server setup that was going to make the upgrade process so much easier according to dreamhost. An upgrade process that was never even started. I was going to take a database backup before the upgrade. I would imagine that the old database is still in one piece on the old server if they ever get around to us. They are supposed to take nightly backups in addition too but obviously there are none for the new sql server.
I will have a look for the missing goat and duck images....
i prefer this goat now, he looks more suave
Well here he is anyway (http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=1982;type=avatar)
cheers, maybe you can can stick them together to make a supergoat avatar thing or have them rotate in a pointless way
hello
have the paddys been meddling?
just noticed its not even a goat, fucks sake stevie

Good evening gentlemen. I bags the leather armchair near the bar.
Evening Sir Rowley, make yourself comfortable while I sort a few things out.
As we're more than likely going to stay here now suggestions are welcome on improvements.

Bannblue, City Slicker, Football4life - your activation emails must have gone missing or something so I have activated you manually. You should now be able to log in with your new user name and password.

ha ha sounds painful getting activated manually !!!
Seems we've just had some downtime again >:(
Still I've only had one utterly pointless reply off the host about all this.
What's with all this re-registering jazz?!
Bloody hell, who's been messing with the site then?
Gav did a stevie
Took a while for the activation link to actually work!
Missing the city emoticons too >:(
No pleasing some people

Any chance of the 'all' option to view entire threads coming back Gav? This clicking through pages is more of an effort than I've become accustomed to! ;D
Baggsy being a mod moving this topic to 'technical mancs'.

:D
The 'All' option is back and I will get our emoticons back again at some stage. But first I must ask the host to move us back to shared hosting so there may be more disruption from early this morning through tomorrow but once we are sorted then there will hopefully be no more disruption.
Still not heard anything from the host about how they managed to corrupt our database and why they have done nothing about it yet either by the way.
Don't worry Gav, we blame you

incompetence that is what it is; shoot the bastards :)
Right Dreamhost screwed us again so we are now hosted on a slightly different domain name - forum2.citymancs.com. The site is now hosted using a different host, nicely called bluehost. Dreamhost now only do the DNS which I am hopeful they can't fuck up too badly. I may switch this away from them in the near future anyway. But hopefully for the foreseeable future no further changes will be necessary.
you do know no fucker understands any of this gav?
this is the site with stevie on dont forget
Well lets put it this way - there's a lot less for Dreamhost to fuck up now! Seems a bit quicker with bluehost to me anyway.
so are we staying or going or what?
stevie is innocent ;)
you are not the birmingham 6 stevie
Yep, we're staying.

Can't open the site using Chrome. Get the message 'This web page has a redirect loop'. IE works though.
What address are you using when you get that? The actual address we are using now is forum2.citymancs.com however smf.citymancs.com and forum.citymancs.com should both redirect here.
If I use any of those addresses in Chrome it does re-direct but I still get the same message.
I cannot replicate that using chrome on 2 different computers. Maybe it is something in your cache or cookies causing the problem? Are you using the latest version of chrome?
Sorted. Deleted all browsing history since the beginning of time.
Good, actually I have just had an email off another member with the same issues so I have directed her to do same.

Finally back in - thanks Gav.
Can't reset my password though (tried to login on iPad...iPad said no. Tried to go through the I forgot my password malarkey- timed out) so I'll stick with the phone for now!
If you continue to have a problem with the ipad let me know further details. Cheers.

Hoorar!
Old site appears to live again. (As I found out when I clicked on the link on my Favourites bar - which is odd, because I'm sure I used the same link to get into the new site yesterday)
Yes, the old site is back up as an archive (http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0 (http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0)) - not sure for how long as Dreamhost still have to do some work with it. I intend to leave it there with old topics able to be replied to if it stays functional. there are difficulties with staying logged in which is why we had to upgrade in the first place,
Please bookmark the new site.
The old board went out with City as Champions :D .
Whoah. Was away for work a week and suddenly Citymancs went ***** up. Great to see it up and running. Time for a new disaster recovery plan where all SQL backups are local again as the hosting providers can't be trusted ;)
Welcome Chocovla. We still do tape backups at work but I don't think we need go that far here. I will work on a script cron job to do nightlies to the server in my kitchen.

Even to this day with all the cloud infrastructure available I'm still wary of a online backup only. Then again I'm one of those old geezers who still has a completely wired network in his house. :)

Wired is still by far the best way to go. Even with Wireless AC, I only get 200Mbps to my server and 400mbps from it using my laptop so still a fraction of gig ethernet.
I notice the database is down again on the old forum so I have put back in place the direct forward to here. Hopefully we will get the old forum back again at some stage. Glad we moved the new place to bluehost though. Please bookmark http://forum2.citymancs.com (http://forum2.citymancs.com).
The webmail still seems to be stuck at Friday for my citymancs account but IMAP access seems fine. If anyone needs help accessing email let me know - the address for imap/smtp is mail.citymancs.com and you put your full email address in as the username. Configuration is pretty standard.
I had some initial problems with the passwords too. Hopefully fixed now :)

I'm led to believe that Dreamhost are finished arsing about with the old forum. Not a hint of an apology from them. Anyway If you want to look at or even reply to old threads on there you can - if you can stay signed in for long enough that is. It is at http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php (http://smf.citymancs.com/forum/index.php). I will put a link on the citymancs drop down on the main menu on here at some stage as well as looking at any other requests that you are welcome to make.

Critical security patches have been released, addressing a few vulnerabilities in SMF 2.0.x and SMF 1.1.x. We urge all administrators to upgrade as soon as possible. Just visit the package manager to install the patch.
thought you would be loving shit like that
It's a good shout goat,
Should probably remove the version number of the software at the bottom too, nasties will know which exploits are worth trying
Cron some nightly backups too!
stevie is on the case
We're already on 2.0.9, the latest version! I will sort out the backup script this weekend.

Welcome Gareth.
Cheers... only here to moan about rags in the fantasy league! ;)
I've just had a rag report by PM actually but not from you!! OOK team have been suspended for including De Gea.
So I'm redundant!
Actually that's the same team that had Rooney and Falcao earlier in the season and got a reprieve, so it's no great loss to see the back of them.
peter kay had some in the early weeks.
if the nazis knocked on your doors anne frank would be fucked
That's not true - if she played her wildcard, she could get rid of the rags out of her fantasy team all in one go, and then I bet she'd get another chance.
apparently theres a few pages in her diary about that time she kept shearer as captain while he was injured
she was shit at it
Even worse when it came to the World Cup one...
I miss the old board :'(
