New server for ghisler.ch

Post by *ghisler(Author) »

Since the forum has been getting slower lately, I have now moved it to a new server. The server is a root server at Hetzner in Germany, the previous server is a VPS (virtual private server) at Servint in the USA. I hope the new server can handle the peak loads better. Ghisler.com still remains on the old server for now.

If the text (old) appears next to the Total Commander logo, the connection still runs over the old server. But it already connects to the database on the new server and sees the same postings as the new one.

Please report here in this thread, if certain functions don't work correctly!

Next will be adding https support...

Ah, thanks, that's because I had set the forum mail sender to
"Christian Ghisler" <forumadmin@ghisler.ch>

instead of just
forumadmin@ghisler.ch

in the hope that Gmail would then let it pass (which it didn't). This created bad RSS XML output. After changing that it seems to work again.

The links to English and German forums there are HTTP actually; for French forum the text of the link has HTTP prefix, the actual link is HTTPS.

You have to make the https:// prefix in your bookmarks and it will be secure :)

AFAIR I asked you to ignore my posts, didn't I? But still you are posting these offtopic replies to my posts. So what is your problem?

No, I don't plan to restore the beta forum - it has not been in use for several years. All future beta tests will be public, so it's no longer needed. I have restored the database, so I can re-enable it whenever necessary.

Hello, Christian.
ghisler(Author) wrote:https is active now! https://ghisler.ch
I have ...
  • changed my bookmark to point to the https link.
  • cleared all the cookies.
  • cleared the browser cache.
  • shut down & started up again the browser.
  • I go to the https link. Fine. Works.
  • The moment, however, that I have logged in to forum, I drop back to http.
What could be the reason?

Regards,
Karl

It was a problem with the redirect() function, it always redirected to http. Now it should redirect from https to https and from http to http, e.g. during login or when clickoing on a "new post" arrow.

2petermad
The problem is: These are generated when a user posts. The way the user connects (http or https) is probably not the same as how the recipient of the notification connects to the board. Therefore the board doesn't know whether it should http or https links...
