OK! i finally got a file manager working! I dont know what the deal with the Invision Power File manager was but I finally gave up on it and got a new one off sourceforge. the new one took all of 3 seconds to set up and works perfectly.

anyway, anybody that wants an account just tell me. the new URL is www.earthforge.com/FM

andy, i'll go ahead and make you an acount.

[Andy.Davies]

i have had a look round that web panel thing, it is brilliant, nice an easy to use, and very quick loads on 56K

[CrimsonCasio]

ok... ive got another problem, folken alerted me earlyer of a problem he was getting saying he was out of space, I looked around and couldnt see anything wrong, however i kept seeing more things as I messed around with stuff that didnt make sense... anyway, this isnt a server problem (i think) and I have the tech support guys working on it, but for the moment you shouldnt try to upload anything or change anything, I'll let everyone know once its fixed

btw, so far as I can tell no site has any problems except the fcc which was in the middle of an update when this started.

[huhn_m]

well, you don't see any problems?

But I HAVE a problem!
Since yesterday all my e-mails that werein the account are GONE!
THey are simply not there anymore! Do you have any way to restoer them
since this is really ... well, lets say bad.

There is no "Delete ALL" button so I'm sure I didn't click sth. wrong!
And my addressbook is still there so It doesn'T seem like a total
server crash. Please help me!!!!!

[Folken]

any news ?

[CrimsonCasio]

hey guys, my host is going to restore a backup from the previous day so hopefully this will fix the problem, nobody seems to know what happened... I'll get back to you ASAP

[huhn_m]

the files were back again yesterday. Don'T know why and how
bt I'm glad that they are back.

[CrimsonCasio]

[calconeon]

Crimson, du you now, when your hoster update to php5?

Because I checked allready, wether my homepage go well with php5 and the result is, that the template system are incompatible. For this reason it would be good to know how much time I have to program the system new.

thank you...

[CrimsonCasio]

i dont know, I'll see if I can find out.

[CrimsonCasio]

my host says that they will only switch to PHP5 once it is recognized as a stable version. currently the latest stable version is 4.3.8

-----EDIT-----
some of you may find this handy: http://crimsoncasio.co.nr/test.php

[Roeoender]

Hello Crimson.

Guess what?
Yep, I'd like to create a web page that would describe my programs.
This would put some order to various distributions as I am bored
with writing those plain text readme.txts.
Currently I've got at home a digital camera so I would put some realistic photos/video clips of the programs in action.
So I hope it wouldn't be yet another page about casio.

Well how about it?

Btw It would be called CalcDev (hope no one uses it yet)
Roeoender.

[CrimsonCasio]

its about bloody time (to mimic andy)
I have some webspace with your name on it!

url: calcdev.earthforge.com
ftp: ftp://ftp.earthforge.com
login: calcdev AT earthforge.com
pass: (PM me one)

need anything else?

when did i say that???

Never, but your british (and it just so happens that I was thinking with a british accent at the time )

[Roeoender]

Wonderfull!

I've got holidays now and although I should start looking for real work I just can't stand writing something for the calc.

PM with passwd has been sent.

Thanks a lot
Roeoender.

[Maexxx]

** IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARD YOUR ACCOUNT **

Dear Valued Customer,

Account to be moved: earthforge.com
Account username: *****
Average hits to website during 1 month period: 382008
Plan name: L-Economy
Server name: venus

Your account has been selected to be copied/moved to a brand new server that is much more
powerful than the current server specifications. Due to your higher than normal resource usage,
we believe it will be beneficial for your site to be hosted on a server that has the capability,
redundancy and speed to cater to your high resource/bandwidth needs. You will notice significant
improvements in page loading, mysql database access times, reduced pop mail checking times and
much more!

Our new state-of-the-art server specifications are:
Dual Opteron 242 processors, 3GB DDR-RAM, Over 500GB of RAID-5 HD space, providing true
enterprise redundancy. All powered using DELL server class technology.

To prepare for the move, all you need to do is simply visit your domain registrar and change
*ONLY* the first primary DNS/nameserver setting on your domain. The first nameserver setting on
your current domain name should be modified to:

Primary Nameserver/DNS:
NS65.DNSPROTECT.COM
65.254.50.194

Do *NOT* modify your secondary nameserver/DNS. Just your primary.

Your account has already been scheduled and queued to be moved. We require you to update the DNS
within 72 hours. The move will take place this Wednesday 15, September, 2004 at 2AM (-5GMT).
Please have your primary nameserver ip changed as soon as possible. Once your new account is
setup, your new account details will be as follows:

--------------------
New Account Details
--------------------

New IP: 65.254.50.194
UserName/Login: ******
Password: *remains the same as your old password*

Your new site is accessible at: http://65.254.50.194/~earthfor/
New server name: SPEEDY
Document Root: /home/earthfor/

Services:

Control Panel: http://65.254.50.194/cpanel/
Webmail: http://65.254.50.194/webmail/
WHM: http://65.254.50.194:2086/
FTP: 65.254.50.194

Once your domain name starts resolving to the new server, you can replace the IP address with
your domain name.

--------------------
FAQ:

Q. What is required of me?
A. We require you to update your first and primary nameserver ip on the domain name shown in
this email address. Do not modify your secondary nameserver/dns ip address.

Q. Why just the first nameserver/dns ip?
A. By utilizing this method, we will prevent downtime. For ISPs that have the old IP cached,
visitors on these ISPs will be directed to the old site. For ISPs that have updated their DNS
cache, visitors will be visiting your site on the new server. Once the DNS cache table has been
updated across the globe, everyone will be directed to your new site. This method ensures that
at any point in time, your site will be accessible, thus preventing downtime.

Q. Will I lose any settings?
A. No, the tools we utilize will copy and replicate *everything* on your account. No settings or
data will be lost.

Q. When must I do this by?
A. We will be closing your old account within 30 days of this notice. Ensure you update your
*first* nameserver ip immediately. Do not change/modify your secondary nameserver settings/ip.

--------------------

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Your old account will remain on our old server for 30 days. After this period it will be
permanently removed from the old server. That is why it is *CRITICAL* that you update your first
nameserver/dns ip setting immediately. If you are unsure how to modify such details, please send
us your domain registrar login details (url, username, password) and our technical staff will
handle this for you. If have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you!

[huhn_m]

but crimson .. in fact this doesn't change anything to the earthforge hosted sites at all.

After you updated your DNS everything will be for us as before ... won't it.

So you just said this to inform us about eventuall downtimes that could happen though?

[CrimsonCasio]

yes, basically

also if you have shortcuts to your site like www.crimsoncasio.co.nr you can use them to direct people to the new account via the IP address. also, i would like people to watch things and see if they thing things are really faster than they were before. (or at least not slower)

[huhn_m]

OK I'll watch out

[calconeon]

Where is my Acount?

Thank you...

[CrimsonCasio]

we are in the middle of the move, use the IP address to access your new site for now (untill the DNS is updated)

[CrimsonCasio]

preliminary testing of server speed by the users of dysfuction.earthforge.com shows a HUGE increase in page load times (id say at least 10x as fast). has anyone else done any tests on their site?

[casiokingdom]

why isn't my site working?...all the other earthforge sites are. am i supposed to do something to make it work?

[genesis]

OK, a question I should have asked a long time ago:

Does EarthForge have a down time for maintenance and if so, when is it?

I'm asking because occasionally I am unable to access my account, but it appears to happen periodically. I think it's usually on weekends.

[CrimsonCasio]

kingdom: im not sure, it has something to do with the server change and its happening to all the sites periodically. im trying to find out why.

genisis: no, no scheduled time. though if my host did take it down for something I suspect it would be durring normal working hours in austrialia since thats where they are located. you and kingdom should have the best and fasted connection to it though.

[casiokingdom]

well, that's good to know.
btw, my site is working again but i do find it down occasionally.

[genesis]

I've been wondering, the past few times I've uploaded files to my site, it appears to have worked and like casiokingdom said, everything goes down. But after that, none of the things I uploaded is there (they sometimes appear about a week later!)

What do you suppose is meant by this:

An error occured while copying a file to the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to put files on the server.

Details:
200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
200 PORT command successful
553 Disk full - please upload later

I don't think the server is full!

[huhn_m]

are you sure that you on'T upload to the old server?
