CMS to Forum - any problems?

[speedway]

I am super happy with and won't be moving from ServInt. I have a Signature VPS @U$89.00 p/m running v4.1.x on nginx that serves between 700 and 1000 users each 24 hour period. Check them out, they are...

Thanks Trevor. I have to go upgrade my 3.8 forum to 4.0 before I can test the changeover but your info is useful nonetheless. Didn't even think about uninstalling the CMS and Blogs, with those done the...

HI peeps

I am looking to "downgrade" my CMS installation to a straight forum, mainly so I can use the CMS on another site. Can I simply replace the CMS files with straight forum...

[speedway]

Thanks Trevor, will try all that and see what happens. I know it seems to work on alot of VB4 forums I visit so it is probably my crappy install....

Think I found a bug.

Clicking on my username in a thread listing and then clicking on "View Profile" gives me a message: "This user has not registered and therefore does not...

Ok, sorted my problem out, may be of some assistance to you. In my case I am proxying apache with nginx and a cpanel update didn't add a required module to apache to accept the users incoming IP address....

[speedway]

Everyone, including me. I found a thread in the VB4 troubleshooting forum where someone has exactly the same problem, a sudden loss of login ability for everyone. The only thing that happened was cpanel...

Hmmm, I am having this exact problem with a 3.8 site - all the IP entries in the strikes table are the sites IP, not the users. By chance you didn't just upgrade your cpanel installation did you? Mine...

[speedway]

Thanks Trevor, forgot completely about tools.php! I did manage to get it to closed down, still trying to figure out why everyone can't log in now, it's filling up the strikes table!.....

[speedway]

I am having major login issues after upgrading PHP and I need to close my site so I get to the bottom of it. Being unable to login to the admin panel my only option is to manually set the flag in the...

Thanks Zachary.... but the phrase is actually there (checked the DB directly) and I had changed the attachment path both in the datastore table and the settings table. As a hack I changed the permissions...

[speedway]

Oh dear, the upgrade didn't go well. Copied the whole directory to another one, uploaded and overwrote all the 3.x files with 4x files and started the upgrade. First thing it told me was vbulletin_css...

[speedway]

Mark, can I ask what sort of back end you are running? Dedicated, VPS, shared? Mem available etc? Just visited your site and it is nice and snappy........

[speedway]

Thanks Mark, that is th sort of answer I was hoping for but I am still loathe to do it. I have tuned MySQL a little and am installing a better cache system to see if I can settle it down....

no-one?

I am having a few load issues with my VB3 powered forum so was wondering.... would an upgrade to the latest 4.0 version, along with all the tweaks by digitalpoint, perform better than my V3 forum? I...

Found the same on my Dad's Mac, just couldn't get Parallels to run properly and their interface is strange. May have been because I have been used to vmware but... vmware is a $120 or something from Apple...

[speedway]

I tried Parallels at one point but like where vmware fusion is going. Have used it since 2.0 and they have improved things quite dramatically. I suppose when it comes down to it it is a preference based...

Look into vmWare Fusion - it allow you to run *any* operating system along side OSX without rebooting. There is even Unity mode where you foreign apps windows show on the OSX desktop....

Ok, everything I have shows that page as fine, no overlap. FireFox 3.6.3, Safari 4.05 and Opera 10.10, all on OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3
