Forum Maintainance Tonight

Trouble in Paradise

Brandon: Hmmm... Image uploads of greater than 4MB are broken. My camera is set for 4.4MB images and they fail to upload; if I reduce the file size in Photoshop, no problem. Might want to check the PHP settings to see what the max upload size and what not are set to. Or could be a GD library or Image Magick setting on the new server. Full size images used to upload fine on the old server.

Brandon didn't change anything like that AFAIK. Were you uploading that size before?

Thanks for letting me know, this is a stock php-fpm install and I haven't had a chance to make uploading options more sane. I'll have it fixed by tonight.


EDIT: all set

I just tried to upload a picture, it failed to upload.
Before, the forum would resize it when it was too big..

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yep - for sure. B's working on it.

 

[Bermy]

Ok, good to hear.

 

[Stumpshot]

Yes, stock PHP is 2MB uploads, if I am recalling accurately. My camera is an older 10MP model, but yields 9MB images by default. I generally have no need of that much resolution for anything I am doing, so it is set for 4.4MB per image. I for one can't imagine needing to upload more than a 5MB image to the forum, but maybe some of these whiz kids with their HD and 4K gear will have stills that are up there in resolution.

We have about a dozen chickens. I cannot help but watch their behavior. When i come into the pen they run around frantically like 'henny penny' in the children's fairytale.
I noticed on fbook that some members acted like my chickens when they couldn't log on to the treehouse.
Made me laugh

K boss i found my password finally... the recover password prompt didn't send it, just fyi

 

[MasterBlaster]

If it's ever a problem just contact me and I'll hook you up.

For me, knowing you Fran's are on Facebook..........well that made me laugh.

Brandon: Good to see some https action going on via Let's Encrypt (the wave of the future, after all)! Only thing is that it's showing mixed mode because of a lot of http-served images. Perhaps need to do a database sweep for absolute links; could make them relative so they aren't protocol-dependent.

Lol it went over my head like a satellite

Yes, it takes a certain pair of antenna to receive that broadcast!

Yeah I noticed on Friday - Along with images/icons that are served with absolute links, there are a bunch of effed up templates that I'm trying to fix in order for all content to be served correctly. Even after fixing some existing absolute links and forcing the templates to recompile, it's still serving them non-https and non-www. There must be another place that is affecting it.

The recover password didn't do anything for me either.

I finally remembered that the password was case sensitive, so now I'm back

There may be issues delivering to certain mail providers like AOL or Hotmail - will try to move mail delivery to another service.

 

[Nutball]

I just saved my new password email and copy and paste whenever I get logged off.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Mail???

 

[Stumpshot]

Brandon: Are you using the PHPmailer function or delivering out via SMTP? Sever have a static IP, or shared? Have you checked the server agains the Multi RBL lookup? I also like this Reverse IP check to see how good the company is on a shared host. A couple of times I've been on a shared reseller server with some questionable (Nigerian and XXX sites) with a poor reputation.

It's hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet and sends mail via PHP. I run another forum off of this server, but that forum uses SMTP to Amazon SES to send mail, so I haven't had any issues with deliverability in recent years. There shouldn't be a reputation issue with this IP in general, but it's possible that some mail providers take issue with all of Digital Ocean's IP ranges. I am going to try and get this forum switched to SES or another SMTP service, hopefully this week.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Can one of you dumb down an explanation of this? I had no idea of any mail option/whatever.

I'm just a climber.
