Preventing accidental deletion of my Forum Profile / disable delete button
Design and Skin Customization

I actually did it from the command line - but yes - you would just go into the set you want to restore from (i.e, the hour and time you want to restore from), put a checkmark in all the PROFILE and FORUM tables, then restore. Then run an integrity check and reset caches.

Ensure APCu functions have been enabled in your PHP install
Design and Skin Customization

So this is where it can get more complex depending on your setup. Since you are only seeing 1 user, it means the IP address for all your visitors is the SAME, which means your web server is not forwarding the IP address of the user over to your PHP install as $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] - so you need to have your web admin ensure the remote ip address is coming through. If the web server is behind any kind of proxy, then the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header needs to be set as well.

Thanks Brian
The issue seems to be something in my /store folder. When I shut it off my main public.html site goes down
I am seeing a Fatal Php error in the /store logs- not sure why the store would take down the main site- but I will work on that php php error
Thank you

Yeah - I saw your error log post before you edited it, and it was issues coming from the /store directory, so glad you found that.

Thanks!

System Tools Errors
Installation and Configuration

These binaries have been specifically compiled to work on a very wide range of Linux OS's and versions, so no - we can't provide them in a different format. That answer also does not explain why it is working on one of your sites and not the other if they are on the same server?

Tag and image links still apply long after being deleted
Using Jamroom

lornawebber:
This issue needs a bit of explanation...
I have noticed that when tags are deleted from an image, those tags are still associated with that image long after they have been removed. The image will be presented in a search even if those tags were removed from the image weeks ago.
I discovered this because we require artwork images to have a photo reference link and I have been tagging "nolink" for those that don't. When I search "nolink" to follow up on these images, I get ones that have since been corrected and had that tag removed.

I've tested the tag deleting here, and I'm not seeing any issues. Is it specific tags that you are seeing this for?

Quote:
Similarly, regarding the url scanner providing linked thumbnail images: Artwork images have a link to the reference photo in their Image Caption and this generates a thumbnail of the artwork on the photo image page. It has been reported that if the link on the artwork is changed, the original photo still shows a thumbnail of the artwork, months later.

What is the mechanism for resetting this kind of link so that the site shows current settings?

Right now I believe this is an automatic setting - it's checking I believe 100 URLs either hourly or daily - it's probably way too small to be able to keep up with the number of images on your site. I'll look into making that a configurable option.

Let me know if that helps.

Anyone Know What This Means.........
Using Jamroom

I have never seen this before - could just be malware bots "looking" for that file by scanning thousands of domains.

Litespeed /mariaDB got everything in the dashboard working again....but even with MariaDB my score is 200 and a 40 for the DB...still trying to resolve that...

So:

MariaDB = fork of MySQL
LiteSpeed - fork of Apache

Just changing to MariaDB will buy you a little speed (since it's a bit faster in SOME ways than MySQL). I can't speak about LiteSpeed since we don't use it.

I would not expect just changing to MariaDB to do anything much for speed - sounds like you need to optimize your database config. How much memory do you have on your server? What does your current /etc/mysql/my.cnf file look like?

syntax error
Installation and Configuration

If all you are putting in is that text, then yeah - something is wrong - shouldn't get a syntax error with just text.

Song Upload Message
Suggestions

Dazed:
Hey Brian - If I refresh the page, the song appears. It has been this way for years.

OK - maybe I'm not understanding the issue then - you said that message would just stay there forever, but then you said if you refresh the page the song appears...

Song Upload Message
Suggestions

Dazed:
When you upload a song you get a message, "This audio file is currently being processed and will appear here when complete." The problem is this does not change and if they sit on the page, it will stay this way forever.

Is there a solution (like ajax or something?) that can determine the song is complete and reload so the song appears?

If that message is staying that way forever, then there's a problem. As soon as the audio file is done converting the cache for the audio item is reset so it will no longer show. I've just tested here and don't see an issue, so make sure your conversions are actually completing.
