Post by: Tony on April 03, 2020, 08:19:46 AM: Sorry it took so long. Acroprops and covid-19 got in the way. Now I've got an extra bedroom and a full 6yd skip that can't be collected!
Biopowered no longer resides on Linux PC at home (that was next to a now-removed wall) - that machine wouldn't boot up again afer being powered off. But the drives were fine. Now it's on a cheap vhost with some of my other sites.

Did you see that Rob offered a server over on VOD?
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Tony on April 03, 2020, 08:44:14 AM: Yes, which was a kind offer for sure. For me it's not the cost of hosting (I already had this cheap shared host for other, simple sites) but the cost in time figuring out how to get it all correctly configured. I'll see if I can get admin access for admin here on the vhost too, as I don't want to be solely responsible for backups/maintenance.

Well done to those that did it and please stay safe everyone.

Post by: Fluffle-Valve on April 03, 2020, 02:44:15 PM: Back in okay.
I'll try and post more now, instead of just lurking.

Post by: dgs on April 03, 2020, 06:21:00 PM: Hows yers all doing out there, keeping safe I hope. Nice to be back, well done Tony.

Post by: neisel on April 04, 2020, 02:32:01 PM: Good to see the site back online, thanks.

Is there a way to have the wiki & tools pages hosted somewhere separate so that should we lose the site they will always be available?
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: dgs on April 04, 2020, 05:33:13 PM: My Mrs has managed to get me back on. Apparently she ticked one of the un ticked boxes in the advanced settings re cookies and caches

Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: dgs on April 05, 2020, 05:36:09 PM: Back again.
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: dgs on April 06, 2020, 11:06:44 PM: Was off, on off on off then I've realised the special technique.

When I first get onto the forum, before I touch anything else (even though I'm logged in) I have to log out, then log in again, then it works.
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Julian on April 07, 2020, 08:48:44 PM: Ah, I can login ok on the laptop using Linux without needing to clear any cookies ... so why the difference?
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Chug on April 08, 2020, 08:36:37 AM: I logged in after 2nd attempt this morning, but I couldn't login last night and I tried several times.
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Jamesrl on April 08, 2020, 12:03:20 PM: I'm not any problems logging, I have change how I do it thought.

I've been clearing cookies via windows. This time I cleared cookies via the browser (MS Edge) and it worked.

Post by: Tony on April 09, 2020, 04:17:17 PM: There's something odd going on, but I don't know what...

Beginning to think I should install the forum software from fresh and then apply all the extensions we've added over the years.

Please don't alter things too much Tony. I've only just got used to my 'cock-eyed' way of logging on. lol

Post by: Julian on April 15, 2020, 09:33:16 PM: Logged on a couple of days ago to post that logging on seemed to be working ok and when I clicked "Post" it logged me out!

Let's see if it happens again …
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Julian on April 15, 2020, 09:34:16 PM: Woohoo ... it works!

Whatever you've done Tony, well done!

I have to log in the same way. When I leave it logged in and return later it has gone to “forbidden” but let’s me log in again from the wiki. This is on an iPad.

I've been trying to figure out why it's so stupid for days.

The cookie name in Settings.php matches the one in the forum GUI config.
I've turned on local storage of cookies and enabled database driven sessions. It seems to be better. Might help, who knows?

Post by: Tony on April 23, 2020, 08:37:34 AM: I'm going to go out on a limb and tempt fate, but logins seem to be fixed now.
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: neisel on April 23, 2020, 09:58:10 AM: It does indeed seem to be fixed now, thanks.

Is there a way the wiki pages & no titration calculator could be posted somewhere else in addition to on this site so they would preserved in the event we were ever to lose biopowered?
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: Tony on April 23, 2020, 12:27:11 PM: With the scripts, they are just JavaScript so easy to put wherever.

The wiki, maybe we can dump all pages to PDF or something?
Title: Re: We're back!
Post by: neisel on April 23, 2020, 01:51:21 PM: It would be a shame to ever lose the convenience of the no titration calculator & the knowledge & experience found within the wiki pages.
