Re: REFRESH YOUR BROWSER
OK that was not cool...
I apologise for a few days of lost posts but after what I've been through I'm not sure I trust the backups anayway. If they are corrupted that would stick with the thing forever and a flakey forum we don't need... Anyway, to explain:
Made the decision to migrate to the cloud because my old (8 year old) Mac here at home is getting a bit long in the tooth. I'm trying to safeguard this club and its forum see...
Problem is I had drastically underestimated the resource this forum consumes from the looks of it.
A cloud server that costs me about $100 a month (including bandwidth) is in fact way way way too small to accommodate the club's forum, it seems.
Just crashed and burned. Several times over...
I know from my experiences at work that a server of similar grunt to the one I have at home here, costs about $1,000 a month if it's cloud based.
Long story short my attempt at setting the forum up on the cloud seems to have been a big fat whoops. So it's hosted here at home again. Which I'm not at all happy about any more cos this old Mac will fall over one day.
Meh.
That was a total waste of my Christmas holidays.
Time for dinner.

Re: REFRESH YOUR BROWSER
Well nice try Charlie and Im sorry it didn't work out the way you planned. Time to take a break and have a re-think. Maybe someone else has an idea?

Re: REFRESH YOUR BROWSER
I believe it'd work fine if I doubled the size of the VM on Rackspace but that doubles the price and I don't want to go there at this point.
I'll try a few things and see what I can do...

Re: REFRESH YOUR BROWSER
Yep my suspicions were correct:
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_cent ... ud-servers
Bunch of a-holes. Without a swap file you'd suffer crashes and have to buy a bigger more powerful VM instance.
OK, time for remedial measures...
I haven't played with a Linux swap file in 15 years but here goes...
