ryan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just wanted to let you guys know that we're moving all of the ProcessWire sites to a new web host today around 12pm (noon), EST. Our new dedicated server is from IBM/Softlayer, and this is going to be a really great upgrade for us. I'll cover more in this week's blog post, but wanted to give you a heads up that things will be switching today and there may be a brief period of down time. I may take the forums down for a bit when the change is taking place so that we don't have messages getting posted on one server and not another while the DNS updates. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 All switched! Please let me know if anyone runs into any issues. The new server is quite a bit more powerful than the previous, so hoping you might notice a speed difference too–I sure do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Noticing a huge difference in speed here; all my earlier issues are gone now and the forum feels extremely slick. Not sure if it's server location or increase in resources, but I'm quite happy with the switch. Twitter feed and at least one profile pic missing, though I guess you're already on that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Maybe not related but I've noticed my last submitted module (Image Marker) was approved but I didn't get an email notification like usually happens. Thing is I don't know whether that was pre- or post- the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 There are still a few little things to work out, but we're mostly there. The biggest one I'm aware of at the moment is that forums have no outbound email. It turns out we're required to use an external SMTP server in this case, so working on setting that up. @kongondo I've been messing around with email settings on the modules site this last week, trying to get it working with Mailgun, and decided to just wrap it up once everything was transferred. Outbound email should start working everywhere again hopefully by tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renobird Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Wow! There is a very noticeable difference here. Everything feels extremely snappy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrura Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 running crazy fast here (in the heart of IBM-land) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renobird Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 http://modules.processwire.com/ 404 on some CSS here. This is crazy fast, and sets the bar super high. I'm now sad about all my hosting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rockett Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Even feels somewhat faster here in SA. Awesome! That said, it'll more than likely load faster once our Fibre is enabled next week - currently using wireless broadband, which is a tad slow where I live.

matjazp Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The forum is faster here in Slovenia too,14 hops. http://d1juguve2xwkcy.cloudfront.net/assets/pwpc/pwpc-b8594d04ae7b74395f137a08f185ce7577edffa6.js is missing in http://modules.processwire.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Saw some missing CSS files on modules directory too, but a refresh seemed to fix the situation. Could be browser cache, or perhaps something was a bit off with CloudFront after the switch. Not seeing any of those now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin S Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The old wiki seems to be unreachable now. Google shows links like http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Module_Creation but they just redirect to the PW home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 On pages like the older images doc, there are links at the bottom (RELATED FORUMS THREADS) in the form of: .../index.php/topic,97.0.html Don't know if those were working before the switch, but now they don't. Also I know that we have the brand new Docs, what are very fast growing! Just wanted to mention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuruMeditation Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Also I know that we have the brand new Docs, what are very fast growing! Just wanted to mention. On the subject of the docs, I noticed that there is a typo on the following page http://processwire.com/api/ref/page/status/Under the "See Also" section at the bottom, Page::addStauts() should read Page::addStatus(). Also the link is wrong and should be http://processwire.com/api/ref/page/add-status/ instead of http://processwire.com/api/ref/page/addstauts/ I thought I'd mention it here rather than opening another thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rponte Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 where can I find the old wiki.processwire site? it looks like it's down... http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Simple_News_System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Seems to be not down but empty if you look here: http://wiki.processwire.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 All the language sites should now be up too. i.e. de.processwire.com and so on. wiki.processwire.com didn't survive the server change. Somehow its database had grown to multiple gigabytes, and it appears that it may have been hacked or something. I've lost trust in MediaWiki for our use. Since everything on there is pretty well out of date at this point, we opted not to copy that over to the new server. We could spend days trying to figure out why a small wiki had a 3.5 gigabyte database, so I figured we were better off without it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Agreed that we don't really need the wiki that much. Still, I'd suggest rerouting the queries there to some other location on the site. Having an empty directory listing there looks a bit weird 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 As a fast and intermediate solution, maybe a small link list with our other, up to date Sections? https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/ https://processwire.com/talk/forum/13-tutorials/ https://processwire.com/docs/ https://processwire.com/blog/ ... (I must admit that I never was on the wiki.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragan Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 @nazim13 uhm, are you sure you posted in the correct thread? What you posted here seems totally unrelated to the original subject... (and also... two years later?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
