  1. I know it's definitely no one changing it as it won't let you save the settings if it can't connect to the search server! Bizarre. I can only think it caches the settings somewhere and it's reverted them.
  2. For some inexplicable reason, the forum software decided to revert to the old search server password. Despite that no one changing that setting. I've reverted it back to the correct new setting. Hopefully its set as I'm on the train and on mobile. Seems to have got rid of the errors for me though. Smells like a bug in the forum software. If it does it again, I'll have to file a bug report.
  3. I think we're stable now? At least I haven't heard anything recently that is proving problematic. I'll be decommissioning and deleting the old server in the next day or so, which will mean no going back. Any further questions are going to be best put in the main technical help thread here:
  4. Just given it another restart as it was reporting it was out of disk space (which is a lie). It stops indexing if it thinks it's run out of room, so I needed to give it a kick asap otherwise the search will have missing results. So a few people might have seen the "An error has occurred" at around 8:14am to 8:15am (it take a minute to come back up). I might have to upgrade the version at some point soon as that search server on as there seems to be quite a few bugs in the current version it's on.
  5. There aren't a lot but there a few of around here.
  6. You're not imagining it! I increased the size of the image shown inline with posts. The crazy thing is that it increases the quality of inline images while decreasing storage space on the server! Basically if the inline image is smaller than the stored image (like it was) then two images are stored. One low resolution thumbnail image and one higher resolution that you get when you click on the image. Where as now it's set to the inline image and click on image to the same size. Hence it doesn't bother with making that thumbnail image. The high res is exactly the same setting as it was before I changed it. 1280x1280 max from memory. (Hopefully that makes sense - just back from the gym & swim and my brain & body is mush)
  7. As @Nyphur says. Check to see which serial port it's using in Device Manager. Depending on the adapter, you might need to select USB in the config too. Is the adapter plugged into the car too when doing this? They get their power from the OBD port and won't switch on fully unless plugged in.
  8. This has always felt a bit lumpy on idle when sat at lights. Its worse when holding the brake pedal down. I think it might be the engine mount knackered or TADIS. However the spark plugs were of unknown vintage, so I reckoned it would be worth changing them anyway. A set of four NGKs were just under £40 from my local GSF. I wanted to get them from a major retailer to reduce the chance of getting fakes. All the plugs came out and were all pretty tight. I hate removing plugs that you have no idea when they've been out last. I've never broken a plug in a OHC engine and I don't ever want to! They're pretty manky and well worn to my eyes. While I had the plugs out, I decided a compression test would be a good idea. First thing was to stop fuel getting into the cylinders. Dave_Q suggested to me to disconnect the injector multiway. This is easy to get to on the front by the throttle body. Worked fine but just needed the codes clearing before the engine would run again. So what compression am I running in these cylinders? Bear in mind these are on a cold engine (60s run to move onto the drive), dry and 198k on the clocks. So between 195psi and 200psi (probably the accuracy of the gauge). I don't have the factory figured and I'm used to British Leyland lumps, but they sound very healthy numbers to me! Of course having no history, I don't know what degree it's an original lump. But I have no reason to believe it's been changed. I also changed the coolant tank and cap. I bought these when I have the coolant leak, before I had a chance to diagnose the source. Was a hope it was the tank/cap but ended up being the thermostat. I left it too long to send these back to Amazon, plus given I want to track day the car, it's going to get very hot and risk bursting the old, discoloured tank. It was only £20 for this Febi tank+cap anyway. I mean at the very least a new tank looks better in the engine bay! In other news, I tried sticking the headliner up with spray adhesive. This worked for about a week and looked passable. It's fallen back down again. I believe it's the foam backing that it sticks to and then comes detached again. I've noticed it smells more with the headliner down. I imagine the smoke has got into the foam backing (maybe why it's more likely to deteriorate?). I did enquire at a trimmer but they wanted £200 to replace it. I have seen foam backed material on eBay for £12 a metre (I think I only need 2 metres). Headliner spray glue for £8 a can. How hard can it be....? We'll find out soon! 😅
  9. This is the search server being a PIA again. It looks like its run out of RAM and bombs out. I've doubled the RAM allocated to it (new server has far more RAM) and we'll have to keep an eye on it to see if it still behaves.
  10. Ta for that test file. Its easy when you see the error as it happens and you can google it: 2024/03/16 21:10:21 [error] xxxxxx#xxxxxx: *xxxxxxxx client intended to send too large body: 1369334 bytes, client: x.x.x.x, server: , request: "POST /topic/57757-%E2%9D%97%E2%9D%97%F0%9F%9A%A8-major-autoshite-server-maintenance-and-downtime-completed-%F0%9F%9A%A8%E2%9D%97%E2%9D%97/page/3/ HTTP/2.0", host: "autoshite.com", referrer: "https://autoshite.com/topic/57757-%E2%9D%97%E2%9D%97%F0%9F%9A%A8-major-autoshite-server-maintenance-and-downtime-completed-%F0%9F%9A%A8%E2%9D%97%E2%9D%97/page/3/" Its this: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size Default was set to 1MB. Not sure why files above that sometimes work. Possibly because sometimes bigger uploads (or JPEG) are split into multiple requests? Anyway I've bumped it up to 128MB and what was set in the old server. I must have forgot to check that file settings when migrating over. TL;DR Should be working. Please check.
  11. There was an urgent last minute patch (according to Invision anyway) that went last night too. While it could be it, I don't think it would be. Would be handy to have a copy of the file so I can prod it in and watch the logs happen (hard to scroll through on a live site as a data is incoming).
  12. Okay it's what I thought according to this. That error appears to be a config issue on the web server side rather than the forum software. I'll check through the config later against the old and see if there is anything that I missed. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/465708-error-200-when-uploading-files/
  13. Hmm that should be fine. I'm not entirely sure why it's not working - the forum logs aren't showing any explanation why. This is a 10MB image originally (compressed to 200KB) and seems to have uploaded okay. But a JPEG not a PNG.
  14. Search had literally just finished indexing itself. Please could you retry and see if that sorts it?
  15. I'm out at the moment but I'll take a look when I'm back. Looks like the search server crashed and restarted itself. Not sure why but I think from the error is that it needs more RAM allocating to it. @richardmorris looks like the first image you was uploading was a nearly 5MB PNG. It should be possible (although not ideal for using that much storage as PNG aren't compressed!) but I think it might be the max size allowed is set a bit too low. I'll increase it anyway as JPEGs do get compressed and can easily be that big.
  16. That'll be filed under the "this forum text editor is shit" category unfortunately and highly unlikely caused by the migration. Refreshing the page often helps. I bloody hate the editor but Invision give you no other real choice. The editor is end of life about a year ago but they keep rolling on with it - presumably version 5 of the forum software might improve this?
  17. Old diesels are going to be pretty worthless to many soon. For me it's not worth getting a diesel as Bristol CAZ is £9 a day to enter. I go through it enough that the charge would get annoying. Especially when I can get a (more reliable/simpler) petrol for similar money second hand.
  18. How are we finding the server? Has anyone found that some stuff is missing? I intend to delete the old server and all it's storage later today or tomorrow (its costing double to have both around and running ATM). Once that's done, there is no way back or possibility of recovering anything that hasn't been transferred. Search indexing is currently at 74%. So another good few hours till that's finished. Once done, everything should hopefully be up to full speed.
  19. There is a certain amount of responsibility when you have access to these buttons!
  20. Welcome back! If you can read this then the migration is done and you're on the new server. The search is currently rebuilding, so you may find that doesn't work quite right. Usually that takes a day to complete. Please let me know if anything isn't working properly or anything appears missing (especially email notifications for hotmail/icloud users). A fresh backup is currently running which will drive the server quite hard. That'll take a few hours. Hopefully by tomorrow everything will have settled down and be up to full performance. For the most part, everything should be pretty much identical. It'll be a success if it is. Thank you for your patience!
  21. Well I've just come back from the gym and Mrs SiC is putting tea on (and baking a cake so it seems)
  22. Who books a meeting at work late on a Friday evening? FFS Anyway I'm off to the gym first and I'll kick it off when I'm back. Expect it to be around 6:30p to 7p. I'll give a 15mins to 30mins warning before I pull the plug just so anyone can finish writing up a post/PM they might be writing. Most of the time will be spend with me sat drumming my fingers waiting until the content is restored.
  23. Have you ever tried resetting the adaptations with the pedal trick? Apparently that helps a misbehaving box often. I imagine after a fluid change it would be beneficial too as the new fluid will have different characteristics that it would need to adapt to. I've tried it and didn't notice too much difference. My scantool has an option to reset adaptations but I'm a bit loathed to trigger that as it may be a bit more in-depth on what it resets. Maybe if the box was having constant issues I would but it's generally fine and perfectly usable as is, so I don't want to accidentally make it worse by trying it!
