Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Hi, Since I had to accelerate the move to the new server and wasn't able to test as thoroughly as I'd like, there will almost certainly be bugs and issues. Please list them below. Many thanks for your patience. Ones I know about already: Tapatalk doesn't work. This is unlikely to be fixed until autoshite.com is back in service. Pound signs render as A£. The is a byproduct of the DB export > Import and conversion to UTF8 process. Newly added symbols seem to render fine, it's the existing ones. I'll address this is possible. The three links in the header: ROFFLES, FOR SALE and Open Forums link to autoshite.com Magnificent Rustbucket, KruJoe, barefoot and 1 other 4
Stanky Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I noticed that the Arabic characters in Lord_Sterling's signature don't render correctly either - related to #2 and UTF-8 or UTF-16 I suspect. *edit* - 'contactus' link in the bottom left of the page is broken too. Possibly remove it?
eddyramrod Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I've just updated my Rover thread, with pics, and had to sign in again to make the system accept the post. Is this an issue that needs looking at? Edit: but this post came up fine straight away.

spartacus Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 On android the box in the top right hand corner is missing, where you access messages etc.

Eddie Honda Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Tick/cross and four squares graphic at the very top right all working again in moby view. Ta very much. mk2_craig 1
Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2017 Author Posted June 2, 2017 There's hard codes links to autoshite.com all the way through the templates and CSS. I corrected a few of them but obviously didn't get them all. That's just reminded me, all the notifications are going to be pointing back to autoshitetest.co.uk. Back to the database I go!
SiC Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 If I goto Autoshite.com (i.e. root), it redirects me to http://autoshite.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2017 Author Posted June 2, 2017 If I goto Autoshite.com (i.e. root), it redirects me to http://autoshite.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi I had that earlier on mobile, and I think it's a cached redirect in browser. The reason I say that is because cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi is a cpanel thing, and this site isn't running cpanel any more, and none of the cpanel config came over in the server move. We are now cpanel free. I suspect if you try in a different web browser that you've not visited autoshite on during the outage you won't get the same behaviour.
SiC Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Possibly/probably. Makes sense if so. However others will be finding the same. Is it possible to put a small script up to do a 301 (not 302) http redirect?
Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2017 Author Posted June 2, 2017 The notifications should be fixed now.SiC: I think that risks sending anyone affected into a redirect loop. Out of interest if you visit http://autoshite.com#something does that redirect you?

Out of interest if you visit http://autoshite.com#something does that redirect you?Yup. A redirect to http://autoshite.com/forum/3-autoshite/ should be alright and not end up in a loop - especially a 301 redirect.

Magnificent Rustbucket Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 That gets me here too... I am also getting that - I needed to click 'Autoshite' on the top bar to get in. The site does seem to be a lot faster! Rod/b 1
Stanky Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Can you try it going to www.autoshite.com either a different browser or an in-private session to see if you just have cached bad data please both?
SiC Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Works in incognito mode, so looks like to be cached. I imagine that cPanel must have set a 301 redirect from the original homepage when it was down, with the cache-control header sent to a long time. I wonder how many people think AS is still down when they get the 404 page coming up when going to the root URL. Stanky, Slartibartfast and DeeJay 3

Pillock Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Tapatalk. It's working (quickly!) to read posts, but all pictures come up as broken images.Doesn't matter if I'm at home on the WiFi or using 4G, every single picture is busted. If I go on the mobile website, all works fine.
brandersnatch Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 That's odd, Tapatalk is all good with me. One's too many, ten's not enough!
Pillock Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 It did it briefly a few months back (so before the server swap) but just on the eBay thread - it appeared then that it was somehow related to Autoshite fetching images from eBay and serving them up to Tapatalk. I dunno, I don't really know how Tapatalk works or why there would be a difference but for a week all the pictures in other threads worked, and eBay tat didn't. Now, it's all pictures in all threads that are busticated. I suspect it's not related directly to the server swap so I would assign a priority level of "Meh, whatevAr m8" to it but I thought with our super-whizzo upgraded admins, they might know what the craic is.

Slartibartfast Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 I don't but I'll investigate to the extent that I can. I've had it happen in the past as well but currently it's AOK.
Rod/b Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Have you updated tapatalk app? Worth trying (or deleting / reinstalling)
Pillock Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Try clearing the cache on the app.Well I'll be my uncle's monkey.That worked. Slartibartfast, mk2_craig, Stanky and 1 other 4
NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 This is probably user error, but how the hell did I end up on Dave's Den( Daveb47.com) ?I was looking at a thread on here then must have done something stupid or inadvertently brushed something on my iPad- I often end up clicking on user profiles by mistake due to sausage fingers.
