Not started yet, family commitments. Another 30-40 mins before I lock you all out...

Hey chaps

Well that all went remarkably simply (obviously down to my immaculate planning and implementation…). ;)

Domain moved over within about 20 mins, DB copied over fine and we're all good.

Stats taken before and after show the same number of users/posts/threads, and Terry's final post before I locked the board down was still the final post when it was all moved over, so I think we're good…

Let me know if you find any oddities, but I really don't think there should be because as previously stated, no content has changed.

Cheers
Mark

At the risk of TMI, my nocturnal visit was bladder related. :lol:

Well, it wasn't that smooth for me.....

My desktop shortcut, and my favourites/ bookmarks link, both took me to a holding page (300 multiple choices.....here: index.php) so for a couple of days I have thought that you guys were struggling. I have only got here eventually via Dogpile (some people use Google for the same job, I've heard).

Interesting Mike as I did not have to change my bookmarks at all. Makes me wonder if there are others with the same problem.

This seem very strange Mike? Three PCs and my phone all needed no changes to bookmarks to access TWH2 post host move. The URL has stayed the same. Only the DNS servers would have needed to be updated and they live at your ISP and beyond in internetland.

Glad that you are back anyway.

Hmmm, that's not good. Did you get an email from the forum Mike?

I sent out the following to all members upon completion:

All

Apologies for the mass email but I just wanted to let you know that the
forum upgrade is now completed and everything appears to be working as
before.

You shouldn't have any issues with it but if you do then clear your browser
cache of all cookies and entries related to thewoodhaven2 and that should
reset everything.

Please let me know by email if you have issues and I will do my best to
help out, admin@thewoodhaven2.co.uk

Cheers
Mark (TrimTheKing)


I received it so I know it went out, but did anyone else?

I use a near defunct gmail address for forum sign-up stuff, and haven't checked it. I would never think to, frankly. So that's my fault......

I have now reset my bookmarks etc and all seems well.

OK< I've just found that page again which I saw constantly for 2 or 3 days. If I click on Board Index, left, above User Control Panel, I get directed to this page:

http://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk/index.php

It headlines as "300 Multiple Choices" and then says:

Multiple Choices

The document name you requested (/index.php) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.
Available documents:

/index.html (common basename)

Mike, I don't get that at all. Try clearing your cache and repeating the test.

I think you must have something historic stored there.

I'm really reluctant to clear my cache. That causes all sorts of problems, suddenly being unable to access stuff......

OK Your choice but it means you access the wrong things instead.

I just use ctrl F5 and it does not hurt really!

What browser you using Mike?

You don't need to completely clear your cache, you should be able to just clear all entries relating to here.

Are you still having problems or were you just trying to recreate the issue?

Gspit chrome. Opera stopped allowing me to make attachment to emails.

I wasn't trying to recreate the issue, I was trying to navigate to the index page.

Okay, well it's caching the wrong thing then. Can't do anything for you unless you clear out the entries for the forum from your cache I'm afraid.

Another way to get to the index page is by clicking on the forum banner. Try that and see if it resets the cache page...

Cheers
Mark

That suggests you have something much more wrong with your computer. Cacheing is simply there to speed things up. If you cannot access something unless it is in your cache then....well, I'm not sure but it ain't good.
