New Server
« on: April 28, 2012, 09:32:15 AM »
Most of you should now be seeing the site via the new server, which was put live yesterday. 

Certain performance settings may still need to be tweaked and we would appreciate feedback on how you"re finding the site performance throughout the next couple of days.

Thanks,

Des.

It still throws me the odd CGI Error but that may be down to browser caching.

Fingers crossed.

First time i been able to get on for the last 4 hours.

So for me it"s far worse than before.

I have been unable to access the new server at all.
Have managed to get the forum via Google but not in the way I used to.
Do I have to do anything or will this CG misbehaving sort itself out? Frustrating.

CGI naughtiness more apparent today unfortunately Des, had it once yesterday first accessing the forum then it was fine after the inital refresh of the page... today getting it lots :(

Couple of pointers for the switch it off and back on guys...


Possible solution 1 :

1) Set
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Script Map]
".php"="your path to php\\php.exe"

2) ensure there is not a php.ini in the windows system folder and that there is one wherever you"ve put PHP

3) edit php.ini and set cgi force redirect to 0 and
cgi.rfc2616_headers = 1

4) Put the PHP scripts in their own folder underneath the inetpub root

5) Open the IIS console, right click your new php folder
In the Directory tab
set application name to the name of the folder
set executable and script as permission
set application protection to low
Click configuration and check that .php is mapped to wherever you put PHP

Restart IIS



Possible solution 2 :

Install PHP under IIS as an ISAPI module and not as a CGI processor



Possible solution 3 :

If running PHP version 4.3.3, upgrade to latest as it seems to be a common problem under this version

How did you all manage to post yesterday, when I couldn"t access the forum at all? I did get the main site up twice, but couldn"t access the forum from there either, so was surprised it came up now and more surprised to see that people had been posting yesterday.

I pretty much agree with Phil"s post above regarding the php.

Failing that, I suggest hitting it with the largest hammer you can find.

That may not improve the situation, but will make you feel a whole lot better.   ;)
