Title: Christmas came early!
Post by: Shrike on April 23, 2002, 03:35:45 am
Ah, a shiny new server.... soon, HLP is going to be moving all of it's dynamic content (CGI, PHP, etc) to dynamic4.gamespy, which is going to make life easier on us.  While you guys won't notice any changes other than the server name, behind the scenes we'll be able to use even more PHP scripts than we already have.

It's great I tell you.  :cool: :cool:

We might even mask it for you so you don't even need to remember the dynamic.gamespy.com address; simply www.3dap.com/hlp/forums or www.3dap.com/hlp/art... so yeah, this is a real good thing. :)

Really, that for everything. That way you won't need to fuss about us being on dynamic4.gamespy. :nod:

So there is nothing new which we will notice in 2.2.5 version compared to the 2.2.2? Well, good that it makes admins life easier. ;)

Hmmm.... Well, cool although I don't know what these PHP scripts are.... if they make it cooler :cool: I'll give it a :yes:

by the way: the cookie login system doesn't seem to be working very well, is it a slight side effect of the move?

Great to see home up and running. :)

I'm heading out on a camping trip, but I'll be back soon! Promise! ;)

PHP scripts?  They're what runs the board, the array.... lots of stuff.

And the cookie login problems might go away, I've had it happen to me before at other boards.

I know what PHP is, just not what the particular scripts are :p

The cookies are associated with the old domain name, not the new one so you should get a new cookie when you log in. :)

Edit: Automatic log-in seems to work once you log in at the new address. And BTW, if you want to use any links (like forum post links) copy them to the address bar and add a 4 after Dynamic and the link should work. :)
Example:
dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=7
dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=7

More dynamic.gamespy vs dyanamic4.gamespy stuff. It's trying to load the pictures off the old server. :) Also, the art avatar buttons (or whatever it's called) point to the old server as well. Same thing with the E-mail topic responses. Too bad someone couldn't just do a find and replace for dynamic.gamespy on the server's files. :)

Indeed. Not only are they referencing to pics that aren't there anymore (moved to the new server), the display script is also on dynamic4. We have some cleaning up to do. ;)

If several things can go wrong, then it'll happen in the worst possible order - Extended Murphy's law

Just thought it would be fitting. :p

Wait! Perhaps... it's that Christmas came LATE! Did HLP get anything last year? It might be carried over from then! Or even before!

I think we need to appoint a team of staffers to investigate this more fully.
