Re: New Server

very smooth....I tried to get a coupe, guys  to move thier games here.. One guy did,  one gut went to another site.

 the other  site is painful..sure?..its only seconds for the screens to change.. but its  minor  league compared to RPOL...

 Great  Job Jase and   Mods!

Re: New Server

Thanks all.  The new server is running of SSD drives which I think is making a huge difference.

Character descriptions should be working again, finally found the teensy rogue issue.

Re: New Server

Dunno if it was asked before (did a search for SSL and didn't find much). Should the certificate be working for the main site now or is that something that will come at a later date? Asking because I'm getting the 'not secure' warning from chrome :P.

Re: New Server

I have a friend who is trying to sign up, but reporting that they did not get the confirmation email.  I know this was an issue recently, and I wonder if it could be related to the migration.

Any suggestions for them?

UPDATE: Issue has been resolved by an email refresh.  Carry on, adventurers!

Re: New Server

Another bug is that removing a game from your list takes you to a blank version of the main menu with no links.

Re: New Server

Since the migration I am not receiving e-mail updates. The last mail I got was on the 30th at 12 GMT+2. I did not change anything about my e-mail schedule and, yes, there were several game updates since then. :)

I was having a similar issue a few minutes ago, but logging out and logging back in fixed it right up.

Re: New Server

I was  just short of shutting  down hot  and cleaning out stuff, since I took a few surveys  while I was  waiting..seems ok  now.

 I am a bit spoiled  by my players though, the 'main game' is always active.. and I have a couple folks from England/Scotland that normally post in the  early morning( for me)

 again?  we'll see, I  copy and pasted the notice  for the Migration, I am certain  all my players in all my games  will find  another path that will 'settle in'  once the dust settles.

Re: New Server

SSL/HTTPS should work for rpol.net, www.rpol.net, m.rpol.net plus the temporary new.rpol.net.  If you're using anything else for the address then it will give you a certificate error as it won't match  IE6 will also have issues, but that's too old to worry about.  The certificate gets an A grade on SSL Labs.

Emails should work again (signup and notifications).  There were a few email setup steps I'd neglected to do..

Removing games from the main menu should now work.

Wiki should also now work.  Forgot the old website had some rewrite trickery to make simple URLs load a more complicated one.

Let me know if there are any other issues, not sure what to make of those other odd game issues, that was the middle of the night here.  Just let me know if it continues to happen.

Re: New Server

Just switched my link from http://rpol.net/ to https://rpol.net/ and Firefox is no longer warning me that the site might be unsecure, so that's a win.  :>

Tested removing game from main menu and that worked too.

*** BUT *** my link to my own game wiki is taking me to the main RPoL wiki page instead ... and when I look at the List of Game Wikis it's not listed.

I too am getting the main wiki page instead of the 404 error now.  Still no sign of what I posted on my wiki when I click the Game Wiki link.

Re: New Server

Was the long 404 error set yesterday due to the new host or some other cause? Is there anything we can do to help prevent that again? More donations?
