Just curious...

Things are hectic here, gearing up for the holidays and all.

Hope you are awesome or working on awesome!

So Google has now released an "official" Chrome OS that can be installed on PCs. There was an unofficial version called Cloudready but Chrome OS Flex is actually from Google. I don't see a Dual Boot options when installing so I am running from USB Stick on a Dell Intel i5.

Looking forward to testing it as a daily. I do love Chromebooks.

The whole site is now running SSL. I followed this guide by digital ocean:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-let-s-encrypt-with-nginx-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-16-04

I was still getting an insecure warning in chrome but after using Chrome's inspector I found that it didnt like that all the attachments in wordpress were still using http. It gets redirected but it still didn like it.

Velvet URL Blues to the rescue:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
I must've used it once before since it was already installed but deactivated. Had it replace http with https and fixed the errors.

Then, this forum broke! All I had to do was run the repair_settings.php to update the URL to https. Here is a neat trick. I have the repair_settings.php file sitting in my dropbox. I SSH into my server and grab it with wget. Works like a charm every time!

I use an NGINX web server on my Ubuntu server and I kept getting HTTP Error when uploading images.

These links helped me fix it:
https://wordimpress.com/wordpress-nginx-http-error-on-image-uploader-fix/#comment-57740
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-on-image-uploader-1/

I had to edit:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

and add
client_max_body_size 100m;

to the http{} section.

I reloaded nginx with
sudo systemctl reload nginx

and the error went away.

the mailer should be working now. if you forgot your parseword you can get an email about it. It will probably go to your spam. I'll see about fixing that. If you're not getting it, email me digisal@gmail

So, almost a year ago I moved my site/blog/forums to Google Cloud Engine, see this post because my host powweb.com was getting pricey. I had 300$ credit with Google so that's where I went. I used up all that money and the hosting was going to be even more expensive so I signed up for Amazon's free tier on AWS. All my sites and this forum are now here. I never use this forum, it is just an archive of how things used to be. Maybe I'll post what I learned during the migration. Or maybe blog it? I dunno what to do any more lol

my sites hosted on aws now are:
www.digisal.com
www.digisal.com/smf
www.petitebaker.com

I also moved one site over to a free host to see how that goes.
www.salsholsters.com
That is hosted on Gwiddle:
https://host.gwiddlefoundation.org.uk/

Thoughts?

Since I migrated servers, and since the forum was an old version. It was easier to do a fresh install without any plugins/games.

I recently learned there was two martys!!

How's that ford holding up? lol I recently moved this board to a new server so reading up on old posts.

Hey Weave! I recently this forum over to a new server. Reading up on old posts. How you doing?
