Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

freeflarum.com seems to be up. Maybe there are some server issues or maybe it's getting updated? Can't get too mad at @Sanguine being that it's free and awesome!

Frink Prosperous -V- Ebi FreeFlarum and most of its forums were down today since 2:37 UTC but the service has been restored. The cause was a sudden full disk, which happened so fast that the early warning system and the failure state occurred almost simultaneously. The cause was a infinite stream of PHP error messages such as:

PHP message: PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: driver in /public/vendor/illuminate/support/Manager.php on line 84
PHP message: PHP Warning:  Missing argument 1 for Illuminate\Support\Manager::createDriver(), called in /public/vendor/i

I suspect that it has to do with Flarum not validating input for the driver on the SMTP settings page.

Quick fix: disable logging for now.
Long term fix: validate cause and ensure input validation on mail settings page
Abstract fix: implement ring buffer for log files, so they never grow beyond a certain size

Sanguine Flarum not validating input for the driver on the SMTP settings page

Yes, that's a known issue; very frustrating because the user cannot restore the forum without editing the database manually. Validation might be problematic too because we're using Laravel and the mail driver manager is extensible..

Please note you already ran into this once ?

@Sanguine please change Russian LP URL (https://www.freeflarum.com/extensions) to

https://github.com/metastore-flarum/flarum-l10n-forum

@Sanguine Can you add this to FreeFlarum.com: https://packagist.org/packages/extum/flarum-ext-material?

The first theme served as an extension, I'm pretty sure people will love it on their forums.

Thanks to you I made this fan site : https://castleburn.freeflarum.com
Could you help me to configure my DNS CNAME to reach the right URL ?

I've put something like this :

Should I just wait ?

datitisev

kayoo123 That works, the only issue I see is that the SSL certificate is from FreeFlarum.
I'm not sure how FreeFlarum handles that.

PS: Amazing design! Looks DOPE! ?

kayoo123 Did you go to step #2 on FreeFlarum? ?

https://www.freeflarum.com/settings

After the CNAME portion, of course ?

Sanguine

kayoo123 But when I'm trying to add my domain into FreeFLarum settings I've got this :

Your CNAME is not correctly configured. Try removing all records except for 1 CNAME record (for the root). And then enter your domain at the FF settings. Nice forum btw!

datitisev SSL certificate is from FreeFlarum.
I'm not sure how FreeFlarum handles that.

It's auto-requested upon linking.

kayoo123

Are you sure that the redirection is ok ?
When you are going to https://castleburn.fr are you correctly redirect to https://castleburn.freeflarum.com ?

Maybe I'm too impatient ?

datitisev

kayoo123 That's not how CNAMEs work.
What a CNAME does is, in short terms, show the page that one would find at the URL it is set to.
For example, this wouldn't work, but if google.flarum.org had a CNAME to google.com, it would show Google's page.

And as Ralkage mentioned, you need to add your domain to the FreeFlarum settings.

kayoo123

Thanks guys, now I anderstand what is missing !!!

But when I'm trying to add my domain into FreeFLarum settings I've got this :

datitisev

kayoo123 Not sure how your DNS manager works, but I think you need to remove the A record and just leave the CNAME.
Try using @ as the subdomain as well.

kayoo123

I will !
Thanks for your help

Ralkage

Might also need to wait up to 24 hrs until it fully propagates.

But don't quote on that (that means you too, @datitisev ? )

Still not working on #step1...
When I put only one records CNAME (without subdomaine) to your host, I've got this pop message :
Failed to update zone RRset castleburn.fr. IN CNAME: Conflicts with pre-existing non-CNAME RRset

This is my BIND config :

$ORIGIN castleburn.fr.
@ 3600 IN  SOA ns0.online.net. hostmaster.online.net. 20180815035551 10800 3600 604800 3600
@ 86400 IN CNAME castleburn.freeflarum.com.

I just opened a ticket with my host-manager.

Awesome work, thank you! Got my very own forum in less than 3 minutes! ?

Sanguine

kayoo123 Bind software does not allow SOA and CNAME to co-exist for the same name. But perhaps Bind doesn't allow without a SOA record either, I'm not sure. If all else fails, you could try another domain provider? There are quite a few people who use their root domain with FreeFlarum. Or use www.castleburn.fr.

Sanguine
You're right, my provider gave me the same answer...
It doesn't matter at the moment. I'll use the www subdomain in the meantime.

Thanks for everything !
You guys deserve a cold beer ?

I receive a 500 Internal Server Error upon the click on the Twitter Login after configurating a Twitter App with callback to my customized subdomain and putting in API Key & Secret. Are there any common mistakes I could have made?

EDIT:
Ok, seems that Twitter needs https://mydomain.com/auth/twitter as a callback url.
