SKevo Sorry, it's been a bit since I've checked this thread. I tried yesterday and it still didn't work, I just tried again and it didn't work.

SKevo

SlickNicky10 what is your forum name and URL you are trying to CNAME to? If it's private, you can mail us the info

SKevo Update, I tried again and it works now.

If I ever want to take my forum to be self hosted...when I download my data and upload to my self hosted Flarum will my users have to re-sign up? Or will they automatically be added as members.

SKevo

aaronhall every data will be there - all users, posts, discussions, settings (basically everything that is stored in a Flarum database). So no, your users won't have to be signed up again - you download the dump, export it and you should be good to go from the point where you left

I have my domain through Google Domains. It is also added as an Add On on my HostGator. Do I need to remove it as an Add On if I want to use the domain on FreeFlarum?

Sanguine Now in China, the forum address is pointed to 157.90.175.185, and it will time out

SKevo

Silverteal yes, that's the new IP after we have migrated to a different server (still located in EU). But there shouldn't be any speed decrease in comparison to the server before.

We have already discussed a multi-server architecture to increase site loading speed for forums in China. This will require some work, effort and time to implement of course, and time is something we don't always have. Plus, servers cost money too.

I will do a page speed tests to see what can be improved. I have to note that it also depends on your network conditions and internet speed as well.

Edit: Yes, can confirm that China locations in the speed test don't seem to load at the moment (https://www.chinafy.com/tools/visual-speed-test?site=https://skeleton.freeflarum.com&network=WiFi)

Silverteal

SKevo Unfortunately, until now, freeflarum's forum service is still inaccessible in China. The speed test service https://tool.chinaz.com/speedtest/, which is commonly used in China, shows that it has timed out nationwide. But freeflarum.com is still running well, which allows me to download the forum database

My FreeFlarum is broken, how can I reach the support? info@freeflarum.com is invalid to send😬

meetdilip

cuongtran your forum URL please

cuongtran , how can I reach the support?

This is the official FreeFlarum support thread.

cuongtran

meetdilip my URL https://ghostfam.flarum.cloud/ site is broken after I take some changes on Categories Extension.

meetdilip

cuongtran did you try disabling the extension ? There is some backend changes, but this could be an extension related error.

SKevo

Hmm, for some reason disk usage is 100 % already?! Might be why your forum doesn't load. I'll investigate it...

cuongtran

meetdilip I cannot login as admin now. I should reset all extensions at FreeFlarum Setting?

meetdilip

cuongtran If you are not in a hurry, wait a bit. Once the backend changes are addressed, +CW_Kevo might be able to attend this issue like he mentioned in the above post.

Normally, when extension-related changes break a website, switching it off is a standard method in troubleshooting.

SKevo

I am expiring all stale forums now to save some disk space, until we identify which data takes the most space. This will take some time though

Edit: Helped a bit... we'll wait and see how much space we can free

Hello @Sanguine , @Antoine

I have a problem with Money extension. Indeed when I would like to enable it I have a red banner message "Oops! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again."

Any idea to fix that problem ? Thanks

SKevo

julienlg what's your forum name? Any errors in the JavaScript console? Was the error present before?

As for the disk space, today we have cleaned over 2000 forums, which freed the space by 50 %. So I assume that the high amount of forums was the source of the issue.

As this issue is hopefully out of the way for now, I think that we could update all forums to beta.16 (which we had in plan for today, but this little problem complicated it a bit).

SKevo

julienlg nevermind, I got it. Here's the error:

It's probably related to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22637733

Since I am unsure whether this has bugged out because of the full disk problem earlier this day, or it's a bug in the Money extension, I will try to tweak our configuration or see if it works on my forum

Edit: It does work on my forum. If it still doesn't work for you, I could restore a backup of your forum database to see if it helps, in case it bugged out when the disk was full?

julienlg

SKevo

Thanks for your reply. It's still not working.

I don't think it's a database problem because I tried 2 months ago and problem was same.

But if you want yes maybe you can test a restore to see, up to you.

Regards

SKevo

julienlg if it happened before, it is probably some kind of error in the extension itself, although I am not sure since it works on my forum.

I will try to fix it and let you know how it goes

SKevo

julienlg I think that I fixed it now by manually modifying the database, can you try it please?

Edit: our E-mails have been fixed too, so we can receive them again
