Re: [Freecol-developers] Website fixes

[winter]

As I tried to say, Stian or another inactive project member is controlling the domain records, which means it is not that easy.

Hi Winter,

 

You are worried about breaking the domain, there is an easy solution to that you would need to add a CNAME (Alias) record on DNS which will point to the .io site so if i go to the .org it would redirect me to the alias .io

Hi,

 

a few days ago when reading SF webserver documentation, I saw that you could switch over from PHP5 to PHP7.

It's just that we are completely HTML only without a single .php file remaining -- that's why I saw no use in doing it.

If you switch over the domain would change from .net to .io, possibly breaking our .org domain, depending on how it is configured. This might also break some direct links to the .net subdomain somewhere.

We would get https on the .io domain, but certificates are bound to the domain not ip, thats why I doubt it would work correctly on our .org domain.

There is still some old files on the ftp for the webserver in the directory above the htdocs directory for the website -- these will need a backup before a switchover!

I would not click the switch over button, without Stian and/or whoever controls the .org domain giving his ok.

 

Greetings

Lol, bizarre.

 

Yay for Yahoo filtering.

 

I don't know that the forums would be moved. 

I think we may just leave those as is on SF. overall I really don't see a need to transition absolutely everything over to github from source forge, just primarily the code base and the website. And also probably the ticket tracker to GitHub issues.

 

I don't really see a need to abandon SF entirely.

Quite so.  I wish people who want to move stuff around would
at the very least come up with a plan that includes the hard
problems, like how to move the forums.  The website is easy.

That is a timely remark.  Yesterday while I was trying to work out who has
permission to update the SF website I came across something new[1]:

                Your website is currently hosted at
                http://freecol.sourceforge.net with PHP 5.4

                To update to https://freecol.sourceforge.io and PHP 7.x, click the button below.
                There will be a small delay for it to take effect. You may switch back if needed.

I propose to click the button.  There is also some interesting stuff about
github connections which I have yet to read.  More soon.


And in the special D Blakeley section:-):  Blake, yahoo is not
accepting mail from my ISP, who are sending me messages like:

        This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

        THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

        YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

        Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

              <d_blake...@yahoo.com>

        The reason for the problem:
        4.3.2 - Not accepting messages at this time 421-'4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 150.101.137.19 temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster/SLN3434.html'

Given that I am with internode who have won a bunch of customer service
awards, and you are with yahoo, who... hasn't, I am guessing the problem
is at your end.  Now we just need someone to quote this email so Blake sees it.

Cheers,
Mike Pope
