Profile Domain Module - Procedure not Recommended?


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:Well I wouldn't assign any blame just yet, as it remains to be seen what caused the problem. My friend actually didn't do the config, it was the top tech at the datacenter who has worked with server configurations for years. In light of that fact, I don't see my friend's competency (or lack thereof) as being the issue.

With your downtime being an hour I don't know if I would agree, but that's for you to decide :)

Quote:Well if that's the case, I had the @ host pointed correctly. Now all I see is - "The zone file is unavailable because the domain's set nameservers do not belong to this registrar."

Does this mean control has passed to the server and I must now get my host to set the a record to point to my domain's IP?

yeah this means your DNS is messed up for the "kenrich.me" domain. You've set your nameservers to SOMEWHERE else than your registrar (i.e. Godaddy) - you need configure your DNS at that SOMEWHERE else (i.e. set the A record to point to your Jamroom).

Contact your hosting provider about this and they can help (as they probably are running the active Name servers) - it's not Jamroom related.

Thanks!

Quoting text and Editing comments in forum posts


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Brian -

1) I am not sure how this could happen as the  is being inserted in the body of the quoted comment at the end of sentences with two or more spaces. That regularity makes me thing it's a scanner issue, not something I might have done in comment_form.tpl. I searched for an  in that form and it's not there.

There is no "scanner" - when you quote a person, the quoted portion is actually pulled from a hidden div on the page, so it's part of the template.

Quote:2) There's no redirect to the last page of comments - or did I misunderstand what you meant by redirect?

No I'm saying that what you're seeing is REAL and it is because right now the script will redirect you to the first page after you post. So in order to "fix" this it's going to require a module update. I've got a fairly long TODO list here, so it will be a bit before this is changed.

Thanks!

jimmyk:Sweet. I was planning on using it as a major selling point.

Yep - you should be able to do that!

Cloud requirements


Using Jamroom

DannyA:I want to clarify some requirements around the cloud components.

1. I understand you need to configure a mysql server for each of the additional cloud servers
1a. Is it safe to assume that it is not used for anything? e.g. the conversion client does not use the mysql server at all. its just there for installing the core files
1b. would it be possible to just connect them all to the same db and further reduce the footprint of the install?

It would be a mistake to assume MySQL is not used for anything - every single server will use MySQL since the core requires it, and all JR config is stored in it, etc. You need to have MySQL on EACH server - you cannot hook them all up to one server.

Quote:2. I understand we need the core and cloud files. But want to confirm we don't need the audio or video modules.

On the Conversion Worker you need the Audio and Video modules.

Quote:3. Does the hardware configuration have to match? I was thinking my master server has more memory than you conversion server (at the moment). This means that my maximum file size is larger on my main server. What happens if the conversion server tries to pick up a file that is too big for its current hardware?

You mean more disk space than you have? That would fail. If the RAM size on the worker server is smaller than the file the it will likely just be really slow and "swap". I'd recommend fairly beefy servers for your Conversion worker servers, and make sure you are running the same PHP upload limits on EVERY server in your cluster.

Quote:4. Which modules is it safe to disable from the core install of the client servers?

Which client servers?

Quote:5. Which modules in the core must be configured for quotas, etc? I am assuming nothing except the cloud modules, but I wanted to make sure.

Well it depends on what server you are talking about... On your main JR site you will want to configure quotas - on backend Cloud servers you don't need to worry about it.

Hope this helps!

Large Video Conversion - Time Out


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:Wow - guess what. The dang thing timed out again even at that limit.

The server company is asking what kind of settings the script is using for conversion and if we have memory coaching - "memcached" or "memcache".

This has nothing to do with conversions, so ignore them when they ask that.

Quote:He's also checking with the data center to see if there is a bottleneck hardware wise. I'm set to priority and overclocked, so it's not possible for him to assign anymore "juice".

I'm going to try a small vid just to see if something hasn't gone wrong with the conversion process altogether. I had tested before and a 3-5 minute music video, perhaps 30-50 MB in size converts in about 10 minutes.

Yeah if it is taking LONGER than 4 hours, either the video is extremely corrupted (and ffmpeg is basically "resetting itself" during frame scans many times per second) or your server CPU is just REALLY slow.

thechocolatelife:Michael -

Maybe, but it has shown up in the comments of more than one member and it's the same character. But I will pay more attention going forward to when it happens to see if I can find a pattern.

If you've customized the template, it could be you've added in a control character that is getting inserted.

Quote:Any idea on why I am not being returned the page the comment I am editing is on?

Because right now it just goes back to the topic - it does redirect you to the page.

Profile Domain Module - Procedure not Recommended?


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:The whole server went down for an hour OVER THIS INSTALL.

Seriously Ken - I'm gonna sound like a broken record but you need competent sysadmins. Sorry that they are your friends but they don't know how to properly support you, and you WILL have more issues - I'm certain of it.

Quote:So just to be crystal clear (and to eliminate registrar settings), can I ask the same question again. Should I set @ host to point to the (root) server IP (66.35.93.162) or the JR5 dedicated IP (66.35.93.163)?

Like I said above, it needs to point to your JAMROOM install - so if that is on 66.35.93.163, then that is where it MUST point. Otherwise how is Jamroom going to see the request if you've got the domain pointing to a different IP ?

full gallery image download


Using Jamroom

The Gallery module already supports this, but it's behind a "key" based access and is used for the Adobe online editing.

We could probably "expose" that with a download button (similar to the audio/video module) and allow you to configure that in the Global Config.

I'll check that out.
