Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?
Jamroom Hosting
Clay, I was getting those warning s from arvixe as well- twice already. Why? because I had to upload a fresher Ning archive to import it onto my site before deleting the older ning archive. Duh. "Unlimited" apparently means anything but that.
Anyway, yes it helped a lot when the Delete duplicate files Tool was run, and I also was able to then delete my older ning archive once the new import was finished (I imported using delete/replace option)
I find it so ridiculous that Arvixe themselves is upgrading you to a more expensive server of theirs, and while doing this they are sending you usage warnings. wtf? The dog doesn't know its tail is wagging?
Soaring- if you are using the import tool from the past month or so (not the original version), then you should NOT delete the Ning Archive. The best you can do is run the duplicate file delete tool, which will help a lot. But the Ningarchive folder will reamin holding files that are referenced and needed- like jpgs that are embedded in your forum posts for example. If you delete the ningarchive, you will get thousands of broken links to non-existant files. We are 'stuck' with keeping the Ning archive folder on our sites, as long as we want to keep older content from our ning networks functioning on our site. But after all, if you want a resident thing to show on your site, you've got to have it on your server somewhere. Happily, the delete duplicate Tool removes the duplicates between the ning archive and the JR Media folders. (except maybe that profile avatar image issue brought up in another thread here- but that's a whole different case)
Soaring, wow yer BIG MASSIVE GIGS are so scary. (insert eye roll smiley) Hey I know you don't believe in clearing out old content on your site, like ever, but between that and the gazillion piggybacked site features and resultant problems you are juggling and futzing with...well no offense but you are sure taking a whole mess of space at the buffet table. Just sayin, buddy!
