Forum down

[Galapo]

Sorry for the inconvenience of the forum being down the last while (Dec-Jan).

Unfortunately this happened while I was away on holidays and not checking my emails.

Hopefully I have been able to fix the issues and things are back working.

Regards,
Galapo.

Discovered an issue upon updating the forum software.

Internal links don't seem to be working. For example, if directly entering a link into the browser does not open the link, e.g., viewforum.php?f=26. But if browsing there through the forum you can get to the link.

I'm currently stumped on this one.

Hi Galapo

Thank you for making the forum accessible again today.

Regarding:

Internal links don't seem ...

I can confirm this problem.

By the way: Yesterday I was still able to access the archive of the old forum "http://old.theoven.org/".
Today I received the following message:

might be as simple as caching or cookies.

ACP should have an option to purge cache or you can manually clear the /cache folder (it goes without saying don't delete index.htm or .htaccess). Otherwise I would start with the .htaccess file as that's usually where the rewrite rules get setup. compare yours with the .htaccess from the phpBB package. Otherwise the routing in phpBB 3.2+ is controlled by app.php (https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2349131).

Today I received the following message:

Yes, this is due to me removing all of the content. The hosting company decreased what was allowed on a free account and the old forum backup had exceeded it. I will make it available again when I get time to do that.

I've had more of a look at the issue with accessing forum links directly, but I can't get them to work yet.

This probably wouldn't be an issue if I was using a paid host. But I'm trying to save money by using https://www.freehosting.com
