Server Upgrade

**Kong** · 04-23-2012, 02:03 PM

I upgraded the web server today. Hopefully it should mean less errors and faster page loads.

Let me know if you notice anything different - such as bugs, errors, less errors, faster or slower page loads, etc.

So far I have noticed it has been a bit faster than usual.

The games are on a separate server that was upgraded about a month or two ago.

The php server was upgraded about a week ago but the host that it was at sucked so I changed to a new host/server today.

The server last week and today are similar.

So hopefully over the past week you noticed that the site was faster and had less short outages - there were a couple really long downtimes last week.

And hopefully in the future you will notice that it is faster and less downtime and less server errors.

I found that when I use the search bar I get a blank page that says No input file specified.

But If I use the bottom search bar "search forums" I get results.

Where did you search? The top right search box?

When I use that box it takes me to "arcade.php?q=kong" which works. Your link is "action.php?q=kong". I don't know how you would have ended up on that page.

>cloudflare
>anycast

cool cloud bro

I'm doing some stuff in EC2 and S3. Kind of sucks to tell you the truth. EC2 can be slow sometimes.

Are you on the free version or are you paying for cloudflare ? Is it worth it ?

When I use the top search box it puts in the "action" and comes up with that blank white page.

**Kong** · 04-27-2012, 10:25 AM

Can everyone else try the top search box and let me know if they have the same problem.

@Fungusman
I tried EC2. In order for it to be useful you have to spend so much more money than what the same service would cost somewhere else. Not worth it.

I am currently using the free version of cloudflare. I'm not sure what I think about it yet. I will probably try the paid version next month to see if it worth it or not.

@Kong: No issue here.

**joz** · 04-27-2012, 11:47 AM

works fine for me.

**Tails** · 04-27-2012, 11:52 AM

Used Chrome not signed in and it worked fine too.

It all makes sense now, I started using RU a LONG while ago, but just registered and using it more because it wasn't working 100% at first, and I felt it was easier to just download roms.
Good to see the server is working well and, apparently, that's getting you more users.
