It is running but now to fix all of the permissions. Let me put the first pot of coffee on and then I will get right on that.

This part is done there is still a number of tasks to do. Standby while I do the Media Import.

That part went faster than I expected. It is finalizing now.

Now the database is importing. This takes a few hours to complete.

Files are done copying and now we install the software.

Now the attachments start to copy.

216,000+ files

Once that is done I can run the script to import the new forums.

Images now copied off about 5,000 files in that folder.

Now coping the images to the new server.

We only just finished coping the attachment files off to my computer.

Now we copy the images folder

Once that is done we copy all of that to the new server.

Hours of coping left to go.

Only 146,388 attachment files to transfer...

Luckily I have been updating the list for days. There will probably only be a few files that need transferred. Unfortunately it has to process all of...

The announcement has been posted. Time to get things in High Gear.....

Well I still need the host to install our second IP Address. That should get done tomorrow.

Forum permissions were way off when Imported the database. The sub forums work for me. There must still be something wrong with your permissions if you can't get to them. Unfortunately that isn't...

It is not IE11 on my XP virtual machine. It is IE8 and it also is broken and will not connect. The certificate is TLS1.2 so I am assuming at this point the issue is IE and the certificate. Like it or...

I will do a test when I get home today. I have Windows XP with IE11 running in a virtual machine. My guess is the server certificate updated and the update no longer includes those weak 1.x/2.x...

No recent changes were made. The last major change I made to the site was activating SSL and forcing SSL. I did that October 5th 2023. I don't control the certificates the server uses. They are free...

If you are still using IE11 that is known to be an issue going forward. We did nothing to change our settings but MS killed off IE a few years ago now. You should be able to import all of your...
