Site moved to a new server

Ken Wang

Hi all,

Sorry being lost for so long.

The site has been moved to a new server, and got a few minor updates.

The site has been online for two decades now. It was originally built from 2004, layout updated in 2011. The server software stack is very old, and some packages, especially the forum, has security risks (This is probably why everyone's gallery settings was lost). This move addresses some (but not all) server software issue.

Next I am thinking of replacing the forum with something else. The hard part is to migrate the members' login info the new forum software, which I hasn't decided yet. Most likely everyone has to reset their password.

If you spot any issue, please leave a message here. I'll keep a close look in the coming week.

Cheers,

Ken

Good day Sir

I can't load your site with Firefox 129.01: "a necessary TLS-function is missing".

TLS 1.3 seems to be the one to be used.

Thanks for the great site.

Could you please upload a screenshot? I don't have firefox. A quick google shows 129.01 is the lastest version, which is quite strange to have TLS issue.

Ken, I told him it was fixed and he added his new profile, attempted to load a picture and got the same message as before: Server had a temporary error, Please try again later

Good day Ken

Here is the screen-shot I get when trying to open the site with Firefox. i hope this works.

When logged out in Opera clicking on "Forums" only the "Home" site turns up.

Should one be logged-in to open the forums? Something new?

Thank you

John

SSL issue should be fixed now. Please check again.

The other issue, home page show up instead of forums means the link is wrong. On which page did you click on the "Forums" link?

It appears to be working ok now, for loading pics.

Thank you

quote "The other issue, home page show up instead of forums means the link is wrong. On which page did you click on the "Forums" link? "quote

It was the home-page on Opera.

It works now with Firefox and Opera.

Correcting a profile doesn't work neither with Opera nor Firefox: I tried with F-OGGV (1 engine, 4 seats, built 1975) and I got "Server had a temporary error. Please try again later."

I made corrections to the preceeding and following profiles the same day, GGV went not, not yesterday nor to-day....

Thank you and kind regards

Hi John,

On which page did you tried to update the profile? I did some test on the aircraft profile page (https://airport-data.com/aircraft/F-OGGV.html), it went through okay.

Hi Ken
Great new site.
At least the corrections to F-OGGV are made. I tried several times to no avail.
I tried to change the serial-nuber of HB-CLF but got "Server had a temporary error. Please try again later."
Logged-in or not made no difference.
I have not found a knob to log-out? I found it here, but not on the home-page.
Thank you and greetings
John

Ken, so glad to see the site getting the attention it deserves!
I've been uploading since 2007, 23k pics. It became my go to for curating my Aero pics. I've met a some interesting folks and made some nice connections over the years. Just this week I was contacted by a guy that found a photo of his late Father's airplane. He was so excited.

I had almost given up hope that the site would survive.
Very happy to hear it's not lost!

Thank you!
