November 17, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, Vertigo said: Yep, cert just expired. Honest question but why don’t you guys host the site on a PaaS? Seems like so many of these types of issues are auto managed for you on a platform like Heroku or Azure. Because it would turn the site from profitable to a money loser 1 hour ago, Captainant said: ffs guy, use a certificate manager or some shit to update your certs automatically. Use AWS ACM you wouldn't have this issue anymore and the SSL certs are free. Don't need anything on AWS to use it, not even domain registration on route53 EDIT: Huh, their SSL provider, Let's Encrypt, says they do automatic cert rotation. No idea why it's broken, but cmon man The automation works fine for a single server site . When you have multiple servers running it's not just a one liner. To renew the cert I had to: change nginx config turn off haproxy restart nginx run certbot script cat keys together and move to proper location change nginx config restart nginx start up haproxy Yeah, I could write a script to do this but I'm fucking lazy

Shit, are we load balancing at the DNS level instead of routing to a load balancer box?
November 17, 20187 yr haproxy is our load balancer, it does take care of the https, the hosting servers do not do https haproxy is running on a box that is also running nginx for hosting, no point in having that server sit at 1% usage

LB was misconfigured and didn't acknowledge and update the certs so shit got booked. Won't happen again. Please give me your neg rep.

December 7, 20187 yr Just as a datum - I was having problems writing replies in Chrome last night. The reply box was very short - clicking in it would drop it down enough for the "insert other media" box and maybe the submit reply box, but no space for the body/would not place a cursor. I manually updated Chrome (which should be set to autoupdate, but... meh) and it functions normally now. Other websites seemed fine, Firefox was working normally, based on the lack of anyone else saying anything about the same problem it's probably just something wonky in Chrome... or actually it may have been related to a flash update that I'm now remembering installed last night. Fuckin adobe.
December 11, 20187 yr site is not even navigable on ios. stupid hijacking ads (i am such a fucking lucky winner) are snagging me within 5 seconds of clicking on any thread...regardless of whether or not i am signed in. incredibly annoying. hope the revenue is worth it.
December 12, 20187 yr are you on a browser or tapatalk? If a browser which browser? There are no ads on the site for people who are signed in.
December 12, 20187 yr Safari browser. This morning it hasn’t hijacked me yet after signing in (though it took three attempts to sign in without being redirected prior to finishing entering login details). It definitely did yesterday though.
December 12, 20187 yr Strange there is no mechanism to show ads to anyone that is signed in and we don't run "hijack" ads. You should consider doing a virus/malware scan.

December 16, 20187 yr iPad Pro running iOS 12.1 Safari, private browsing: hijack ads when trying to sign in at https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php Happened a couple of times this morning. This time I was able to sign in before getting hijacked. Edited December 16, 20187 yr by solamente73 Sign in, log in, 220, 221....
January 15, 20196 yr some pretty shit borkage going on. Master database server crashed entirely, did a failover and took it out of rotation. Please let me know if you are still getting intermittent 503 errors.

January 15, 20196 yr Same here, the top level domain name is redirecting to port 81 and that is failing. If you go straight to a directory, like http://www.surlyhorns.com/board/ then there is no issue.
January 15, 20196 yr Just an update for those curious about the downtime this morning that was unplanned: Our main database server basically shit itself this morning and is effectively dead. Catastrophic failure, luckily we didn't even have to restore from backup and we lost no data from just failing over to our slave database host. Unfortunately I had the management software set to manual instead of automatic otherwise there would have been no disruption in service. The 503 errors that were happening afterwards were just due to the server still being in our load balancing rotation - I fixed that and everything should be good to go. No worries we have another slave and off site backups in the event of another failure on the current main database.
January 16, 20196 yr i guess that refurb compaq presario with a cyrix processor wasn't the way to go.
January 17, 20196 yr Author I may have spotted what's causing the double post problem. If you reply to the thread before the last page it looks unresponsive. But open a new tab and check the thread it has the post. People keep clicking until they get a response or give up.
January 18, 20196 yr the mobile site has been super slow and sometimes even stalling out on chrome for a couple of weeks now. anyone else?
January 18, 20196 yr i guess that refurb compaq presario with a cyrix processor wasn't the way to go.Nerd joke. I get it.

February 16, 20196 yr Been down all morning via regular browser. For whatever reason Tapatalk seems to work. Bad idea trying to install Windows 10 on the raspberry pi today, immamac
