Bonaparte Posted March 25, 2016 Dear members, This morning we have migrated Eurobricks to a new server which will give us additional HW resources to cope with traffic growth. On some occasions we had issues handling all the load, so we decided it was time to migrate. It is possible there will be some performance issues in the coming days until our server expert Ace has done further tuning of our new server. For those interested, here's an overview of our current hardware: CPU: 12 vCores (before: 8) RAM: 60 GB (before: 32) DISK: 4x 240GB SSD (before: 4x 1T SATA) RAID: Raid10 (before: Raid10) - The Eurobricks staff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KlodsBrik Posted March 25, 2016 Cant go wrong with SSD disks in a Raid10 setup. Nice ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnac Posted March 25, 2016 It appears that the forum software doesn't like the change very much. Warning: Illegal string offset 'member_group_id' in /var/www/vhosts/eurobricks.com/httpdocs/forum/admin/applications/forums/sources/classes/topics.php on line 2062 This appears at the top of threads which include at least one hidden post; the message gets repeated according to how many hidden posts there are.

Bonaparte Posted March 25, 2016 This appears at the top of threads which include at least one hidden post; the message gets repeated according to how many hidden posts there are. I can't reproduce this. I've hidden posts in topics to test but this msg didn't come. Also I've logged out and visited such topics as 'guest' but no error message. Can you provide a link to such topic which gives you this error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted March 25, 2016 I get the same message as gnac. One of the threads it occurs on is this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted March 25, 2016 I get the same message as gnac. One of the threads it occurs on is this one That thread doesn't have hidden post as far as I can see. I also can't reproduce it. Not with my own account or a regular member test account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) That thread doesn't have hidden post as far as I can see. I think the hidden posts are just ones I've hidden myself. I'll try unhiding them and see if that removes the message. Ok, I unhid the posts of a user whose posts were the only thing I had hidden in the thread. The messages at the top are gone now.

mediumsnowman Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I'm getting this message as well. I don't feel bad that the person blocked is visible since I straight up told him he was getting blocked. Edited March 25, 2016 by mediumsnowman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 25, 2016 I can confirm that blocking a user generates this error message,I have just tested it and got the same error as other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, I can now also reproduce this. Thanks for reporting! On the old server this issue is not there (I went there to check). Since our forum software is still exactly the same I'm guessing this must be because of the different mode we are running PHP scripts on this new server. Or because of the different PHP version. We'll investigate this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 25, 2016 Will the move to the new server mean that we might see less spammers on the site? I understand that the "IP Board" settings are responsible for the version of captcha and not the server (although you can get captcha servers). The server load increase was probably all the spam bots we have been getting lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNIPE Posted March 25, 2016 wow the entire eurobricks footprint including all PM's, topics, attachements,user profiles, etc is only at most 4 x 240gb? I was expecting it to need several terabytes of storage. I'm curious as to what motherboard the server is using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was expecting it to need several terabytes of storage. I'm curious as to what motherboard the server is using. RAID 10 with 4 x 240GB drives would give you 480GB of storage. Since EB aren't hosting images, text doesn't take up that much space nor use much network bandwidth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
