Announcement Small PF update this weekend

[Greg Bernhardt]

We'll be updating PF software this coming weekend. Hoping to fix some pesky bugs! Shouldn't be down for more than 15-20min. Likely Saturday morning.

Old-timers: remember the drill. We need to establish an online muster point where we can gather while the update takes 2 days instead of 2 hours.

I've taken the generator out of storage and checked it out, filled the bathtubs with water, full tank of gas in the truck.... hoping for the best, prepared for the worst.

You're not kidding, the mentors back in the day used to have a secret yahoo group during problem updates lol

That's like "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

And a secret chat for the Saturdays (or was it Sundays?) when the then PF chat was of. It was giving people random names though, like Stinky Elf, so the first stage was to guess who is who.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Starting in about 30min

 

[BillTre]

Still going!

Core software has been updated. I ran into some issues updating PHP. I'll work on that later this week.

@Greg Bernhardt since about 20 minutes ago the site is almost unusable when logged in due to a broken request for a stylesheet (https://https//www.physicsforums.co...ress_xf.less,public:xb.less,public:extra.less...)

I don't think it is a (UK/Europe) CDN issue because "no cache" headers are set.

I noticed the same, however on macOS Safari it renders OK but you cannot log in and there is a bunch of scam, dating site ads and similar injected everywhere.

Something seems to be up with the CSS (if you weren't aware). It's been looking like this for the last half hour

Related to Greg saying he was going to try to update the PHP stuff that didn't update at the weekend, perhaps?

 

[Ibix]

Just now seems to have been fixed for me.

 

[pbuk]

Yep, me too.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

thanks for the reports, hold tight, it might break again as I try to stabilize PHP 8.2

 

[Ibix]

Off to do something else until I start jonesing for PF, then.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

ok I'm unable to update, there is a script that is breaking, need more time to look at it

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

trying again with php update, hold tight

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

We're now on PHP 8.1 with a few issues still, but overall seems to be working. Please post any issues here.

I am seeing some new posts with missing content, seems to be images or video.

Most recent is https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/7057407, where the initial text shows but the rest of the rather large message frame is blank.

Hope this isn't a case of "Advance To The Rear."

Was that for me? Firefox does that both on my office laptop/win10 and on my PC/Opensuse at home...

 

[Rive]

what will be fixed?
