As you all know, the sites moved to a new location and even onto a new platform. During the move the platform changed and that led to some unexpected issues.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Temporary SSL Certificate issue:<\/strong> Some people, namely those on IE7 and IE8 and a few on Android phones were getting an error about untrusted security certificate when they try to log into the site or use any secure pages. It turned out to be a configuration problem and it’s fixed (needed to configure and specify unique IP addresses for each secure domain).<\/li>\n
  2. Kindle eBooks didn’t work:<\/strong> Due to the platform change new updated binaries for the kindlegen software from amazon were needed.<\/li>\n
  3. Zip files issue:<\/strong> Some members reported inability to expand zipped archives generated on the new servers. I couldn’t duplicate the issue, but nonetheless, changed the zip archive generation algorithm to use my own hand-rolled zipping solution. Hopefully that solves it. I haven’t heard any complaints since the change.<\/li>\n
  4. Slow site during peak time:<\/strong> The new set up doesn’t handle text search well. I’m not sure if it’s a hardware problem (not enough processor bandwidth) or a software configuration problem. Whatever it is, I couldn’t find a solution quickly. I’ve moved text search to a small server that I had lying around. It’s slow<\/em> but for now it does the job and now text search works without affecting the main database server.
    I’m still working on this one. I will be installing a different indexing software (something more efficient than MySQL’s own built in full text index) and rewriting the text search scripts to use the new software. Hopefully that would solve it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If there are any outstanding issues that you’ve encountered, let me know. You can leave a comment here or send me a message directly through one of the sites’ webmaster forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
