Attachments

I moved the location of the attachment files. Unfortunately the “don’t allow new attachment” setting does not apply to TripleA. Maybe some TripleA files uploaded between 5:48pm and 6:05pm PST. I did a sync after I did the copy so it might’ve grabbed everything.

The reason for the move is that the previous setup with Amazon AWS S3 went from $20/month to over $100/month. I don’t know what was causing this so I disabled S3 and set up a new $20 server. It will only be able to store 36GB and we’re at 22GB. I’m hoping to have the new forums set up before we hit the limit.

Also, attachments are going to be a little slow again. It shouldn’t time out TripleA but that might depend on your connection.

Testing.

I think I fixed the issue. The connection to the remote file-server must have timed out (due to lack of use) so I added a new param to hopefully fix it.

@Geograph:

Seems that I have a similar problem:
“404 - Attachment Not Found”  :?

Hmm, I thought I fixed this just now.

Silly me, I rebooted the wrong server.

It’s working again and I’m trying a new setting to keep the connection alive. Hopefully this does it this time.

@Shin:

The problem appears to be back.

Fixed again.

Thanks for letting me know when it happens. It allows me to see and fix it almost immediately (unless I’m asleep ;-) )

Okay, it’s up an running and I added more configuration (actually a script) to keep things running. Now I’m writing the date to a file on the remote server once per minute to keep the connection alive.
