Holy shit I got it working!

Well the archives are back. I had to fight phpBB3, Mysql, php, CentOS Stream and a dozen angry skidgets to get this shit working.

Things may still be broken but its a LLLOOOONNNNGGGG jump from a 12 year old version of software to today.

Bottom line LINUX sucks, OSS is a god damn freaking nightmare of broken software, outdated links and half answered questions. Thank God I'm out of IT.

WHOO-HOO!! You rock Paul!

It will go up and down as the current cloud server is 1/10th the HDD space of the old server... then one with 13 year old software.

Right now log files are killing me as every program wants to spit out tons of inane drivel. Just had to tweak the mysql config as the SSD was full of useless bots crawling the site.

I did up the connection limit from 5 to 10.... and until I can get a good crawler/bot filter in place things may slow down now and again.
