rizble Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Nice find. I wonder whose site that is. [url="http://s147674401.onlinehome.us/forumBackup/index.php?showforum=3"]Earth and Beyond Emulator > General > Main Lobby[/url] BTW, does anyone have a good full archive of the old ebportal forums? I know someone had a browsable mirror up in the early days of the emulator, but I think it was lost to a drive failure.

DarkkHero Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Very nice find. Here's our old Galileo post.

lpalgarvio[IS] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 AFAIK, that would be impossible or extremely hard to do, if done by hand (SQL). the forum topic ids would very likely clash with each others, for example. an export, if possible in IPB admin interface, could help. no clue if that exists. in Drupal we have a lot of modules that can export/import content, fields, views, styles, panels, features, etc... features is a great invention - it can import settings, content and enable modules based on the functionalities you choose for example.

C Del[IS] Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 That's odd. At first glance I thought it was one of ours, as it's hosted by the company we use, but ours are hosted in Europe. Maybe David would know more about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayerman Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 http://s147674401.onlinehome.us/forum/ This also goes to a disabled board, so i wonder if this is one of our old servers that is still live somewhere, maybe an admin could try and log in to the SQL or something and run an export. Ive seen all the old posts about the old single player, so i guess lots of the data will be on there, i think someone who had server access back then should try RDP to it You can browse the forums, and can see known users, CDel, your there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm amazed they haven't recycled that by now.

That being said our old dev/play server that we're replacing now are: S309xxxx and s314xxxxx (not giving the full names for obvious reasons). These servers are over a year old, which dates this one you've found as stretching to about 2006 or 2007(maybe 2008..). Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpalgarvio[IS] Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 the VPS/hosting should still be accessible to admins, unless they disabled that but forgot to remove the data from it (in case the service was shut down). i've had hosting in 1and1 (single) and Godaddy (single and cloud), VPS in Goddady and Linode, and a dedicated server in Layered Tech i recommend Linode. VPS.net might be a good service too. they have very good VPS services, if not the best in the world. available for USA and Europe (UK) Layered Tech is a premium service with great support, but very expensive.

Kyp [LDEV] Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 The boxes are all managed from our account profile at 1and1. There's no web based control panel for the machines we get for this project, they are all self-managed (to save on the expenses and all) and I don't remember the direct RDP password for an admin for that long ago I'm afraid. Bout the only chance we got of referencing that is either hope it never goes down or find someone willing to copy over everything that's still useful (quite possibly the most boring job I could imagine...)

Slayerman Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 david still has an admin account on the forums, he may know them Fingers crossed, Plus its an old 2.2.1 board so moving posts may have to be done manually anyway (if there is anything we want.

[/quote] wouldn't work I don't think, Admin was in a different location on IPB 2.x.x. i'll give it a shot tho. Slayer: Given that we haven't paid for that box in that long, something in me doubts they've got it enabled for a remote RDP, and if by some chance they do, we've changed the admin box password at least twice since then.

The server we're seeing here appears to have been the server we had before the one that crashed, which we must have upgraded from around the time the posts stop. Contacting Ayu is unlikely to help, he's "complicated" to work with, lol. Also, I'm not sure how much, if anything, that's really important has been lost but would still be on that server.
