Hi,
Thanks for bearing with us as we try to figure out our search problem in Forum 11 (from above).
Okay, we're set to single indexes again and search still seems to time-out, so we've installed Carnell's Archive Manager utility which was suggested above in order to pare down the size of the forum. (We were moving threads indivicually, so this hopefully will be a big timesaver).
Now it seems like there is some error in the utility installation. Our Control Panel is at:
StarClubs Control PanelI've selected the following settings for Mass Move:
1. Support for "Last Reply Hack" = No
2. Mass Move operation: = Mass Move
3. Move From : = Total Health Makeover
4. Sort Threads: = Reverse Date
5. Return Max Count: = 200
6. Return Threads Older: = 282 (days)
Left 7 & 8 blank (subject & authors)
9. Mark Returned threads: = Yes
10. Auto-Select = No (I've tried it both ways.. same result)
11. Rebuild = No (I've tried it both ways.. same result)
12. Update Rate: = 200
13. Cycle Pause: = 5
14. Transfer Topic To: = THM Archive 1 (with Delete Topic Selected).
Next, I click on "Submit Mass Move Choices) and I'm returned the following (as expected):
Carnell Utilities v00.85
Mass Move
Mass Move Operation: Move Threads
Cycle Rate: 200
Rebuild while Moving: no
Prune Replies: no
Archive or Transfer: Transfer
Source: Total Health Makeover
Destination: Total Health Makeover - Archive 1
Source Operation: Delete
All threads that have been checked will be included in your Move.
Then I get a list of 16 Threads Returned (18 Posts). We wanted to try a "small batch first" before we try a major move.
Now at this point when I click on the MOVE button, I get:
Moving threads 16 out of 16 and a quick flash telling me it will take so much time (I think it said 37 minutes or something) and then a final page says "StarClub BBS is currently Active" and I'm asked whether to "Skip Existing HTML Pages" (default = No) and again for "Update Cycle Rate" (which is set at 200 default).
Finally, clicking "Update Threads Now" returns a "Starting Forum Update... Source Forum Not Updated" and this followed by a repeated loop "Continuing Threads Update... Destination Forum not updated."
It basically stays in this loop until I shut it down and never moves the threads. I notice my oldest threads (from 4/25/2000 and prior) at:
Total Health Makeover - Last Page,
(the ones I'm trying to archive), are still there but with no thread names listed. When I go check the Destination Forum:
Total Health Makeover - Archive 1,
nothing new is moved.
Okay, after all of this, does it seem to you the problem is with our hacked version of UBB 5.47d? Is it something simple I'm doing wrong? Any help or advice you can suggest will be appreciated.
Thanks,
