The former windowname was "ioFTPD::MessageWindow", is that still the default?

[darkone]

ioFTPD::MessageWindow is still default.

[-=DoBBeR=-]

is the crashguard gone, or just not shown as another ioftpd.exe in taskmanager?

[darkone]

It's temporarily disabled.. I'm working on new version, which is triggered when-ever applications gets fatal exception.

Also, it's advisable to set initial size of worker thread pool to higher than with any earlier version, if you're using lots of scripts through 'EXEC' module.

I come to think of something. Would be nice to have all your "tip's" on a page. I recall Ive seen d1 made some suggestions from time to time, on how to setup some settings. Would be nice to add them to a own page as its hard to find something you forgot what it was. Just a thought.

I got bored, so I decided to visualize new core :)

Isn't that the point of having forums to begin with? A collection of "articles" one can refer to? In my opinion, just an excuse for lazyness to use the "search" function. ;)

For example: Say you wanted some info for a recommended setting of "DirectoryCache_Size"; you could easily search the forums for "DirectoryCache_Size" and more then likely find something relating to it.

It shows, which threads are communicate with each other. As far as I can tell, it's near ideal server core on windows. Timer and socket scheduler threads could be unified to one thread, if both tasks were assigned priority. (of which scheduler should have higher) But since both of these threads are using very little of stack memory, it's unneccessary.

when does the eclipse happen?! :D

Well I can probably agree we are abit lazy sometimes, but... If your searching for something and thread that is 10-20 pages comes up, you arent that happy anymore.

oops wrong thread I edited in :) Never mind this line.

Darkone, pls, i need completely DISABLE PHP! I dont want it, I dont want to use it! How can I do this? I have ioFTPD on some web server, where is old implementation of PHP, this is big problem, because I cannot change version of PHP, which is on that server, and ioFTPD generate error (when start) about version mischmach :(

[toki]

do not start httpd?

(remove service in Active_Services under [Network])

would be my simple 2 cent guess...

[darkone]

I think, it's possible that your current server stores php4 .dll to windows\system32. There's an easy solution to this; move this .dll to directory where executable of that another webserver resides. Otoh. why not just to update the php :?

[bizniz]

still! error on site adduser, when Default.user has 'groups xxx', new user ends up in NoGroup!! ffs.

[odd]

bizniz how come you be useing 5.8.0 when it aint even out on the u version yet?

And aint the default "site adduser" supposed to add users to NoGroup. Use site gadduser instead.

[darkone]

Good call. But I suspect, that he just hasn't updated his info (or has lost password to his real acc) Anyways.. it's fixed in coming build - so you can stop whining.

[darkone]

Get the 5.8.1 while you're mute :) It contains several bug fixes.

[mapis]

toki> I dont start any other service then FTP!

darkone>i cannot upgrade PHP, because, when i do it, the web site written in PHP doesnt run :(

what can i do? how can i disable PHP?

[darkone]

Php can't be disabled from io + it will soon be available for ftp & telnet as well. You could try what I suggested, if that doesn't work try copying php.ini to ioftpd\system & configure it not to use any external dlls. And if even that doesn't help, then wait until I implement specifable location for php.ini :)

[Mouton]

hum.. versions mismatch ?
Where are all the php dll ??
If io doesn't find it's dll in ioftpd\system, it will probably try to find it in system directories, and when it find one, with incorrect version, it will probably not be happy.
So make sure u leave io php dll in ioftpd\system directory.
Otherwise, i don't see how io would complain about other php version on same server...
I use apache 2 with php.exe on the same server as io here, and io doesn't complain about that... it doesn't have any idea about that in fact...

[mr b]

nice one

[darkone]

Ahh.. true, latest io (full) includes the required php.dll. You need to grab that, if you're upgrading from 5.6. :)
