Site performance, Server errors, outages and tunings

Just to let you know - when attempting to get to the landing page (http://www.likera.com/), I get an error message.

Hm.. indeed... I wonder if it was incorrectly cached.

Also, trying to view pictures from in the forums -
in Firefox, they don't load at all.

I can see images in Firefox 25.

Just in case - try to Shift-Reload. Your browser might cache the old scripts.

Removed from the cache and restarted apache - looks good.

Tweaked a couple of more things - the site loads much faster now.

Just to let you know - when attempting to get to the landing page (http://www.likera.com/), I get an error message.

In Firefox,
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

In Chrome,
ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

I was able to get to other pages (like the forum) using their permalinks.

Also, trying to view pictures from in the forums -
in Firefox, they don't load at all. The "loading" icon comes up, and spins forever.
in Chrome, they take a long time to load, especially when navigating through multiple pictures with the arrow keys.

I use Chrome and I don't see any problems, just a nice shot of Ra's sweet ass.

Hopefully membership will grow.

I know plenty about streaming

Good! Any links/URLs/pointers?

If you have a webcam you can usually plug right into sites like Stickam or uStream without any additional software. Then, you can usually embed those stream channels into your site.

If for some reason you require to stream your desktop or something on your desktop, like I typically stream hockey to followers of my uStream channel, then you'd need that additional layer of software to basically record your desktop, or a portion of it, and then re-push that out to where uStream or Livestream are looking for it. I use ManyCam but to make the broadcast even clearer I use Adobe Flash Media Encoder which takes the output from Manycam and makes sure it gets sent to uStream in near-HD format. This increases resource consumption on my machine but the audience gets a clearer picture.

If we're just talking about sessions, like Anne's, then just a webcam should be sufficient and the channel usually has embed code, so long as this forum allows it. I don't know if anyone really has any cams to contribute at the moment - I do not feel comfortable enough with my body - but at some point in the future you may have a "Channel Page" and it could show who's active or has scheduled upcoming shows. I know that's all probably miles down the road but I have faith in Ra 😊

The server is running Ubuntu 13.10 now. But so much has been changed/obsoleted/replaced...

No APC anymore. Now it's Zend opcache + APCu. Trying to understand how they work...

Love Ubuntu and yes so much has changed. I don't know C/C++ to any degree of programming but I have gotten very heavy into bash scripting. If I could invest my time all over again I would have learned OOP head to toe and developed apps for Ubuntu or other distros. I currently use Win 7 for games and certain media formats which I have been unable to run on *nix distros but I know in my heart of hearts Ubuntu is king 😊

Nice... Restarting Apache or stopping and starting it explicitly result in different ModPageSpeed behaviour... Now I'm lost at when and why scripts began to work asynchronously/simultaneously. Back to "slow" ...

Not sure what's happening, but I can't hit the home page any longer.. had to go in through another page. (tried it with 2 browsers).

i.e. www.likera.com is not working.

www.likera.com/home.php still works.

I wonder why Apache wrongly caches this page... When I remove it from cache, restart Apache - it shows fine. Let me try to tweak it...

[Like Ra]

Fantastic... Try:
http://www.likera.com/index.html
or
http://www.likera.com/?ModSpeed=Off

Both work fine.

But http://www.likera.com/ works only after I restart Apache.

[Like Ra]

I have no idea why it does not work, but as a workaround I simply disabled PageSpeed for http://www.likera.com/ While I do not like the internal logic of the latest version of mod_pagespeed, together with PHP 5.5 and Apache 2.4 it parses/caches/loads files ~50% faster.

Anyway, back to programming...
