Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 ... just a quick note to acknowledge your long post #25, and your recent contribution to the asteroid harvesting series. The bolo example is interesting, and I hope it generates some interest.

I just looked in on the Dropbox account, and we have two files there, both from 2023.

For kbd512 ....

Please see https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 68#p220468

I've set up an Azure account for the forum upgrade.  If you can make tomorrow's Google meeting, we can (hopefully) try it out.

I created the account with a password that is designed with you in mind.

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 ...

My experiments with the plain Apache we set up were less than rewarding ...

Everything I tried ended up with a decline.  I sent you an email with a few of the details.

The environment is MUCH less accommodating than the ** real ** Ubuntu.

I think it makes sense to remove that instance (if we can) and try to set up the LAMP.

I'll check back to see if you want to work on this again this evening or later this week.

For kbd512 re #29

I just finished some chores and found your message.

I'll set up the Google Meeting and try to have it ready by 9 PM my time. I might be a minute or two late.

tahanson43206,

My modified copy of the FluxBB Master has been uploaded to DropBox.  Please let me know if you're able to access the files.

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 re #32

Thanks for doing the upload!  I pulled it down on the U64 where the database is already installed.

The file size shows as 380 kb ... file name is fluxbb-master.zip.

Does this go into the same folder/directory as the existing php files?  I assume so but thought I'd check to be sure.

I vaguely recall that there is a pointer file in the apache2 chain that points to applications.

You saw the listtopic.php script running... it is installed in /var/www/html

There's a file called "require.php" located at the www level.  OK ... that file provides access to the mysql database.

Re: kbd512 Postings

tahanson43206,

The extracted files from the ZIP archive file are to be deployed into the "htdocs" folder / directory (or whatever directory your setup is pointed at / named, since this is configurable) of your Apache Web Server's installation directory.

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 ...

Thank you for the detailed post about composite materials for rocket tanks compared to steel as used by SpaceX.

Here is a quote from your conclusion:

If I had to hazard a guess, Elon Musk (most likely) or someone else at SpaceX attempted to apply their observations about what happens to highly stressed COPVs at cryogenic temperatures to a CFRP main propellant tank that experiences nowhere near the stress of a CFRP COPV operated at the same temperature.

I'm wondering if you might be willing to add definitions of the abbreviations at the end of the document, for readers who might not be familiar with the subject?

It seems to me the overall point (in response to RGClark's questions) is made effectively.

In your conclusion, I confess to having lost track of the materials. I ** think ** the paragraph was comparing steel to composite, but am not sure.

***
Thanks for the guidance in #34 .... You have access to the test system in Azure, so you can set up the software properly there.

We have 12 days left in the free trial.  Everything is working properly, as far as I can tell.  The ssh command should work for you by just changing the IP address to the new value as published in the Azure topic.

The only wrinkle that may occur is authentication.  Azure challenges me to provide a code from the newmarsmember gmail account when I use a different computer to access the system. If that happens I'll be happy to assist, but it may not because your computer may already have the hidden files that grant access.

SpaceNut found a link to a backup of the missing newmars front page: https://web.archive.org/web/20190522184 … wmars.com/

The 404 error is still there.

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 re post in Housekeeping!

Thanks for an excellent suggestion!

I'll schedule a work session to scan phpBB3 in the near future.

If I can fit it in today I'll do so, but I'll get to it Saturday for sure.  Friday is booked.

I appreciate your support of phpBB3, because it is shaping up nicely in the Azure test account.

Re: kbd512 Postings

For kbd512 re Registration message....

SpaceNut tried to change the registration message using Admin tools, but apparently there is no option to edit the text.

The text is located in the register.php file.
