CMS Made Simple Forums

Also I see there is a need to set up some sort of disk space monitor in general, so that single-purpose CMSMS linux servers that run unattended for long periods of time without any problems with automatic data backup, will at least send email alerts if the disk is getting 90+% full.

I apologize for not using six different distributions of linux before posting. God forbid there be consistency across operating systems, or any ability of the CMSMS installer to detect such logging variations and deal with them automatically. What's that "made simple" bit supposed to mean,...

If you're running CMSMS on linux in a virtual machine using the default install, then you're probably using a "small" virtual disk such as 8 gigabytes. Please note that there are two cmsms log files that can grow to hugomongous proportions over several years, consume all available disk spa...

I have written a bash script for automating backups of CMSMS to a remote filesystem using Ubuntu linux, that: -- logs the results and errors in a friendly manner -- mounts a remote filesystem (user specified) -- backs up the SQL and website (user specified) -- transfers to the remote fs, making a di...

The CMSMS upgrade page step 2 is complaining to me that "Outgoing http connections do not appear to work!" Well, yeah, we got this firewall thing. And this http proxy filter thing. All outgoing connections must go through the proxy. CMSMS is installed on Ubuntu, and the proxy server is set...

I dislike the fact that the documentation is so vague on the backup and restore process, since this site's documentation is otherwise written from the standpoint of "you don't need to be an expert if you just follow this quick guide". Backing up is only vaguely described in the upgrade sec...

Thank you very much, this immediately solved the horrible slowness of my brand-new install of CMSMS. (I have no prior experience or content creation with this software.)
