It is now allowing me to validate thanks.

There seems to be a problem uploading pictures. I was trying to merge some entries, and got this message.

Warning: file_put_contents(pics/temp/i001123918jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/imcdb/upload.php on line 294

I've tried to add a new film, but I couldn't and here is the messages I got:

Admin : New movie
Data too long for column 'movie_title' at row 1
INSERT INTO movie_s (movie_id,movie_year,movie_year2,movie_title,movie_type) VALUES (66252,1971,0,'Una prostituta al servizio del pubblico e in regola con le leggi dello stato',0)

So what do we do?

@Exiv96 > should be ok
@Sixcyl > title too long (max length = 75) ; previously it was truncating automatically, I suppose that now by default it refuse the data, I'm searching how to make that silently.
edit: done

HTTPS should be fine now.
You can use https://imcdb.org or https://www.imcdb.org (as you prefer)
As usual, please report any error you notice, but also the culprit page if at some point you end up on the non-HTTPS version of the site (normally all links on the site should keep you on the HTTPS version).

https version isn't switched automatically for me if i open the site from my favourites. can you make https connection by default over http?

before after
The facebook like button on the vehicle page is missing......

I'll maybe do that later, when I'm sure that all works fine, but currently it is not forced.
If you wish to use the HTTPS version modify your favourite

Indeed, thanks. It is fixed now, however as they seem to separate HTTP & HTTPS in their stats all the likes are now "lost" because set on HTTP-version of the pages
Or maybe they'll come back if at some point they refresh the data, seeing that now the pages are available as HTTPS.
edit: I'll keep the HTTP version for Facebook for now, I'll see that later when forcing HTTPS version.

Tabbing the page which it means to open another web page at the same browser instance.

I know what tabs are, I wasn't sure what you meant by "tabbing"

For me Roubaix was a lot closer than Canada though. Just sayin'.

I do believe the main images take a fraction longer to load.

Sure, for us it is slightly slower then The transfer speed should not be impacted (for 100 KB pic...), only the response time on page/image request may have an impact (what rjluna mentioned: the start of loading of a page)

I did it on my own server a few weeks ago, thanks to Let's Encrypt (as you did for the IMCDb): a really easy move!
With their encryption during their transfert and in the corresponding cookie, our credentials are now (almost) entirely protected when we log into the IMCDb

It was a little less easy here due to the use of lighttpd rather than apache or nginx, but after a few tries I found how to make it work seamlessly

Sounds indeed a bit more tricky than with Apache2. But still relatively easy when compared to some other server configurations: try Postfix if you like headaches

Will lighttpd be enough for the IMCDb, all the more with the (most probably heavier) code of the NextGen? I use it on my computer for "internal" tools and for testing html/php pages and scripts, but feel more "comfortable" when having an Apache for online sites...

I use it and didn't really have problems (though that I do not use it as relaying SMTP)


lighttpd is much lighter than Apache, taking less CPU (this server runs only on an i3), I don't think it would be quickly limited.
In case at some point it is not enough I could still switch to Nginx.
The new site is more complex, but the database is much better designed (using tables for car makes, models, etc. instead of a rather "plain" system as current with simple text field for each role), so it may reduce the load on the SQL database (currently using much more CPU than the web server).

So... Both Google and Bing now redirects to https version... Time has finally come to switch on https by default?

They redirect to HTTPS because I specified that version in the canonical URL in the header.
I should force HTTPS for the login, that's on my to-do list.

Can I say that I don't see the logic behind forcing https only for the login page and not the entire site?
