The IPs of posts and users aren't showing. There isn't even an IP option. How do I fix this?
It is fixed now. It was a problem with an edit I made to the config.php file on the previous host. Thanks @Tracy Perry for figuring it out!
The old host was using a front end proxy. It was showing all of the posts were coming from the server's IP. The edit was to resolve that and it hid the IPs when I moved to the VPS.
Now that code is removed, the real IPs are now reporting. There was no IP button at all on the VPS with it.
Glad you found the site.. @eva2000 is a wealth of knowledge... now, I gotta go make a new topic dealing with IPv6 myself!
That's because you aren't configured for IPv6 in your DNS to allow remote connections. If you have IPv6 configured, you definitely will see the difference in their format. I had several on my recumbent site recently that were apparently coming in from the EU. Once I moved from my OVH server to another OVH server, I never enabled it back again until recently. By enabling it, it widens your audience base, but since you are more US based, it's not as important. EDIT: Actually, since you are with LiNode on the VPS, I think you do have IPv6 enabled... nginx just isn't compiled to use it right now and you don't have an IPv6 DNS entry for the site.
The domain transfer should complete tomorrow. How would I make an IPV6 entry? Currently I have an entry for just the IPV4 address pointing at utahfishkeepers.us. Should it be pointing at cyprinidae.utahfishkeepers.us?
yes, but the DNS entry process, etc is not CentMin Mod specific... it's more hosting issue. That's better addressed in a different location. I won't provide off-topic assistance like that on here as to engage/enable it will be somewhat extensive discussion.
probably the major part for IPv6 @CarpCharacin you need your domain to have a AAAA DNS record remember nginx 1.11.5+ now enable ipv6 by default so no need to compile nginx for it but yes missing part is AAAA DNS record for domain to point to IPv6 ip + nginx listen directive setup for IPv6
So, we no longer have to specifically go in and modify the Code: NGINX_IPV='y' # option deprecated from 1.11.5+ IPV6 support entry in centmin.sh? Since I sometimes fall back on an older version to test (and others may also) it may be a good idea to change the default here to a 'y' instead of a 'n' to keep the behavior consistent with the newer versions.
