Ok...upgrade went smoothly. Thanks for all your hard work.

It seems like everything is functioning correctly on the TF2 servers, with exception of this error in the logs:

L 02/09/2009 - 08:12:05: SourceMod error session started

Data pack errors are minor and can be ignored.

Yes, that error has been there for ages and has been reported many times.

Good deal. I didn't think it was major, as it didn't seem to affect performance at all.

I would like to reiterate how smoothly the upgrade process went, and how invaluable this tool has become to my little group.

I appreciate you guys putting in the hundreds if not thousands of hours it must have taken to create SB.

Since I moved my SourceBans installation to a new web host, it can no longer seem to see what the latest release is, in the Admin Panel. I get "Error retrieving latest release."
Also, it can never find any Steam Groups that belong to a banned user. Even though that user belongs to several public groups.
Any ideas?

After installing 1.4.1 I no longer get the option to perma ban on my admin menu in game. I would like to give my admins that option to perma ban. I have the box checked off in the web panel that gives that permission. I only get the options to ban for X amount of minutes on up to 1 week. Any help is greatly appreciated!

@ OziOn: Ask your new host if he allows connections through fsockopen() and file_get_contents() for remote hosts.

@ your_mom: You have to grant your admins Unban rights in order to enable them to ban permanent. If you don't want them to be able to unban from server, just set Unban to "0" in sourcebans.cfg.

I have a problem with uploading demos. Dir is chmoded to 766 and tried uploading ziped and rared demos of a filesize around 200Kb. It acts as if it was uploaded. You can also dl the demo but it downloads just an empty file with the name of the demo :-/

upload_max_filesize 24M, and safe mode on.
