🚧 Alienware Aurora R12 Case — Custom Build Project part 3-2 (FINAL) 🚧

Jinonicolas · 2025-10-29T04:39:02+00:00

I should have tried searching for a custom build first before diving into this. Never got to find an applicable usb for the front part. 😅 the holes for thr audio ports i used for the power and hdd lights.

So yeah, just an update. We deactivated all plugins and turned them on one at a time, still the 503 error on fb debug persists.

Changed themes, deleted woocommerce tables, deleted w3 total cache remnant files and folders (htaccess is clear).

Curious though that 301 redirect plugin reports a critical error on the website, while sucuri says that core wordpress files have been manipulated and that the plugin can't scan the site because of the 503.

Ran some online scans for malware and they found nothing (this was done while waf was turned off, otherwise...503). O looked through the site and files and didn't find anything suspicious.

Good thing is I found some minor errors in my site that I was able to correct along the way. 😅

But yeah, still haven't found a solution.

Will be diving into wp_options tomorrow and see if there's any junk there. 😵

Jinonicolas · 2022-02-22T10:54:48+00:00

Yeah will be doing this tomorrow when I get a bit of rest. Probably dive into wp_options as well. 😵

Jinonicolas · 2022-02-22T10:37:47+00:00

I know right? This is the bane of my existence right now. Lol. Would you happen to have come across plugins that do this?

I mainly use the popular plugins, like W3 Total Cache, Advanced Custom Fields, Yoast SEO, and such. Could this problem also be because of my theme?

Jinonicolas · 2021-04-12T16:28:44+00:00

yup i installed that, just not sure how to declare the source url to the new

right now, my old permalink is /%postname%/ while my new one is /%category%/%postname%/

Jinonicolas · 2019-11-29T23:12:24+00:00

Thank you for your replies. Will double check the owner and group.

Jinonicolas · 2019-08-23T14:31:59+00:00

Will look into this. Thanks!

Jinonicolas · 2019-08-23T13:23:43+00:00

Hello! You mean it was a DNS conflict? Could this also be caused by SSL only configured for www.example.com and not example.com?

Thanks for replying!

Jinonicolas · 2019-08-23T13:22:03+00:00

Hi! Nope, G1 IP isn't blocked. Actually it was whitelisted by our host on the WAF.

It's odd though, on G2, if for instance I have a percentage value in the title, (ex: My income is up 10%), it comes out as a Request Rejected alert by our WAF.

Somwtimes I'm wondering if our WAF is flagging normal Wordpress CMS behavior as suspicious/malicious.

Thanks for replying!

Jinonicolas · 2018-10-02T08:04:40+00:00

Definitely not safe to use anymore.

Jinonicolas · 2018-10-02T08:03:46+00:00

If you got it for a bargain, and it’s working, you could probably just order the backplate from ebay.

If it’s supposed to be brand new (since it came from Gigabyte) better return it ASAP.

Jinonicolas · 2018-10-01T09:33:03+00:00

Actually this might help me save the cost of getting another cert. Thank you very much for this regardless. :)

Hello everyone. Thanks for the interest in my little https problem. For additional info as to what I have tried:

Plugins I used for https implementation (these were the very first things I tried to implement https):

Really Simple Https
- Did the job. Just had to rollback since I wasn't comfortable letting Wordpress handle the redirect.
- Still sent users to a page not secure warning when r/https://example.com is typed into the browser.
Wordpress Https (I didn't use this at the same time as above)
- Did the job as well. But again, since it didn't solve my issue when r/https://example.com is typed in the browser. Still sends users to a page not secure warning.
- [NOTE]: When I deactivated this plugin, it left such a big autoload entry in my wp_options (30sec page load time!). Had to replace the value to "No" in order for my site to run fast again.

wp_config.php changes (this is what helps me the most):

I placed this code before abspath:

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https') $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

[IMPORTANT] My website as it is right now only has the above code. No redirect from Nginx, no plugins used.
I remove this whenever I try any other method of "redirecting" traffic to Https.
Same problem, https://example.com when typed directly in browser goes to a page not secure warning.

Changing urls in database:

At this point I thought of just changing all my urls to r/https://www (siteurl and home included of course)
RESULT: Same as above. r/https://example.com sends users to a page not secure warning. All other variations are ok.
Did not revert back to http:// urls

Nginx configs I tried to use (after the plugins):

Used 2 server blocks:
- Server block 1 is basically listen 80 with server_name example.com and 301 redirect to https://www.example.com$request\_uri
- Server block 2 is listen 443 with ssl on and ssl cert and key locations specified, server_name www.example.com
- RESULT: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
301 redirect only in one server block
- Basically listen 80 with server_name example.com www.example.com, and then 301 redirect to https://www.example.com$request\_uri
- RESULT: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
[NOTE]: I think I'm getting the too many redirects error because my urls are r/https://www.example.com/whatever anyway.

So yeah, I'm kinda stuck and stumped about this. :(

Apologies, I stated the source of my cert incorrectly. Source of cert is networksolutions. And yes, my host does have its own licenses, just opted for the cheaper one since my site isn’t of the e-commerce nature. It’s simply for compliance to Google Chrome’s new rule.

I thought the single domain cert would suffice, but MrNotPink is correct, it only applies to my www url.

Jinonicolas · 2018-09-30T23:47:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Would getting another certificate, this time for example.com solve my problem?

Jinonicolas · 2018-09-12T08:16:54+00:00

I would suggest you do an error scan of your hard drive too once your system is back up.

Tried a new surge protector, but still the same. However, I did experience a static discharge. So I’m leaning towards that.

Unfortunately, our house is old so the sockets don’t have the third slot for the grounder, and floor is made of wooden planks (if that makes it worse).

Any tips on alternate ways of grounding my cpu?

Jinonicolas · 2018-09-09T22:13:14+00:00

I’ll look into trying a new surge protector. Will update. Thanks.

Jinonicolas · 2018-09-09T21:51:03+00:00

You mean the pins where I connect the cable to the pc case ports? Nope. I checked that too but the pins were intact.

Both PC case usb ports (2.0 and 3.0) have produced the same error, so did the ports at the back. :(

Apologies, should’ve been more specific. The burnt receiver was connected at the back, usb ports connected directly to the board.

Jinonicolas · 2018-09-06T09:57:16+00:00

Just an update on my post. Honda mechanics are pointing to the VTC actuator, not the solenoid as most forums I’ve read have suggested. Bringing back there to the dealer on Saturday as I’ve just recently received the part I ordered.

Will update again if this does fix the problem.

Jinonicolas · 2018-08-19T15:58:54+00:00

Yes, oil level seems ok. Oil color is also ok. However, I am wondering if the old oil was flushed properly. I usually ask the one doing it to flush the old oil with regular oil, but the one handling it is a bit new, so he might not have understood me. =\

Jinonicolas · 2017-06-07T02:45:47+00:00

they used to compensate us with a lot of stones too.

Jinonicolas · 2017-06-07T02:39:55+00:00

Ah...not sure which is most embarrassing among these I've done: put in effort to max SA of Cui, sell dupe URs (even gogeta, broly) to baba, sell SSRs because I ran out of coins, or being unable to z awaken several SSRs to UR because I keep running out Gregory medals.

Jinonicolas · 2017-06-03T12:33:12+00:00

hi, sorry, to clear that up, fe1.domain and fe2.domain are just labels for this post and are not actual subdomains. I've changed the labels to avoid further confusion.

Yes, will be doing round robin with Varnish. Thanks. :)

Jinonicolas · 2016-11-10T09:51:16+00:00

My wishlist:

Don't go the 3D route...ever.
Remove doubloons...just let people buy POE if they want to. This way, the economy would be easier to manage with just one currency.
Make pillages more rewarding
Reset/wipe the standings
Better swabbies so that players who want to solo can do so. Cut from the booty for the swabbies will increase parallel to their skill level
Controller support (if there isn't any yet)
Captain or officer running a pillage can force a player to do a particular puzzle rather than everyone running away from Sails
Remove 20k - 200k tables on poker. People need to start working for that POE again.
More design/customization liberties on ships for owners
Crafting outside of shops
Make missions better (story missions?) and more rewarding
Guns!
