Server Upgrade Problems?
Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.
Raz
We will be moving to a faster more powerful server later on tonight, due to the fact the current one is being overworked.
The first step will involve the forums being closed for around 15-30 minutes. Once the database has been transferred the location of the forums will change temporarily.
Don't worry, you will not have to do anything as everything will be automated, including the redirection to the new location.
If you experience any problems, or just want to ask a question about the server move, then you can do so here.
rusky
Cool Raz... the speed isn't bad now anyway, guess it'll just be great after.
Where's the new server ?
And, good work handling all the redirection....very professional work Raz... congrats
Raz
The physical server is moving from Houston to Dallas - still in Texas though.
Oh and we haven't moved yet....it'll be around 7pm GMT
rusky
Oh... I'm sure it'll still be a pro-like move
..
JKozzy
How many hours ahead is GMT if I'm EST?
I don't know what GMT is, forgive my stupidity
And the speed's cool now, but we don't want any over-work-age...
silver_tears
Isnt it the England time
so it's five hours ahead of EST
so it would be around 2 pm EST
if I'm right
yerssot
GMT is Greenwich Time, that from england yes,
EST is Eastern Time if I'm not mistaken that's -5 hours
silver_tears
So I was right
rusky
Actually that's +5...
yerssot
in your options:
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/member.php?action=editoptions
it says -5
silver_tears
its -5 from GST
and GST is +5 from EST
rusky
ahh...damn...I mistook that for EET... oh well...u'r right then....for now...
rusky
sure...
..
Dude...u could outreply tinytim.. u have an OC-48 or smth ?
yerssot
I cannot reveal such private information
JKozzy
That's what I thought, but I didnt know if that was the time zone of Texas or England, I'm confused easily. Thanks yerssot
rusky
hmm.... I'm sure we can work out a deal
silver_tears
ahem
I answered you first schmoll
Syren
So, it's done then? Coz, it's like, 7:15pm here........... ((GMT))
yerssot
no, it will be AROUND 7PM and the forums still haven't closed down
np JK
Melani
what time is this happing at??? lol
yerssot
melani, as raz said, and actually repeated by me in the post right above you, around 7PM GMT (that's ... now), with the forums being closd for 15-30 minutes
Raz
Sorry people, I'm having some trouble with transferring the mailing system. It'll probably be another hour before the forum move.
yerssot
see, toldcha
Syren
Wow!! Melani, I love your sig, so pure!!
And yerssot, u utter know it all!! I loves ya man, how ya been???
yerssot
busy mostly;... definitly have to start working on my paper, but that's more for another thread
LanceWindu
7PM (GMT)
It's a different time zone
It's only Noon for me.
yerssot
yes, it's been said a few times that it was 7PM GMT, it's now postponed to 8PM GMT
LanceWindu
Isn't it 8PM (GMT) right now?
yerssot
yes, but as said a few times, it's around 8PM
LanceWindu
But YOU said...
That doesn't say around...
yerssot
lance:
see that he doesn't say it EXACTLY is for the next hour
Raz
New estimate - 9PM GMT
yerssot
ok... raz... the upgrade WILL take place this week, right?
LanceWindu
Well if you wanna get all technical
Poo.
yerssot
well, this is a section about being technical
LanceWindu
I don't know the meaning of the word.
I just say it because it's snazzy.
yerssot
I just took a guess that that word fitted in this section
Raz
OK, mail problem has been fixed. Now moving the main site which is many gigabytes. Should take about 15 mins.
LanceWindu
Does it fit? sweat
I'm not sure.
yerssot
I have no idea what so ever
Raz
No thats not a problem. It just takes AGES
BTW, you might notice the forums might be less resposive..
LanceWindu
Yes, I've already noticed it moving slower than normal.
yerssot
*cruises further on his DSL*
LanceWindu
I've got DSL too, so the slow down is very minimal.
yerssot
we're still at highspeed
silver_tears
I see no difference
Raz
The 4Gb backup has been created, so the slowdown should have stopped.
I'm transferring the file right now, and it says it's going to take 50mins
Hmm....this is taking longer than I thought.
silver_tears
worth it in the long run
yerssot
I'm almost afraid to ask, but in order to speed things up, will you shut me down?
Raz
TinyTim is replacing you full time
yerssot
cry
It was a pleasure of working here
Storm
omg
silver_tears
we'll miss you wavey
silver_tears
okay we won't
I was only being nice
yerssot
reread what you just wrote and think again
silver_tears
and your point is
silver_tears
always to people I like
yerssot
there ya go, you said you were being nice when you clearly weren't
silver_tears
hence the sarcasm
yerssot
you better had not posted anything, as always taking up space
silver_tears
no wonder raz wants to get rid of you, being obsolete and all
at least TinyTim is friendly and nice
yerssot
try to be nice by sticking to the topic, this isn't the otf aterall
silver_tears
bite me and so you know you went off topic first
so take your own advice
yerssot
silver, please keep your fantasies and utter useless posts in the OTF,
the N&Q section is about SERIOUS threads and posts
silver_tears
so then why are you here
and believe me unlike other mind warped individuals you are no where near my fantasies
yerssot
I can only be relieved to hear that,
despite what you do here, I try my best to help people with any questions they have considering the forum and their pc, and perhaps other questions they may ask here
once again, stop trying to troll in a section that should be considered as one of the most serious ones of the entire forum
Raz
yers, no need to be hostile
Anyway, another 20 mins or so left
yerssot
oh, I'm not hostile at all raz
I don't mind any jokes from certain people, just if some try to be wisecracks or what ever, ... no... not by a long shot they can get away with that
yerssot
few more minutes I think
yerssot
sorry, now it is
yerssot
forum will go down now than?
Storm
woohoo, it' s done
Raz
yay!
yerssot
actually, it's going slower for me now
Raz
It's the redirect. That'll slow things down until tomorrow.
Storm
slow
I have the impression that everything is going fast with me.
yerssot
tsk tsk tsk, always the slowing down
but on the other hand, you didn't delete me ... yet
Raz
Then it'll be EVEN faster tomorrow!
silver_tears
The times are off
they are an hour ahead
silver_tears
um now two hours
and some attachments arent working
Raz
fixed. where is the attachment?
silver_tears
http://kmctemp.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26455&perpage=20&pagenumber=42
thats one, not sure about others
Raz
ok fixed
any other probs?
yerssot
direct link from above link : http://kmctemp.killermovies.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1151145
checked, doesn't work
silver_tears
I see it
Checked few other threads all good on attachments there
and it's going faster, or similar to how before for me
Ushgarak
Raz- old problem resurfaced. Blank page after editing.
Raz
Hmm...don't think I ever found a solution. Anyway, it should fix itself by tomorrow *crosses fingers*
Ushgarak
Oh yeah, I remember, it fixed itself! Weird...
silver_tears
should the cannot find server page be popping up
Raz
don't worry, i know about that one. but if you get more, post here.
DeNiro
Hey Raz I was just wondering why in the serve complete or what ever sticky when you clcik on that and you look under your name it says when you joined and how many posts you have, then when i clcik on the problems screen it went back to normal?
yerssot
how do you mean with "back to normal"? I don't follow your last part
you mean he got posts and not location?
Raz
click on what exactly?
silver_tears
Click on the link, it brings you here and your location works, but in the announcement thing it has your post count instead
Raz
oh right, that is normal.
silver_tears
is it just me or did the little announcement icon thing change
yerssot
still the same to me
DeNiro
I confused u all
Ok here is the thing I belong to Freakzonline and they have a post count under our names and not location. And when you click on the link leading to Raz's post abou the server it says how many posts he has. Then when you come here it is back to normal no post count. I was just wondering why it changed in there.
Raz
Annoucements and forums posts are different.
DeNiro
Got ya thanks
I cant make annoucemnets
Punker69
I dont understand whats happening.
silver_tears
there is a problem when you edit.
for me now it only goes to a white page, and it says done in the corner but nothing shows up, it does edit the post, but doesnt automatically take me there
I have to press back to go back to it.
yerssot
as said already here:
yerssot
when will the new one be in use?
Raz
I'm not sure, the DNS update is taking longer than I'd expected
Phoenix
It said it was uploaded, i pasted the image code, yet it won' work, it just has a red X
Arwene
phoenix go to edit options ...upload it agian.. then past the code into the siggy box and click on save if nothing comes up contact a mod
yerssot
same goes for you arwene, I don't see yours
Arwene
arghhh i can see it
yerssot
hit F5 and you'll see
btw, phoe, the problem is with the link of your sig, I think
Arwene
okay now my siggy has vanished....arghhh
yerssot
just upload your sig, copy the code and use the -tags... that or that is impossible until the forum is fully moved
Phoenix
thats what i did...
yerssot
hmmm, than my best guess would be that you have to wait till the entire forum is replaced to the new server, phoe
Phoenix
*sulks*
Phoenix
I wanted to pay my respects to Haldir...
Phoenix
^^
the sig I was attempting to load...
yerssot
well, just a few hours more and you'll get it to work I guess
Storm
Looks like I' m not the only one.
yerssot
perhaps it's something that affects all sigs?
Phoenix
could be... I'll go to the 'Problems with Server' thread and ask Raz...
Phoenix
Raz, a lot of people ((me being one of them)) are having problems with their sig pics. they don't load up, they are just red X's
yerssot
yeah, I think it can be if the sigs are uploaded to the database that it can go wrong, can it be?
Ushgarak
Yeah. we are on an temporary net address right now so I guess that might make the custom sigs unaccessible for a while.
Raz
You must have uploaded it after the upgrade.
I'll look into a better solution.
Raz
The images are being pulled from the old server. When you upload new sigs, it goes to the new server. The old server doesn't know about the new images, and thus can't show them.
I'll look into a solution.
yerssot
raz, yours still works, if it's uploaded on a seperate server, I have a few MB free normally to store some sigs
Raz
I tried that yesterday and it messed up. Well it was 2am in the morning, so I probably wasn't thinking straight.
yerssot
do you have it in cache perhaps? link it to that?
Phoenix
*confused by technospeak*
I'll just smile and nod...
Raz
OK in laymans words: Don't worry dear! It'll fix itself soon!
yerssot
testing

phoe, for now, you can use this link (don't forget the img-tags) :
http://users.skynet.be/bk335765/haldir.jpg
Phoenix
ooh!
*hugs yerss*
mmmmmmmmmmmmm... Haldir....
Phoenix
wouldn't let me...
Raz
I'll add it
Phoenix
*hugs Raz*
have some chocolate! me's got a chocolate teddybear for my birthday...
