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 yes

Raz
The physical server is moving from Houston to Dallas - still in Texas though. messed

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 big grin..

JKozzy
How many hours ahead is GMT if I'm EST? confused I don't know what GMT is, forgive my stupidity stick out tongue
And the speed's cool now, but we don't want any over-work-age...

silver_tears
Isnt it the England time blink so it's five hours ahead of EST big grin

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 smart

rusky

Raz
Sorry people, I'm having some trouble with transferring the mailing system. It'll probably be another hour before the forum move.

yerssot

LanceWindu

It's a different time zone yes

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? blink

yerssot
yes, but as said a few times, it's around 8PM

LanceWindu
But YOU said...



That doesn't say around...stick out tongue

yerssot
lance:

Raz
New estimate - 9PM GMT erm

yerssot
ok... raz... the upgrade WILL take place this week, right?

LanceWindu
Well if you wanna get all technical roll eyes (sarcastic)



Poo. sad

yerssot
well, this is a section about being technical big grin

LanceWindu
I don't know the meaning of the word. cool

I just say it because it's snazzy.

yerssot
I just took a guess that that word fitted in this section messed

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 messed

Raz
No thats not a problem. It just takes AGES big grin

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* cool

LanceWindu
I've got DSL too, so the slow down is very minimal. cool

yerssot
we're still at highspeed big grin

silver_tears
I see no difference big grin

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 erm

Hmm....this is taking longer than I thought.

silver_tears
worth it in the long run smile

yerssot
I'm almost afraid to ask, but in order to speed things up, will you shut me down? messed

Raz
TinyTim is replacing you full time wink

Storm
laughing

yerssot
cry
It was a pleasure of working here

Storm
omg laughing

silver_tears
we'll miss you wavey

yerssot
roll eyes (sarcastic)

silver_tears
okay we won't stick out tongue I was only being nice roll eyes (sarcastic)

yerssot
reread what you just wrote and think again

silver_tears
and your point is messed

yerssot
you being nice

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 yes

yerssot
you better had not posted anything, as always taking up space roll eyes (sarcastic)

silver_tears
no wonder raz wants to get rid of you, being obsolete and all roll eyes (sarcastic)
at least TinyTim is friendly and nice erm

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 smart
so take your own advice big grin

yerssot
silver, please keep your fantasies and utter useless posts in the OTF,
the N&Q section is about SERIOUS threads and posts roll eyes (sarcastic)

silver_tears
so then why are you here roll eyes (sarcastic)
and believe me unlike other mind warped individuals you are no where near my fantasies yes

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 no

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

tptmanno1
Done yet??

yerssot

yerssot
sorry, now it is smile

Raz

yerssot
forum will go down now than?

Fire

Storm

Raz

yerssot

Raz
It's the redirect. That'll slow things down until tomorrow.

Storm

I have the impression that everything is going fast with me.

yerssot

Raz

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 confused

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 messed
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 big grin

Raz
oh right, that is normal.

silver_tears
is it just me or did the little announcement icon thing change blink

yerssot
still the same to me

DeNiro
I confused u all laughing out loud 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 thumb up I cant make annoucemnets sad stick out tongue

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 erm

I have to press back to go back to it.

yerssot
as said already here:

Raz

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 smile

btw, phoe, the problem is with the link of your sig, I think

Phoenix
?

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... blink

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
sad

*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 messed

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

yerssot
forward urling?

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...


big grin yes

Raz
OK in laymans words: Don't worry dear! It'll fix itself soon! big grin

Phoenix
laughing out loud

yerssot
