anyweb Posted August 6, 2009 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 hi all, as the final part of the server update, I will be reinstalling the server hosting the forums over the next few days, I've prepared a mirror server and I'll make a DNS switch sometime during this time period.... If all goes well you won't notice a thing, but just in case something goes wrong I want you to understand why (i've mirrored the site, will point DNS to the mirror, then reinstall the old server, then restore the forums on the server, then point dns back to the original server) my aim is to keep this as invisible and seemless as possible but who knows what may happen cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted August 7, 2009 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 ok i have now completed the first phase of the server reinstallation the mirror is created *this is it*, and dns is now pointing to the backup server, I will update this post later today cheers niall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted August 8, 2009 Report post Posted August 8, 2009 fyi, had some minor issues with php this afternoon (memory_limit) which are hopefully now resolved, and my server hoster has informed me that while they were reinstalling my server in amsterdam there was a hardware failure... so let's hope they provide me with a new one soon, i'll update here when i know more cheers niall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
