Server migration time!

[mol]

Folks,

It is finally that time. After several snafus regarding billing with our current datacenter, I have finally procured services somewhere else. So, we will be migrating to new servers within a week. I will publish a migration plan soon. We will most likely migrate all of the *sister* sites of MW first (cot, mwdark, mwad, etc) before migrating MW.

I will keep you all informed of my progress.

[HetHert]

Good!

I'll keep good thoughts that the dataz are migrated successfully!

Good good good
Good migration
I'm thinking about a good migration
It's givin me some excitation <-- not really. :hehehehe:

Sorry I couldn't resist and I'm a little wacky from building servers this morning.

[Cassie]

Good!

Oh, and for us non techno types, what can we expect during the migration? Downtime? Wierdness? Cookies?

[WitchOfEndor]

Can we migrate to somewhere tropical? Oopps not that type of migration, damn. :(

[Cunae]

As Yoda would say (I miss that thread): Migration we must!

[TheWomanMonster]

sounds good Mol.

[Flaire-FireStar]

I don't have my migration fat on yet! Are we flying the whole way?

[Clair de la Lune]

You may certainly have some of mine.:hahugh:

[MammaStar]

Okey Dokey Boss Man! :thumbsup:

[Flaire-FireStar]

:toofless: Only if I can have some superpill (or something) to take it off (plus my own fat) too.

[Æon Flux]

Alrighty. Seatbelts... check, Luggage.... check... I'm ready!:thumbsup:

:hahugh:

Ruh-roh... good point! My calendar shows Mercury stationing direct on the 15th, in case anyone wants to take that under advisement. :weirdsmil

[mol]

Wow. Chrome sucks on the multiquote. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Strap in. It's happening.

[mol]

I remember the day when I posted something there would be hundreds of replies...

I like this.

I am working on shit. If something seems weird...ignore it.

[Flaire-FireStar]

I can give you hundreds of replies if you want. ;)

[mol]

What? :cutie:

[Shawn Blackwolf]

Truth is...after 3 years...I trust your expertise , Mol...

Even if SNAFU and FUBAR are your companions...:thumbsup:

[TheWomanMonster]

All seems good so far!

[Flaire-FireStar]

Are we there yet? :hehehehe:

[lightdragon]

so far so good.

[Cloaked Raven]

Are we there yet? :hehehehe:
:lol: I was thinking the same thing!!!

[mol]

Nope...not yet. I am still doing prep work.

I am about to move the magazine and cot. They will be inaccessible for a day or so.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Are they there yet?

[mol]

Are they there yet?
Getting there.

The cot and the magazine are migrated. It will take a day or so for dns to propagate, so they might be unreachable if you try to access them.

I am about to move mwad now. I will post a temporary link so that it can be accessed until the domains resolve.

[mol]

Mwad is on the move.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Well, I like the error message, but links? :lol:

[mol]

Mwad is on the move.
Mwad is moved. Here is the temporary link:

http://68.169.40.153/mysticwicksafterdark.com

I am done for the night. Tomorrow we will move mw dark and mw.

[Flaire-FireStar]

:hyper:

Can you have a gander at what's mucked up with MWDark? (See my last reported post in Admins, yo.)

[lightdragon]

the link for MWAD works for me.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Oh BTW, it says the MWAD forums are currently turned of Mr. Mol. :eyebrow:

[lightdragon]

:eyebrow::eyez:

[Chaos Hawk]

are we there yet?

[Old Witch]

I ain't migrating...You can't make me.....

[mol]

:hyper:

I am about to move mw dark. So, I will fix any problems after that.


Oh BTW, it says the MWAD forums are currently turned of Mr. Mol. :eyebrow:

Still?

Can you folks try to go to:

http://mysticwicksafterdark.com and let me know if the front page comes up?

[mol]

Everything is working for mwad...as far as I can tell. However, you need to clear your cache and cookies else it wont let you log into the site. The same thing will happen to mw dark and mw.

So, I am moving mw dark now.

[mol]

MW dark has moved. The temp link is:

http://68.169.40.153/mwdark.com/

The domains will resolve within the next day or so.

[mol]

Now it is time for the BIG BOY...MW. =]

[mol]

It's all done, folks. I am sure there will be some hiccups while I tune the servers, but the worst part is definitely over.

I will continue to monitor the servers closely. In case of any problems, just let me know.

[GEBS]

Hail mol!

I love you, husband. Good job! And thank you!!

[Chaos Hawk]

yay :boing:

[TheWomanMonster]

woooo!
:hi5:

[Toby Stimpson]

I think we have all arrived safely. Now we're in a new server, time to colonize this place! I demand the western portion! I shall name it... Octabia, Land of the Octabians!
:hailmol:

[lightdragon]

I'll take the eastern portion.

[WitchOfEndor]

Thank you Mol :)

[Flaire-FireStar]

*looks at watch* Jeez louise my cmoputer must hate MW today 'cause it took me a while to get in after you were done. :(

[mol]

Hail mol!

I love you, husband. Good job! And thank you!!
Smoooochies!!! =] I love you, too.

We did it!

[Infinite Grey]

Smoooochies!!! =] I love you, too.

We did it!

I love you three!


Good job btw - it was a relatively painless transition.

[Shawn Blackwolf]

Thanks for the trouble , Mol...:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Yay!

[LostSheep]

Ah, it defaults back to the, well, default setting then, I presume.
I rather like the orange, actually.

I do, too. I like the others as well, but I like the sleek look.

Looks like the domains are resolving already.

Dont hail me yet! There is still a lot of tweaking to do...this damn thing is fast...then slow...then fast....then..

[Flaire-FireStar]

..it won't load at all? :neh:

[mol]

..it won't load at all? :neh:
Booooooo!

[Lunacie]

I guess I keep missing the fast - all I'm getting is the slow. Guess my timings off.

[TheWomanMonster]

Well when it works it works really really well for me.
:uhhuhuh:

Does that mean that you can't even get in some of the time? That's the issue I'm having.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Pretty much. Like I said on the other thread, I have to bounce between mysticwicks.com and mysticwickscommunity.com to get it to work all the time. :eyebrow:

[Sharedaughter]

When I tried to get in Sunday evening and today (didn't try Monday), I kept getting a google-type page. Clicking on titles there kept sending me to another google-type page, so I gave up for a while. About 6 pm Eastern Time today I got right in.:boing:

I was a little unhappy, but figured it had something to do with the server-moving, so I didn't go over the edge, just got a little edgy. :weirdsmil

I don't think you were the only one.

And THAT is the ticket.

I am still working on this, folks. Give me some time. My day job boasts 12-15 hour days on top of the research I am doing to fix the performance issues here.

I will figure it out.

I understand you have a real job as well, but didn't know it was still such long days. When do you get to have a "life"? :weirdsmil

When I am dead.

[Sharedaughter]

When I am dead.

Ouch!! :collapse: :hugz::hugz:

[Flaire-FireStar]

Poor overworked mol. :p

[Lunacie]

When I am dead.

If you keep going at this rate - that could be sooner than expected eh?

I sure hope not though.
