Steph is moving the board to a new more reliable server and all the kinks are getting worked out. So there may be some errors here and there which Drew can check out. So instead of complaining we should be thanking her.

It's me! We are finally done moving and the board is still "propagating" to the new server.

I had a terrible time moving everything as the old server failed when I tried to copy and move accounts. So, we had to ftp everything manually from IView including the Board mysql database backups. We still might lose some posts but hopefully everything was moved correctly. I'm going to do another backup from the old server tonight, just in case. When everything is done, the board should be much faster as we have 4 times the storage and RAM.

Sorry for any outages. Cross your fingers that everything worked. Actually, considering the state of the old server, I'm thankful that we were able to salvage everything.

You're awesome.

Steph.

Hmmm, that reminds me, my regular download of db backups stopped when I reinstalled my system. Drop me a line with the new root password and I'll set up a cron job for the mysql backup. Losing the db would suck

w00t, new server!

awesome!

We're up and running on the new server now Had to disable the board for about a half hour to move the DB over.

Everyone should be using this now. I updated DNS on the old server until the ns record change propagates. The only catch is if people are still caching the old IP for the server, but there's not much we can do about that (it's probably being cached at the ISP level).

edit: set up an alternate host at messageboard.incubusview.com on the old DNS, so anyone still using the old server as a name server will get redirected over to here. Worked for my test case, so people should be able to get themselves over here - although it'll stop working once their DNS servers update, and they'll have to go back to the normal url.

GODS AMONGST ADMIN.

Thanks guys.

[Jeeh]

The last couple of days almost every posted post ended in Debug mode.

I know how to avoid posting things twice, but is there anything I can do about this? Or is one of the common starting-problems of the new server?

yes. i have this problem too, it posts, but it gives me that debug post, and my post shows up as one of the unread posts.

[Needle]

hm, it doesn't happen on this subforum.

I'm getting some sort of "failed to create session variable" thing when I first come to the site quite often. Is this a known issue?

I just noticed the sessions issue. I've remedied it for right now, but it'll come back. I'll look into a permanent fix.

Steph was going to take a look at the e-mail config for the debug log - it has to do with new smtp server settings.

I'm hoping I fixed the issue - I increased the size of the table, although it shouldn't have hit the limit at the number of sessions that are in there.

Getting this when I try to come to the forum. I am n autologin and basically need to hit f5 until it stops erroring. once the session is created there is no problem.
