|  | Func_Msgboard Server Change

Posted by metlslime [66.135.131.134] on 2005/01/22 06:25:42

Hi everybody. In the next day or two I'm planning to switch celephais.net over to a new webhost. For Func, this will mean some downtime while I transfer the absolute latest database image to the new server. I'm going to post in this thread a few minutes before the board goes down so nobody loses a post (hopefully.)
There will of course be a DNS change involved too, but that's less of a big deal as you will be able to use the IP address of the new server as soon as the board is ready to use.

Haha

Meaning that I can post whatever I want here and it won't be in the latest DB image?
HAHAHAHAHAH
Which

no; that's what i'm going to avoid by shutting the forum down before the switch.
Oh Sure Answer His Question And Not Mine!

func is going down in 45 minutes. That means at 5:30pm pacific time.
We're Back!

However, the DNS change is still waiting on domaindirect.com customer service to unlock the domain record so that i can change name servers. Once that happens, then it'll be another day or two before celephais.net resolves to the new server.
In the meantime you can log in and post, but when the DNS change propogates, you might have to log in again (becuase your cookies will be for globat.com instead of celephais.net)

My technical ignorance abounds...
Clicking on your link or the News Archive link or the View All Threads link gives a 'Cannot find server or DNS Error' ? Everything else OK.
Zone Alarm and Norton Anti Virus running.
Is someone picking on me?
No

I Can View It...

with IE. I wonder if the size of the page (180k) gets blocked by some people's installed software. If you suspect zone alarm or norton anti virus, why not disable them temporarily and try it?
Still

Doesn't load in IE either, and I even disabled my firewall - doesn't load either way.
Or
#27 posted by Vondur [195.128.65.237] on 2005/01/27 05:22:08
edit filters of these programs to allow celephais.net w/o any restrictions
OR MAYBE

It's just that your DNS servers haven't been updated with celephais.net's new info yet.
Use Ping
#29 posted by aguirRe [213.101.70.248] on 2005/01/27 05:49:59
or similar on the domains celephais.net or www.celephais.net. The IP should be 203.22.204.78. Otherwise the remote DNS hasn't been updated yet or you're using some local DNS cache. Try flushing it.
Btw, smooth server move metlslime!
Oh Yeah I Flushed The Cache Too..

But now...
When you walk, through a storm, hold your head up high...
...you'll never walk alone.
Me and Phait, strolling down life's highway, arm on shoulder and singing...
Strollin', just strollin',

I don't envy the rich in their automobiles...
Hurrah For Metslime's Server Change

As well as Phait and Mike W having problems, and Lun's posts disappearing, I've had quite a few "server cannot be found" errors, and some exciting internal msgboard errors such as:
Error: Invalid Icon Specified
Error: Post or topic does not exist
Hurrah for progress!! :P

i've been hacking away the past few days, trying to improve the post validation on client and server. These errors you've seen are the result of you visiting during moments when the site is broken becuase of my changes being half-done.
Re: server not found; this is more troubling. I hope these don't foretell a lot of server downtime on the new host.

Server was down a couple of minutes during the beginning of the afternoon (near 13:00 here in france.., that seems to mean 04:00 for Func_ hour noted in post...), but now it's restored, perhaps Shamy saw this proble as well ?
Ah Splendid...
#35 posted by Shambler [82.38.194.13] on 2005/02/03 05:07:11
I was quite amused by the invalid icon error anyway =).
Yeah think I got the same thing as JPL there.
