Site Host Move

[Paul C]

Canalworld will move to our new hosts on Tuesday morning (16th June 2015), during which there will be a short period of downtime while all the data is copied from one to another host.

The expected down time is around 2-3hours from 9am onwards.

Hi ya Gang,

Um,,,Er,,, will we need our password to get back in after the 'move' ?.

As cough cough I've forgotten mine !

[Paul C]

Nope, all the login details are unchanged and you shouldn't even need to log in again if you're currently logged in.

[Paul's Nulife4-2]

Brill, Thanks Paul.

[larkshall]

[Paul C]

Goodbye all, its been lovely.

 

Do you believe you'll be one of the few members who don't get migrated over to the new host properly?

[bargemast]

Success with the move Paul, I'm looking forward to the improved performance provided by the new host.

You have got around to writing the bit of script that randomly lops one in a hundred of the members from the database as it passed from one host to the then next then? Good work. Keep them on their toes....

I though it was meant to delete any member reaching 12,310 posts

Good luck Paul!

 

As it happens, I have no problems with response time or error messages this evening. Hopefully the new host will provide better support and thus avoid future problems.

 

Thank you for all your time and effort!

Edit: I spoke (posted) too soon! At 21:18 four posts I opened in new tabs and this one produced error messages like;

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 13631488) (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /home/ggbqjfrf/public_html/forums/admin/sources/classes/output/publicOutput.php(1759) : eval()'d code on line 394

I would imagine the hard bit is timing the moving of the database etc to coincide with with propagation of the revised DNS records.

 

Hope it all goes to plan and the problems are fixed by the move. Here in Reading the site is virtually unusable tonight having been ok (ish) for the last few days while I've been on the boat.

 

Much thanks for all your work in doing this, Dan, Paul and anyone else involved.

 

Dan, are you planning to come to Braunston Rally? Will stand you a few pints if I catch you!

I would imagine the hard bit is timing the moving of the database etc to coincide with with propagation of the revised DNS records.

As I understand it he new hosts have set up a new nameserver, which mirrors the current one and hence directs to the current site, we have then move the DNS to point at there namesever, which propagates over the last 24hours. The new hosts nameserver is on a 1hour change whatsit

 

So tomorrow morning they new hosts will.

- Put the current iteration of the site into 'offline' mode to prevent changes to the database.

- Make the change on their name server, which everyone should be then be going through.

- Re-sync the database and any new files in the gallery etc to the current 'test site' on there server.

- The test site is then put live, which is now the live site on the new server will everyones up to date posts.

- Leaving us to mop everything up with the old host and stop paying them.

- Total downtime should be around 2 hours assuming nothing untoward occurs.

Dan, are you planning to come to Braunston Rally? Will stand you a few pints if I catch you!

 

Living life fairly day-to-day at the moment, but I plan to make an appearance by car, yes.

 

Will attempt to make myself obvious. I will also PM you my mobile no.

Where is it we're going to again ? It's not Carlisle by any chance is it? Ah well, fingers crossed and I do hope we don't bounce too much on landing like that poor little explorer probe Philae on the comet.

 

Au revoir et bon chance!

Well old host it's 8.45 and I fear your time here at CWF is almost over. Farewell.

[Paul C]

The site is now offline and about to be moved. This is the last post on the old server!

[Paul C]

This is the first post on the new host/server.

[tree monkey]

You cheated!

 

Anyway thanks for all your work
