MOVING SERVERS TODAY

[Tony]

Please be aware we are moving to a new server in the US today, some posts made here today may not appear on the new server depending on when the mysql database is sampled.  You may also lose connectivity while DNS updates.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

[Julian]

I'm sure you've done one, but I'll do a backup.  It says it will take about 2 hrs ... hope there's time!

[Tony]

I have a backup.  Actually the uplink on the server is saturated by both of us downloading the backup (I'm also copying it to the server in the US).

Good luck.
Does this mean the American security services will be able to watch our every move now?

[Julian]

I don't think you really need it, but good luck with the move.

[Tony]

If you're reading this, your DNS is up to date and you're looking at the new server

All seems to be working ok here, apart from a thread that is conspicuous by its absence.

Not to worry, you did say some things might disappear. Not a problem.


My mistake. The thread is still there. It's just not appearing in todays posts.

I think the forum is on American time.

Yup, all working for me too, well done Tony.

I agree time appears to be wrong, which I'm guessing is the issue with recent posts.

I was tweaking the servers clock at the time you posted.

Will look into spelling later. Report any other anomalies here too please.

I think the transition went smoothly.

Suspect related to the clock offset. I guess today's posts won't show posts made in the future as they're not 'today' yet, if that makes sense?

Should show now the clock is correct.

Time travel. Love it.

Well done Tony. Excellent job.
