I am tentatively going to do a server upgrade in February. This will take the forum offline for a couple of days maximum. When I make the agreement with the hosting company I will post more details.

2 days in Feb. months since hunting, and months till it begins again. There will be riots in the streets, hide the women and children. No one is safe, not even moles! Then suddenly peace and harmony will happen, as the new servers give life back to us.

Good, I will have to plan on going hunting for a couple days then, instead of sitting here on the 'puter getting fat. :)
-
:yeah: shoot my own yotes instead looking at other peoples.
-
Thank you RAY for all that you do to keep this site up and going strong.
-
thanks for the warning. We would not want to be suprised, at least not like that.
-
Thanks for the dedication Ray.

hey ray you may want to post this in the general discussion so more members will see it i usually dont get anywhere near the technical topics section, this just happened to pop up in the "recent topics" and i clicked on it
just a thought
-
Right around valentines day would be perfect since I'm probably not allowed on the day before, day of and the day after anyway. :chuckle:
-
But you will probably be out taking pictures then anyhow!! :chuckle:
-
Thanks Ray! Funny you say that...i was wondering when my Bone Porn was getting a Fase lift
-
Truth that Sky, I am currently trying to survive Anniversary and her birthday. I am already feeling withdrawal symptoms.
-
It's set. Probably between these dates there will be an outage for a day or two. Perhaps longer but we'll have to see.
February 16-23.
-
:puke:
-
Finally I will get something done ;) Mark
-
:yike: :'( Maybe I'll figure out who those two other people living here are?
-
I'll be getting access to the new server on the 16th. This process will require down time as it always does. Probably from 8 hours to 24 hours. Right now I will target the 18th of February for some action.

Aren't we entitled to some sort of child support during this time? I will be under Cathie's feet and am going to get yelled at. What if I need some sort of mental help during this time. Who is going to pay for that? I want my blankie.
-
Ray can you please postpone it until I am on vacation??
-
Everyone better check their logins on all those other sites so you can go poaching during the down time!
-
Great!
The murder (could never even think about suicide) rate on the South Hill will definitely go up during that time, LOL.

Umm? Were? Thought it was awful quiet upstairs....
-
What, Off line? Oh the pain...
-
Well it is looking like the hosting company is a bunch of idiots. I scheduled the change but they said it wasn't within 30 days. They are really irking me because I have been in touch with them for the past 45 days on this matter. Bad enough on this that I might even drop them and go with someone else. I'm not calling it off yet but it may not happen next week.
-
Thanks for the update Ray.
-
It's on. I might get access to the server today. Had to do a little stiff-arming.
-
Good Luck!
-
I'm in. The server looks better (hardly noticeable to most I am sure). It's cheaper too.
Let's shoot for thursday evening at 9:00 pm for an outage until Friday evening at 9:00 PM
-
Thats good, I won't be around all day friday anyhow, I'll be catching sturgeon till my hands and arms are so sore I can't :rolleyes: .........................Nevermind !!!
At least it will be back up in time to post a report !!! :P

seriously though thanks for all that you do ray

Been uploading the pictures to the new server. It's been running non stop over 24 hours. I will delay the final move and will do it sort of unannounced. You can almost bet it will not be when I am at work. Probably tomorrow night some time. Keep posting away. Expected down time 2-8 hrs when it does go offline. When I bring it back online it might be missing some attachments and photo gallery items but I will continue updating over the weekend. Next time I will have them slave the drive an copy it in less than 2 hours and suck up the 100 bucks.
-
Thanks Ray!
-
Maintenance still underway for the next day or so. We have moved onto the new server but I have not finished the entire migration. There will be images missing, etc.
-
I'm going to have to take this offline for a while again shortly. When I ported over the database some of the tables were not kept in their original format. This makes for slower performance.
-
Ray,
Thanks for the work this weekend, on the move. It is really appreciated. Keep up the good work!!!!!! :tup: :tup: :tup:
-
Thanks Ray! :)
-
Just an update. It will probably take half the week to finish uploading attachments and make another pass on the gallery. Until then there will be red x's where the photos were. I'm sure some might be lost in the move but they should be few among the 70,000 plus images and attachments. This morning when I left for work we were still only at 71% of uploading the attachments which had run several times over the last few days. This has been a real waste of time when the WinSCP application crashes part way through.
Anyway most features should work as they have before. With the exception of emails to comcast and some others like godaddy rejecting forum notices already. Note they are the problem - not our server. They simply do not acknowledge the new server correctly. They have been contacted but they have ownership and make final decisions on their blacklists.
-
70,000 attachments?
:o
thanks for the hard work Ray...
-
I'll be taking a look next week at some house cleaning on attachments. There are some evident turd files left in there when people attempt to upload too large of images or topics get deleted. As it stands the attachments folder is around 35 Gigabytes and yes over 70,000 files.
-
I think this will be the last update. Still looking to fix broken thumbnails and missing images. Some full size images I know are missing for good but most are not. Just the thumbnails.
Broken thumbnails can be clicked on about 85% of the time to view the full size image. I'm about burned out of trying to fix this stuff. So if you have an image which is broken feel free to take a moment to fix it for now by just re-uploading the image and removing the old one.
I'll look next week for a solution to rebuild the thumbnail images. If it turns out a dead end then oh well. I suppose I could have paid the hundred bucks to slave the drive in order to ensure that no data was lost transferring across the network but it's too late now. I just didn't think it was needed. The last time we did an upgrade on the server without slaving the drive off was less than 18 gigs. Now it's around 45 gigs. That was almost two years ago.
