SITE MOVE / BOARD DOWNTIME

Started by Atragon9,

Posted · Report post

During the week of October 27-31, the STSF.NET website will be moving to a new back end server.  When the final steps are taken, the Message Boards will go out of service for 30-90 minutes to accomplish the copy and relocation of the data.  More information will be posted when we are sure of the exact date and time.

Expect to see the boards taken offline sometime during the late evening of the 26th or early on the 27th.  I have the board already installed on the new server, tested it, and everything appears to be working.  It's currently pulling the posts and such from this server's database.

 

As soon as I'm ready, the boards will be taken offline, the posts and all related material backed up, and moved over.  I'll then be changing the boards here to point to the new server.  For a couple days, the board will be using the new server's IP address.  

 

After I have checked to make sure everything is transfered, I'll be redirecting the site's DNS information to the new server.  That should be done fairly soon.

 

There are no changes you have to make for this move, all bookmarks and links should continue to work.  And all services should still be available.   If you have any questions, please send me a Private Message.
