Server switch to be scheduled sometime soon

[MM]

In collaboration with a couple of other helpful BMs, the server will be switched over to another platform in the next two weeks.

 

The switch day depends to a great extent on all parties not being hungover and awake of the day of the switch, including yours truly

 

When the switch occurs, I will announce it beforehand in this section, but the warning will be brief, as I need to shut down the current server to synchronize files and databases to the new server. Once that is done, we will switch to the new server without losing any messages.

 

So, be aware that at some time in the next two weeks, it could be a day, or a week, or two weeks, as I said, depending on the availability of the collaborators, we will be offline for a while.

For grins, call the 2016 POTUS election right after 08 November voting begins, either Hill or Trump will do, and get the conspiracy crowd worked up. Then shut her down.

I have gotten the "team" together, and it looks like we'll do the switch tomorrow morning (2 Nov) local Thai time.

 

The server will be offline for a while (hour or two).

 

We will switch the DNS (IP address lookup) to the new server during that time.

 

You will get no responses for a while or FORUM OFFLINE messages until we activate the copied databases.

 

If the forum continues to not respond or timeout, do a REFRESH on your browser window to re-acquire the IP address of the forum.

 

If that doesn't work, and if you are running Windows, open a command prompt in administrative mode and type ipconfig /flushdns

If you are reading this, you have successfully reached the new server.

 

Please report any observed problems in this thread.

Looks good as always to myself, no problems :-)

 

Good work MM and team of IT gurus.

When I try to use the quote function, I get an error message "You do not have permission for this action."

[Evil Penevil]

Wow! I didn't even notice the interruption.

That's not something I have noticed. Perhaps you need to refresh your cache or even delete your pattayatalk cache.

That's the best way!

Congratulations on an apparently seamless transition to the new server. Given all the possible problems you might have encountered on the switch, that's quite an accomplishment.

[Lantern]

Well done MM I didn't even notice also.

Seamless.

[yorta2]

No problems from Australia. Well done!

All good from Planet Perth Oz.

Good now. Quien sabe

[biggles]

all good from AC in the Philippines as well.

[Odense]

Well done MM and team.

Works well from Denmark too.

[jacko]

Had a few issues with 'Go To First Unread' with 'Service Unavailable' responses, but not 100%

 

Other than that things are looking pretty good.

[TKR Bones]

Tip of me hat, to all involved.
