Server Move Saturday Evening

[Dan The Man]

Hi Folks,

Late this evening I'll be moving ODJT to a new VPS instance; this should fix some of the sluggishness, stability, and connectivity issues we've had as of late.

You should see the site normally in the morning. In case you don't you will see a notice advising of the move.

Thanks,
Dan

We're now live on the new server. You should see us soon.

Seeing seeing seeing! Thanks for the hard work Dan. It is appreciated!

 

[Dan The Man]

Thanks guys. The move went astoundingly well. If I keep this up people might think I know what I'm doing.

 

[ittigger]

You know what your doing?

 

[Dan The Man]

We're gonna be moving again. I leased a new server with the same company it's on a different platform though. Hopefully this cures the throughput issues I've been seeing.

The move will most likely take place tomorrow evening.

Everything fell in place for the move to happen this evening. Move completed at 5:45am. You guys should start seeing the site on the new server shortly.

It does appear to be much snappier today. Merci beaucoup.

Hmmm...wish I did...

Glad to hear things are better. The site definitely does feel snapper than me. Same host, same size VPS, different VPS platform though. I guess KVM vs OpenVZ really does make a difference. I'll keep that in mind for future endeavors.

One thing I'm not impressed about is my root password randomly decides not to work.

This morning it was hit or miss ... wouldn't connect for a good 30min. Now it's fine.

Thanks Steve. It's possible DNS was still bouncing around. I'm considering dumping this provider as their support has been horrible thus far. 3 times my root password randomly decided not to work. Plus, chances are if I'm asking for help I need at least a level 2 tech. Not some level 1 tech copy/pasting replies.

Just fixed a rather odd error concerning a crashed mySQL table that @ittigger alerted me to. That's odd an usually a sign that a hard drive is about to die.
