Kev Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Incase you didn't notice all the red banners, we're moving servers. We tried this a while back and got held up by some glitches.. We're going to try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 They ran into another glitch last night so, I don't know if we're on the new server yet or not.. I'll post when I find out more info.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacked Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 can we post again for now or can we still possibly lose the posts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just an update.. The website is now running on the new server so, we are making progress! I wanted to do our testing with that site before trying to move this one. Good positive steps! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Apologies with the slow process! We ran into a glitch with the forum software that they're going to help us out with this afternoon. Being a brand new server, there were just a few things we didn't see coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Update: We're trying to push to the new server but, where the current server is, the upload speeds are really bad. So, it's a slow go and we are working on some solutions to speed things us.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really dont want to loose members over this. ah, thanks for the info! Man DSL ... have not heard that thrown around when talking migrations in a loooooong time ? No worries, we wont be going anywhere over this! This is just a little hiccup and plus, Coop would have to learn a new password for a new site and I am pretty sure his brain is maxed out on passwords with all 2 in there now ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well, we're having some issues with the forum software on the new server. The forums are open now and we'll pull another backup before making the final move. Because we have the first back up, we can push that first to test so, the actual move should be less than an hour. Again, apologies for the duration! Thanks to the team behind the scenes! I know you guys put in a lot of hours and late nights to pull this off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 1 minute ago, temp said: The problem currently is after backing up literally the entire directory with the forum on the old site aswell as the sql database and no html file in site so the new forum comes up with an html error due to there not being one. It seems that I recall this problem in the past. Will check into my notes? Ditto what BW said, we’re here for the long haul. Thank you and Kev both for providing us with a great site and for your hard work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Just a heads up, I think we're going to try this again on Wednesday. We're trying to do it late at night so there should be little interruption. We'll have to grab another back up so, posts after that point won't be transferred. I'll make sure all the red banners are up so that it's obvious and you know. Again, this is just a heads up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 We've ran some tests with the old backup that we grabbed and were able to move that over so, we're not anticipating any major issues this time. I know I've mentioned this but, this will now be living on my server. That means that the monthly bills I'm paying now will go away! Of course for what I have invested in that server, this site could have probably stayed open for years...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
