Migrating Server


modetwo

Recommended Posts

The company I'm hosted with is migrating all their servers from one datacentre to another. Instead of leasing servers from ThePlanet, they've now grown so much that they're able to buy their own hardware. This means a faster server for me at the same price. And because they change datacentres the hosting staff also gets physical access to the servers 24/7 - no more waiting for ThePlanet engineers to reboot a server if something goes awfully wrong (not that it ever does).

 

I've already recieved the new account, and within 3 weeks I will have to migrate the websites over to the new server. This shouldn't have much impact on these forums tho, as I'm going to move everything over before I change the modetwo.net's IP-address. A few hours downtime at the most.

 

This is just a heads up. I'll update this thread once I have an exact time I will do this.

Complete!

 

I just transfered modetwo.net as the last website over to the new server. Downtime was less than an hour. PHP is still being served at the old server (until modetwo.net is updated in DNS with the new server IP), but the mysql-database is on the new server. This way we are all using the same database until the domain has switched over.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
