Server Move

[tkam]

I moved the site over to it's new server tonight, total downtime was roughly an hour or so. I still have to re-link the user albums and there might be some issues with old attachments but I'm working on that.

Otherwise everything else should be working ok, let me know if you find anything that's not.

Caught one myself, time on the new server wasn't right, should be fixed now

Great job on the move Tkam

Thanks, Todd!

Time travel, again? That would have been funny if this post was before the other one.

Thanks, Todd!

User albums and attachments should be working normally again now. Also just turned on extra php caching to speed things up a bit .

My favorite website just got better, more then the little I donated was probably worth.

Thanks and more thanks.

Thanks Todd, everything seems to be working great!

So far so good here. I had the occasional time out with H-C on the old server (though this happened with the SH forums as well, so it might just be my crappy internet), but it's running great now.

yay tkam.

So far so good. Great job Todd.

seems to be much, much faster. I can definitely notice an improvement.

[Knuckledragger]

I'll echo the faster and zero timeouts comments. Yay tkam!

Made one final change to the database, it affects how attachments are handled. So if you notice any issues with attachments please let me know immediately.

YouTube links are not working like they used to for me, they just show up as URLs.

x2, I noticed this yesterday and forgot to mention it. Even when I post the link in the advanced editor, the embedding doesn't work.

The plugin that does the parsing uses a cache folder to do it's work and the location of the folder was still set the full path of the old server. Just updated it to the full path on the new server and it's good to go again. Edited March 23, 2009 by tkam

w00t!

Fixed some problems with the homepage...

I should mention these problems were not related to the move in any way.

Todd -- is there a reason this is not working? I'm trying to post two videos to the "slow forum" thread from thewebsiteisdown.blip.tv -- all I get is a blank page. Preview post/go advanced work just fine, it's post quick reply/submit reply that don't work.

(It's obviously not that important...but might be to someone else in the future.)

[tkam]

I disabled a plugin that added some features to the quick reply. I'm thinking that may have been messing things up. Try your links again and let me know if they still don't work.
