Planned downtime
« on: February 19, 2010, 08:15:51 PM »
Hey everyone.  I'm biting the bullet and making the transition to a different host.  The current plan expires at the end of March, so this makes good timing.

Starting probably either next Friday night PST or Saturday morning PST the web site is down.  I don't make any promises for when it will be back up.  I'll try to get everything up before Monday, but I can't promise anything since I have to work during the week.  If it takes longer than the weekend, it could run to be a week or two outage.

During this downtime, everything will be down.  Forums, wiki, IM, etc.  It also will probably come up in stages when I get it working (forum first probably, then wiki, then IM).

I'll post here again on Friday morning to warn everyone.  I'll also try to postpone taking the forums offline for as long as possible.

I licensed the new server today.  Things are on track.

If anyone uploads any files between now and whenever I say this is done, I can't guarantee they'll make it on to the new server (I'll take the forum down when posting is in danger).

Also, this is the relevant thread for tracking progress (obviously I won't be posting to it when the forum is down).

If you can see this announcement, you're on the right board.

I still need to update the wiki to the new site, and fix up the DNS so Darwinbots.com points to the right place.

Okay, I can't figure out uploads just yet.  So they'll be broken for a while.

Following are known to be broken or still need doing (please let me know if something isn't on the list):

1.  The forum won't send out emails anymore (I've checked and the server sends out emails just fine.  So there's probably a setting I need to change somewhere).
2.  Uploads are broken (can't upload files.  Gives an error).
3.  Need to install an SVN server
4.  
5.  chat.darwinbots.com no longer works (says server can't be found)
6.  Need to make an actual 404 error page

I'm exhausted.  Other than internet mode most everything else will have to wait till next weekend.

A developer chat, yeah.  With the new server I'm going to try and expand it to a general IRC, though.

Internet Mode should be working now (I can't test it (at work) but I think things are set up correctly).  Let me know if that's not the case.

It should also be far less buggy, since the new server isn't so picky about too many simultaneous connections or too many non closed connections.

It's working!!  
Well, mostly. I'm still getting a lot of "Error Downloading Pop files" and "Time out disconnecting". But it works!

By the way, HSVirLight2 got smashed by heavily mutated SF2's almost as soon as it got in. Sorry.

Yeah, I'm getting the same messages. I think that's more a problem with DB2's code than the actual server though. Also
